A scary sci-fi thought I read some time ago, was that given the age of the earth it is not only possible but likely that if aliens did visit, they visited before Humans even existed.
The sci-fi element was that if they visited before even the dinosaurs, and mined some special material that, as an example, was some rare material that allowed for faster than light travel, we would never know. The other aliens that have the technology would never even bother to visit a planet incapable of interaction with the wider universe.

Hollywood might be interested in knowing more of this fiction. Who knows maybe, like many of their recent films, they will dump something out in 2026 with bad CGI.
- Larrikin 3y agoWhich sci-fi do you like that doesn't incorporate CGI or an element where the protagonist or antagonist doesn't have some ability to travel faster than the current known speed limits? Just The Martian maybe? Both are kind of lazy conplainy takes about the entire genre.
