So, if you see the term "alien megastructure" thrown around by the 'scientific community', it's because they read science fiction stories written by pot smoking sf authors which is where the term originated. It's all science fiction. I mean, really... a "flying saucer" is simply a term henpecked, pussywhipped men used to describe what their wives threw at them in the 50's... that dish under the cup. sau·cer 'sôs?r/ noun noun: saucer; plural noun: saucers a shallow dish, typically having a circular indentation in the center, on which a cup is placed. i guess women in those days didn't express themselves verbally... now they won't fuckin shut up! And then they ask...."Are you listening????"
