The Greatest No-show on Earth

Karl Sagan would have asked this question:

Where were they?

Talk about wonders of the Alpha Quadrant, The Planet Earth is not only remarkable as a lush, life supporting planet and home to intelligent species, but it has a magnificent natural satellite, it's moon being so large as almost amounting to a double planet pairing.

If you are an alien visitor to Earth, one of the many extraterrestrials who are said to be observing the Earth, even to the extent of abducting Humans for study and experiment, certainly you are going to want to take home some lovely photos of the Moon from the earth's surface.

And then comes the Solar Eclipse: a very, very rare and amazing sight! How many natural satellites are just the right size and distance to neatly shadow their planet's star. This is a must see! This is a tourist event! This is space documentary gold! One would expect bus loads of Space Aliens, or at least expeditionary crews setting down to not only capture the wonder, but the reactions of the curious natives of Earth. If NHK can send a news crew halfway around the planet, some Space Channel crew from Tau Ceti or the like, would have the same motivations.

But where were they? For all the extraterrestrials the government is supposed to be keeping secret, there was not a single curious alien who had to see the big event.

For all the cameras, smartphones, colanders, and eyes gazing at the sky, there were no UFO sightings to speak of. When the day became night, and the stars came out, no one got a photo of an alien craft positioning itself to record the stunning event.

Where were they?
