Aesthetics of [those in] UFOs
Copyright 2020, InterAmerica, Inc.
I think that most of us here believe that flying saucers [UFOs] are not necessarily from outer space or are visiting extraterrestrial craft, but do come from somewhere off-Earth and are piloted either by artificial machines [AI] or contain entities that are not Earthlings in the human sense.
And while what I’m about to suggest, using the movie Forbidden Planet as a template for what one might expect from another world’s civilization or inhabitants – that movie’s Krell – doesn’t mean I’ve capitulated to extraterrestrial visitors as the source of UFOs.
I'm using the brilliant sci-fi depiction of the Krell as an example of what one should expect from visitors from another dimension or universe (“world”) – and even from another planet should that turn out to be the source of UFOs.

I’m applying to those “others” the hypothetical view that aesthetics are not part of the UFO generators -- even time-traveling “Earthlings from the future.”
Current reinvigorated discussions among cosmological scientists that the “thing” dubbed“Oumuamua” may be, indeed, a visitor from outside our cosmic arena [the Solar System], and thus not a comet per se, as originally thought:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BBOumuamua
I’ve addressed earlier here the non-aesthetic appearance of oumuamua, suggesting that if it is a traveling spaceship or AI scouting vehicle, it lacks aesthetic appeal or aesthetic engineering, and its creators not inclined to develop “beautiful” spaceships by our standards.
This goes to my long-held, and noted thinking that in all discussions or reports of UFOs (flying saucers) there is little or no mention of aesthetic examples: music, art, or books – ruling out Betty Hill grabbing a book of her alien kidnappers before they reclaimed it as a fictive element in her abduction tale.
( The idea that an advanced civilization would have books – an evolutionary element of human culture replaced a few years after Mrs. Hill’s figmentation by Amazon Kindles – makes my point.)
Moreover, no sighted UFO has been reported with artistic accoutrements, symbols or concocted lettering, except for a few Earth-like letterings or symbols: Socorro, UMMO, and others (some detailed in early postings here and at our RRRGroup blog).
Descriptions of decals and insignia encountered on UFO entities are within the limits of Earthian creation, never a unique display of beings – advanced or not – who surely would have come up with remnants of creative symbology along the way to advanced, civilized formulated linguistics or art.
And music? No one has reported hearing music – sounds, yes, but not music or music-like sounds.
In Forbidden Planet the Krell had aesthetic values; note the pumping/energy station and the example of music that … played for the visiting Earth crew.
On Earth we have examples of various cultures and societies in which music has taken different paths to producing melodious sound, with obtuse patterns and instruments: India, China, Australia’s Aborigians, the Inuits, African tribes, et cetera.
Even Neanderthals were said to produced music:

made%20of%20materials%20that%20decomposed.
But no outward evidence for aesthetic creations, not even if the “visitors” are from future Earth or another dimension; that is, if there are “visitors” inside or are the creators of UFO “vehicles.”
So, would an advanced creation have a Shakespeare, Beethoven, Milton or Einstein – well, maybe an Einstein – but our creative wonderlings are unique to Earth and the cultural evolution process over millennia.
Can we expect a similar cultural process in another dimensional venue, or dimension, or planet elsewhere in the cosmos? It’s unlikely.
Why the lack of any circumstantial evidence for cultural artifacts or aesthetic manifestations in any supposed UFO encounter, outside a UFO or inside, as abductees tell us?
That Krell music was weird, as would be any ET or outside music would be, but anyone who heard something besides whistling or exhaust or flight noises would recognize a musical-like strain surely.
And an art forms would stand out too, but nope. Nada, in the flying saucer lore.
Technology perhaps – but not even math symbols. Those are unique to Earth also.
Science from other cultures off Earth would be odd to the point of non-recognizability to anyone who happened to see them or think they did.
UFOs are mysterious in many ways. Aesthetics as much as anything.
WE may be dealing with barbarians of a grand kind – or AI, for which art may have no meaning, just mechanical survival.
