In a stunning development at the Supreme Court, justices were caught off guard by a visit from ancient aliens. Witnesses report the extraterrestrial beings interrupted a hearing to ask for recognition as legal citizens of the United States.
At first, the judges were skeptical. However, after the ancient aliens revealed their advanced technology, which included a device that could slow down time, the justices began to entertain the possibility of intergalactic diplomacy.
One of the aliens, who spoke through a mind-reading device, revealed they had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. They had been watching human civilization evolve and were impressed with the advancements made in recent times, particularly the development of the internet.
The ancient aliens also offered to share their secrets with humanity, which included technology that could cure all diseases and end world hunger. They even promised to help us colonize other planets and travel beyond our solar system.
The justices were stunned by the sudden turn of events, but they ultimately decided to grant the ancient aliens their citizenship. Chief Justice John Roberts was quoted as saying, "It's not every day that we have visitors from other worlds, let alone ones that can offer so much to our society. I think it's time we embrace this new era of intergalactic relations."
While some skeptics have criticized the Supreme Court's decision, many are excited about the endless possibilities that come with a newfound relationship with advanced civilizations. In fact, some are already planning trips to the aliens' home planet.
"This is the kind of news that makes me proud to be an American," said one citizen, who declined to be named. "We're no longer alone in the universe, and the future is looking brighter than ever. Plus, I hear they have great coffee on their planet."
As for the ancient aliens themselves, they left the Supreme Court with smiles on their faces and a sense of hope for the future. They thanked the judges for their hospitality and promised to return soon with even more gifts for humanity.
It seems that history has been made today, and who knows what the future holds. Will we be exploring other galaxies and making new friends in the coming days? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: the universe just got a whole lot more interesting.
