This picture may have depicted moments before a local redneck unloaded some birdshot at the craft

The equipment present on Pleiadian Type 1's (repulsor shield generator, sensors and computerized threat detection) slowed down all pellets to non-lethal speeds (>implying they were lethal at all)

The 3-man human ET crew was unharmed

The redneck was still angry ("THEY SAYS THEM'S ROUNDS FOR FLYIN' STUFFS")

The craft almost instantly zipped across the sky into one of the cloaked motherships (Type 1 has no interstellar drives of its own), gently pushing the air molecules away with the antigravity propulsion and therefore preventing a sonic boom

The redneck drove off in his pick-up to buy some slugs

This is one of the reasons we don't have ET contact yet
