The next day, following the suicides of two soldiers from the local military base, a third soldier, Jessup, reveals that a government project to discover other dimensions was underway at the base and that scientists accidentally opened a doorway into the creatures' habitat. Angered and vengeful, Carmody's followers beat, stab, then offer Jessup as a sacrifice and expel him from the supermarket. Outside, he is quickly devoured by a giant praying mantis–like creature.
While the origin of The Mist in the original novella is never explained in great detail, the movie features a soldier explaining how the Arrowhead Project experimented with opening portals to other worlds. Frank Darabont wrote, but did not film, an opening scene in a draft dated August 5, 2005, in which the thunderstorm causes a malfunction at the Arrowhead Project's lab that allows the portal to another dimension to stay open too long.

Alien are not linked to nuclear fission, but nuclear fission is linked to their reality.
Imagine ants evolving to use tools. at some point you would want to keep a closer watch on them too.

The mere concept of one species being lower than another might be unfamiliar to them... As to cognitive abilities the diffrence between ant and human might be smaller than that between human and alien...

In a sense…..what if alien species can communicate easier with other earth creatures, insects, etc. …….why would aliens have to communicate solely with humans?
It’s conceivable, I suppose, that advanced aliens evolved from lower forms.
It’s often mentioned that some aliens looked insect like…..like praying mantises. Could it be that the praying mantises insects here on earth are basically the forefathers of what the praying mantis looking aliens evolved from?
Same for reptilian aliens…communicating with reptiles from earth.

Common Ancestry: We Come From One
My first print article has been published by Significance, the statistics popularization magazine of the Royal Statistical Society and the American Statistical Association. Titled We come from one I tackle a statistical analysis that conclusively point towards a common origin of life on Earth rather than multiple ancestors.
Not everyone is convinced by Theobald's work. In a letter published in Nature in December 2010, six months after the Theobald paper, Takahiro Yonezawa, of Fundan University, China, and Masami Hasegawa, of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, Japan, argued that Theobald's test was not enough to reject the multiple-ancestry hypotheses. They pointed out that confounding factors such as convergent evolution due to selection, though mentioned by Theobald, were not taken sufficiently into account. Theobald's work will probably lead to many future studies on common ancestry which may address possible shortcomings in his methodology.

It remains subjective to me…

I think the necessity to communicate with us is that we pose the thread and not all the other species. Nothing really says that they don't communicate with other species too.
Maybe aliens were like, "has anyone managed to establish contact with those naked apes nuking the planet?"
and the aninals were all like "nope, theyr really dense with their soundbased language"...

It could as well be chemical, and we wouldn't know better than to dupe it telepathy...
What if their telepathy evolved from a chemical language, and they'd try to telepathically communicate?
we wouldn't know what to do with either...
I think It's possible to have communication between two diffrent types of languages, but not without intense study and honest empathy...
Not something humans are especially good at, so I have low hopes we as a species will ever get to communicate in diffrent language types.
That's not to say it can't happen with individuals, as there is nothing that can restrict one from listening.
At first I think it would be a one way communication, as we terribly suck at empathy. If you want to communicate you kind of have to feel what the other is trying to say, while also understanding how, what you say, makes somone feel.
And that is assuming an improbable amount of common ground already...

With that much common ground I'd wager a guess and say they are time traveling humans...

Well as of now it seems to be a subjective experience and as long it doesn't come into objective reality there really is no way to prove anything any way for anyone. Which still doesn't negate the subjective reality.
I guess genetic material could go along way to determine if they were our descendants.

just be for they detornate the first nuc.
They found a possibility that it could
blow up the earths atmosphere.
so what if you could find a way for the chain
reaction to work with ALL mater?
Then with just ONE small bomb you could blow up a planet.
I bet if we find out how to do this.
the aliens will End mankind.
Impact erosion
The impact of a large meteoroid can lead to the loss of atmosphere. If a collision is sufficiently energetic, it is possible for ejecta, including atmospheric molecules, to reach escape velocity. In order to have a significant effect on atmospheric escape, the radius of the impacting body must be larger than the scale height.
The projectile can impart momentum, and thereby facilitate escape of the atmosphere, in three main ways: (a) the meteoroid heats and accelerates the gas it encounters as it travels through the atmosphere, (b) solid ejecta from the impact crater heat atmospheric particles through drag as they are ejected, and (c) the impact creates vapor which expands away from the surface. In the first case, the heated gas can escape in a manner similar to hydrodynamic escape, albeit on a more localized scale.
Most of the escape from impact erosion occurs due to the third case. The maximum atmosphere that can be ejected is above a plane tangent to the impact site.
