Just want to pint out this old article that I found:
INFERENCE OF THARGOID MENTAL PROCESSES FROM COMBAT RECORDS
S.L.A.M
By cross-indexing variables extracted from combat records of both human and Thargoid space vehicles with brain patterns and personality profiles of human pilots, scientists at the Alien Studies Institute (Alioth) have constructed what they claim to be an accurate model of Thargoid mental processes.
The model, constructed by a multidisciplinary team of human scientists and artificial intelligences, has so far been verified only by using it to regenerate combat maneuver sequences and tactical decisions, but a press release issued by the centre claims that the model reproduces observed behaviour with better than 99% accuracy. Former combat pilots asked to engage the model in simulated dogfights report that it responds convincingly.
"It felt just like bug-busting all over again. That thing flies like a Thargoid and it attacks like a Thargoid." said one veteran.
Critics of the experiment have suggested that the team, led by Professor Stefano Martinengo and Dr Gianna Cerri of the Federal Academy on Lee (Epsilon Indi), have invalidated their experimental results by the way in which they selected the parameters for extraction.
"Simulating Thargoid behaviour is not difficult. Any VR-game manufacturer can do as much," said Dr Joseph Andrews of the Alien Studies Institute (Alioth).
"It will take more than that to convince me that Martinengo's team have any real new insights into what made the Thargoids tick, buzz and whir."
The experimenters remain optimistic, however, and hope that simulations using their model may perhaps reveal something of the reasons behind the Thargoids' dramatic defeat and subsequent disappearance.
IMO it could be that this Thargoids are not as "alien" as we thought.
