just got up, checking notables. old Sesame Street ditty, "One of these things is not like the others…"

notables >>8741016 (pb) #11192, >>8741712 (pb) #11193 don't point as do the others.

apology if already discussed. o7

since the UFO/aliens topic has come up, this older sci fi movie seems relevant.

I COME IN PEACE / DARK ANGEL

The corpses are full of heroin, but the cause of death is a puncture wound to the forehead. Unknown to Caine and the police officers, the deaths are caused by an alien who is extracting something from the victims, but is being pursued by Azeck, a similar alien to himself.

Azeck explains that he is a police officer from his own home planet, and that Talec shoots his victims full of synthetic heroin and then uses alien technology to extract the resulting endorphins from their brains, synthesizing them into a drug called "Barsi" to be used by addicts on his home planet. He warns Caine and Smith that if Talec is not stopped, thousands of intergalactic drug dealers will start to come to Earth to slaughter its population, as Earth is a cheap source of Barsi which is extremely rare in the rest of the galaxy
