Should we ever discover real aliens, I'm confident they won't look like the stereotypical little green men that humanity has portrayed them as in popular culture for decades.

If we find aliens, they almost certainly won’t look like any organism on earth, because they would have evolved independently.

I dunno, genetic evolution really really seems to like the crab form...

Turtles I think too. Either way, probably not humanoid. Maybe similar to other things on earth, assuming they evolved in a similar situation.

I always think something jellyfish like would be most likely, if I had to picture something like creatures we know

all you have to do is look at a shark and a dolphin to know that isn't necessarily true

That's why they made them that way. Possible deniability.

Next you're gonna say the government wouldn't ever intentionally infect 1000000s of thousands of people with a virus and then spend decades studying the untreated ailments of it.

Or bombing their own towns.

Or mowing down with assault machine guns their own population. Or poisoning their own drinking water.
