Seems like solid proof to me.
I like that. And that's also the reason wny they keep changing the design - it's like the way the Doctor's Tardis is supposed to work: In popular culture we used to think alien spacecraft would look like saucers, and the aliens based their look on that. Today we have baroque CGI spacecraft designs in TV and movies, so current alien ships are made to look like CGI. When anyone actually sees and photographs an alien spacecraft, it is dismissed as poor CGI. Clever aliens indeed!
