    Right. This is the first thing I'd do, after crossing 20+ light-years. Find some domestic animals and cut 'em up. That way, by the time I reveal myelf to the local populace, they'll know I'm not f**king around.

    Clearly the work of aliens, since humans in the 21st century are too innocent to do such macabre things and, additionally, don't yet know how to use mechanical instruments with sharp edges.
