You're lookin' out the kitchen window. Wait -- is that a UFO?


Now there are two of them!

Then you turn around and see the dining room light shining bright.

Mystery solved. Whew.

"Klaatu barada nikto" is a famous nonsense phrase from the 1951 sci-fi film The Day the Earth Stood Still, used as a command to control the powerful robot Gort; it acts as a fail-safe to stop destruction . . ."

It could be that the aliens are projecting what appears to be a ceiling lamp hanging from you dining room ceiling but it could also be a monitoring device, you just never know what kind of alien tech they might have…..

I would sleep lightly for a few days to guard against any possible probing just to be safe…..
