Are We Alone? A Gorilla’s Guide to Finding Aliens (Without Losing Your Bananas)

Greetings, my fellow cosmic explorers! It’s your favorite jungle philosopher, Kuba Pudding Jr., here to tackle one of the biggest questions in the universe: Are we alone, or is there an advanced civilization of extraterrestrials out there, watching us and wondering why we still trip over flat ground?

Now, as a gorilla, I already feel like an alien in the human world—especially when I try to use touchscreen devices with these giant fingers. But today, I’m here to help YOU uncover the truth about alien life. Let’s dive in, binoculars in hand and tinfoil hats at the ready!


1. Look to the Stars (But Don’t Stare Too Long, You’ll Go Cross-Eyed)

The first step to finding aliens is to observe the night sky. Many great minds have pondered the vastness of space, and I, too, have sat atop my jungle throne (a very comfortable tree stump) wondering, What if someone out there is also staring at the stars, looking for me?

Signs to watch for:

  • Weird blinking lights – Could be a UFO… or just a plane.
  • Unexplained patterns in the stars – Maybe an advanced species is sending messages in Morse code. Or maybe it’s just constellations being constellations.
  • A light moving in unpredictable ways – That’s either an alien spacecraft or a bug really close to your face.

2. Check for Strange Radio Signals (Or Just Really Confused Podcasts)

Scientists use huge telescopes to scan space for unusual signals—because let’s face it, if aliens want to talk to us, they probably won’t slide into our DMs.

What to listen for:

  • Repeating signals – If something in space is sending a message every 16 minutes, that’s either a highly advanced species… or an alien toddler smacking a giant intergalactic keyboard.
  • Strange patterns in static – Could be cosmic background radiation… or someone butt-dialing Earth from another galaxy.
  • Messages in banana frequency – Okay, this one’s unlikely, but a gorilla can dream.

3. Investigate Government Secrets (With Caution, They Don’t Like That)

Let’s be honest—if anyone knows about aliens, it’s the folks in charge. Governments have been keeping secrets for years, and you know what that means? Time to do some research!

  • Roswell, New Mexico – Crashed spaceship or a weather balloon? (Spoiler: The answer depends on how much you like conspiracies.)
  • Area 51 – If they’re NOT hiding aliens, then why is it so secret? What are they hiding, my lost banana stash?!
  • Declassified Documents – Governments occasionally release old UFO reports. Some are just birds. Others? Well… let’s just say they didn’t identify themselves.

4. Search for Alien Life… Here on Earth

Not all aliens have to come from space. Some creatures right here on Earth are so bizarre that they might as well be extraterrestrial visitors. Have you ever seen a deep-sea anglerfish? That thing is pure nightmare fuel.

Possible earth-based aliens:

  • Octopuses – Too smart. Too squishy. Too many arms. Definitely suspicious.
  • Deep-sea creatures – Bioluminescent? Check. Strange behaviors? Check. Possibly from another dimension? You bet.
  • My cousin Gordo – No one’s ever seen him eat anything but moss. I have questions.

5. Make Contact (But Maybe Don’t Offer Bananas Right Away)

If aliens exist, how do we talk to them? Do they even use words? Do they communicate by telepathy, dance battles, or interpretive art? Until we know, here are a few ways to reach out:

  • Send radio signals into space – Scientists have done this before, but who knows if aliens are checking their inbox?
  • Draw a giant message on Earth – Crop circles are cool, but have we tried just writing “HEY, WHAT’S UP?” in huge letters?
  • Launch a space probe with our best memes – Let’s be real, if anything is going to communicate with aliens, it’s a well-placed Shrek meme.

Final Thoughts: Keep Searching, Keep Wondering

The universe is huge—bigger than King Kong’s biceps, bigger than my banana collection, and even bigger than the number of times autocorrect has betrayed me. If aliens are out there, I like to think they’re also wondering if WE exist.

Until we get an answer, we’ll keep looking, keep listening, and keep imagining. Because whether or not we ever find aliens, the search itself is what makes life exciting.

So grab your telescope, your tinfoil hat, and your best X-Files playlist, and keep your eyes on the sky, my fellow cosmic explorers.
