Aliens have been independently monitoring the earth for centuries now to understand the peculiar behaviours of its inhabitants, and their final conclusion was revealed a few days ago - they are not impressed.
According to sources, the aliens had initially come to earth excitedly, hoping to learn new things and expand their knowledge. However, the longer they stayed, the more fed up they became with the foolishness of its inhabitants.
"This planet is a mess!" exclaimed one alien, who wished to remain anonymous. "We've been watching and waiting for you humans to take some responsibility for yourselves and work towards improving your planet. Instead, we've just seen destruction and chaos."
The group's revelations came as a surprise to authorities at NASA and several amateur astronomers who had previously speculated on the existence of life forms beyond our planet. However, from the aliens' judgment, it's clear that humanity still has a long way to go.
"I'm not sure what to make of it," said Brian Pawlik, a prominent astronomer. "I've been studying the universe for years now, and the prospect of discovering other cultures was something incredibly exciting. Hearing this news is rather disappointing. It's like realizing the promised land isn't really promised."
Nevertheless, based on their observations, the creatures have prepared detailed dossiers on several cities and communities, describing the impact of humans on their environment. These reports include graphic details of the conditions of some regions' waterways, air quality and vast tracts of land dedicated solely as a garbage dump. In their view, these people have failed to live up to their potential, and progress remains stunted.
"We hoped that over time, things would get better," shared another alien. "We genuinely believed that humans would take a broader perspective on life and take proper care of their home planet, but that hasn't happened, and we've had enough."
The alien federation's announcement has caused widespread concern, with many wondering what this could mean for humanity's future. According to reports, the impacts of climate change on other planets have led to the demise of foreign life forms, and it could be a warning bell for earth to avoid disaster.
In their concluding remarks, the aliens urged humans to begin taking the necessary steps to effect significant policy changes that would help to preserve the planet's health for future generations.
"We don't want to scare you," they said. "But you've been messing up for too long. Come on, start making some changes before it's too late."
The event's ramifications are yet to be seen, but what's clear is that humans need to start taking their responsibilities more seriously lest the extraterrestrial folk abandon our planet altogether.
