"This has to be satire." I read the article and I am unsure if it is satirical or serious.
It did originate from Bloomberg News.

I read the article and I am unsure if it is satirical or serious. I think that if either Bloomberg or anyone else had confirmed the terrestrial visitation of extraterrestrials, that fact alone would be screamed in banner headlines. I stand by satire. Or maybe some reporter had the editor tied up in the closet while he's running amok, or something.

It's just a little tongue-in-cheek, but only a little. I was surprised how even handed the article was written. It's not an insignificant thought that industry might have links with ET's. Not that I'm going to lose any sleep over the issue, but would not be the strangest set of circumstances I could imagine.

I think it's inherently both serious and satirical.
But then, lots of truth has been 'leaked' through plain 'fiction.'
