So I was sitting in Classic Civ today, bored out of my effing MIND, when I came up with this.

WHAT IF:

Aliens visited this planet.... 65 million years ago.

They saw Earth as a habitable planet worthy of colonization. They landed, tried to settle, but couldn't figure out a way to get rid of those pesky dinosaurs. They tried and tried and tried, but big poppa T-rex kept eating them alive. Velociraptorswould overwhelm and chomp on them every time they tried to go out and take geological surveys. They could never fully understand this planet because they just couldn't coexist with the life on it.

So when they finally got fed up with Earth, they went back up to their space ships and used a tractor beam to get the biggest rock in the asteroid belt. They flung it towards Earth as a symbolic middle finger to it inhabitants.

Then they disappeared into the cosmos from whence they came.

It totally could've happened. If you think about it.

lol, can I have some of what you're smoking, it must be grade-A stuff.

I love the crazy stuff people can come up with when bored as hell. I guess as the Mythbusters would say, "It's Plausible".

But what if the crise Crétacé-Paleocène was actually caused by a volcano in the Trapps du Deccan in India?

Yes, that certainly seems like the simplest explanation. Wait, no.

What if the dinosaurs invented spaceships and flew off before the meteor struck? The ones that are fossilized are the stupid ones.

I think if aliens had the capability to travel all the way to earth to try to colonize it, they could take care of some dinosaurs.

Star Trek Voyager beat you to that concept :( Isn't it awful when you make a joke and find that it has gotten a dead serious treatment?

As of right now I'm actually completely sober. Sadly :( but hey, if you think about it, Science has never provided a real reason for the giant rock crashing into Earth and killing all the dinosaurs, other than it just being a random chance.

My story gives it a purpose!

Now I know the chances of this being actual fact are very slim, but there is one thing for damn certain:

Playing as those aliens would make for one hell of a video game :D

HAHAHAHA. I was thinking that concept sounded familiar (yeah I watched Voyager back when I was 5).

man, no wonder Star Trek disapeared after that show until that last movie. the writing/stories had become god awful.

The first response in these sort of threads is always the most logical, if there where more people like you there'd be no religion.

If those creatures had the technology to travel so many million kilometers, why they couldn't kill all the dinosaurs???

I think.. you should pay attention in class. Also.. it's unlikely they'd need to go to such extreme measures to eliminate a population of dinosaurs.. being an advanced species in comparison to an inferior one. I'd wager.. that if aliens could travel to earth. They wouldn't do so to destroy it.. as they've developed to a point of intelligence and ability that they no longer function under the primitive assumptions humans do about consumption and production.
