It's very simple – for reasons known only to themselves, the aliens installed a device that activates the compass by hanging a robe on the back of a chair:)
...as is well known, science fiction writers and scientists have come up with only a few basic possible models of alien behavior:
-a warlike race, conducting cosmic expansion, and awaiting the arrival of a military fleet in our system for its subsequent capture;
-a peaceful race, alien to war, whose society has not known violence for many, many, many years; they will gladly take humanity under their wing and share technology;
-a mysterious race, with its own agenda, conducting secret abductions of people for some global purpose, and implementing some kind of cunning and insidious plan with humanity.
Some people wonder why aliens would want Earth?
Why not? What about the two eternal problems of any actively developing civilization? Overpopulation and a shortage of resources.
Moreover, these goals suit any "type" of alien – whether peaceful or cruel.
Personally, I suspect something like the third type with elements of the first. Because I fundamentally do not believe in a utopian society.
Now, humanity is sufficiently developed compared to the Middle Ages. Approximately as aliens and we are in the present time. Exaggerating.
But one cannot say the same about the good morals and realities of our world. On the contrary. Crime, competition, violence. I assume something similar exists with our extraterrestrial colleagues; perhaps they don't have a mythical "single government for a hundred planets," but rather states/regions/Clans/syndicates/corporations also exist. Some of them – the richest and most influential – have access to space, just as our major countries have access to nuclear potential.
There is an eternal competition and struggle for power among them. And this is not a figment of the "cruel human mind"; it is natural selection that has evolved to a new level. Now, many can survive, but now they also want power. In general, just like on our blue planet.
Perhaps our planet is not the only one "under their jurisdiction"; there may be many. Perhaps there is not one civilization, but several, and they are engaged in a global struggle, having ventured into space.
And in my opinion, the most likely outcome of the desired contact with aliens is not a utopian one, but a very tense one. Or maybe they just like to create a stir around themselves, so they appear, but don't fully reveal themselves. A little joy in a dreary life – to stir up the planet:)
Nothing, as they say, is alien to human nature.
Although I do not believe that their technology has reached an unreal level of power over Time and Space. Perhaps they resemble 17th-century Europe, searching for a new route to India, but finding a tribe of Indians... who knows what this will lead to?
