Shortly after discovering America, Columbus sent his flagship south to study new territory. He turned the Creaky Leaky up Amazon River to collect supplies from the natives and told the incredulous Wagasani about the fabulous lands to the North. After he continued on his exploratory voyage, the excited Wagasani held a council.
“These white men are no match for our military”, they told each other. “We will use the gunpowder technology that the Emperor of China gave us when Mousey Tune visited us last year. We will sink their pitifully flammable ships, enslave any survivors, and make them give us their American food like pizza and french fries.” The plan looked sound, so they loaded their dugouts with lots of rockets and incendiaries and paddled off for North America.
In only 500 years the Wagasani arrived in Norfolk harbor during a naval exercise. Nuclear powered aircraft carriers were running top speed and firing cruise missiles. Their 16 inch guns were lobbing bus sized shells 25 miles toward their targets, and swarms of fighter aircraft were giving supersonic tactical support. The natives in the dugouts decided that Plan B might be their better move, and paddled double-time back to Wagasaniland, making the return trip in only 250 years.
ET will be aware of the Wagasani problem when he makes contact with Earthlings, although he might be familiar with it by a different name. He would know that should he send an expedition to conquer Earth, by the time he got here we would be vastly advanced as compared to how we were during first contact. His survival until now means that he has learned to play well with others. He will be sociable when we finally meet up with him.
