Maybe Earth is an alien planet and we aren’t aware of it.

Aliens may be living among us undetected by science

As long as they have their green cards or become legal citizens, I have no beef with them.

Dennis Rodman did a cameo playing an alien on “Third Rock From The Sun”.

Plus that little cameo in did in MIB -- it is what made me think of it...

I would say two things to your reasonable point about the discovery of new species: (1) all of the examples you cite are macroscopic, not microscopic—macroscopic examplars of species are much less numerous, and so are much more easily overlooked, than microscopic ones, which tend to exist in truly stupendous numbers; (2) a microscope will still show the existence of structure, no matter whether that structure has previously been classified or not, so I still wonder why it is that the structures that make up this "weird life" haven't been seen under microscopes. Again, where does it live? I guess you could say it might live in a tiny fissure on the floor of the Mariana Trench or someplace like that, and I'd certainly agree that that's possible. But likely? I don't think I'd go that far.

One thought I had about microscopic life is that many new life forms (like the eye-lash mites) were discovered by the electron microscope.

I wonder how many new species and organisms will be discovered now that portable/lightweight electron microscopes are being developed for field use?

It’s my in-laws...trust me.

Then our husbands HAVE to be related! :-)

That’s the sad part...but at least we can keep working on them!

How about an Illegal Alien from Kenya?

Aliens may be living among us, but we do not know it because they are microbes that do not have the standard biochemistry of Earth-dwelling organisms.

Well, that explains Goober...

Now I know what the proctologist meant when he told me, "Dude, there are Aliens living in Uranus."

One's at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Who are these people who don’t know about the aliens? Jeez, get with the program, already!
