Or perhaps it is a bio lab and our development is it's project. Or maybe it is comunication device and mere comunication with these aliens is so profoundly affecting that it changes the course of mankind. Or maybe they are just there for other reasons and our chance encounters with them have such an effect. Or maybe something else. That is the beauty of it. It leaves us with questions or at least our own interpretations. It is weird which is what such a real life encounter could only be as opposed to the conventional straight forward understandable (because they are fully explained) alien encounters one finds in most scifi. And when you think about it, before 2001 just about all alien encounters were with aliens invading us in flying saucers. This movie was soooo far ahead of it's time that we are still catching up.
