Popular Mechanics ^ | August 7, 2014 | John Brandon

Posted on 08/15/2014 5:37:29 PM PDT by EveningStar

Movies and TV shows would have us believe aliens would look a bit like us, only with a big (bald) head, green skin, and crazy eyes. But we weren't satisfied with that old cliche. So we decided to ask sci-fi authors, science experts, and ET buffs what they think a real alien might look like.

We know who the aliens are, they’re doing all the anal probing.

“There is one thing that is nearly certain: an alien life form will be symmetrical. Everything we know of that grows follows a symmetrical pattern.”

Fiddler crabs? I guess that is just an appendage.

“An octopus is a good example of an advanced-alien analogue on Earth. Octopuses are quite (probably human-level) intelligent and live in a totally alien environment (compared with ours).”

If only they could demonstrate this to the only species on earth who might stop eating them if they did so.
