A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel one: two green-skinned aliens sit in the cockpit of a flying saucer, with Earth and several other UFOs visible through the window against a starry sky. One alien in a yellow shirt says, "50 million light years travelled, but we've finally reached Earth!" The other replies, "Now to enact... THE PLAN." Panel two: a handwritten piece of paper reveals the plan, which reads: "APPEAR IN WINDOWS OUTSIDE CRAZY PEOPLE'S HOUSES" — the joke being that alien sightings are deliberately staged only for people no one will believe. Votey aftercomic: a skeptical-looking man stands by a window as a voice (mocking conspiracy theories like Roswell) says, "WAS ROSWELL REAL? HOW STUPID ARE YOU?"
