If you've visited the Lower Haight on a recent Saturday night, you just might have come face-to-face with one of these oversized spacemen, who have been making brief, overnight visits to our neighborhood -- presumably with the intention of conquering us.
Reader Lawrence L. snapped these photos over multiple recent nights at the corner of Haight and Pierce, where a projection of what appears to be a smiling cosmonaut has mysteriously appeared from an unknown source.
The image varies, but the implications remain the same: a space program -- possibly earth-based, but more likely alien -- is attempting to survey and ultimately colonize the Lower Haight. I mean, just look at this guy:
Nefarious!
While we're not thrilled about the prospect of becoming enslaved to a race of nocturnal space travelers, we are supporters of public art that's effectively untaggable. So, whoever sent these spacemen: keep up the good work. (That is, assuming you come in peace.)
