There is also another thing you probably haven't looked at is that
perspectively we may have already met one and never realized it... In
the american indian culture and several others around the world they
have an old story about where animals actualy took on the guise of
humans and interacted with them but after a while several has
forgoten how to remove their disguises and became stuck that way...
So in aspects we may have already have met one and not even know
it....
