Humans and many organisms do not look at a scene in steadiness; instead, the eyes move around, locating interesting parts of the scene and building up a three-dimensional ‘map’ corresponding to the scene.

    It is theyre not humanoid aliens. they’re kinda like if a starfish was a ring instead of a star and they have tendrils/arms that are constantly waving around and they hover. The team notices they’re invisible to someone watching because they send a member on to the alien ship with a camera crew. the ppl watching on the other side of the screen let them know there an alien smack dab infront of the person entering the alien ship. A team catches one to study in a holding cell but they don’t respond to humans because they’re too far from the main hive.

    The book is called blindsight by Peter watts highly recommend
