For What Purpose?

Let’s just say it was an alien thing. Okay? But the question is. If it was an alien or UFO, what was it doing at 03:49 am? Was it sent on the planet to gather some information? But why a gas station? Are the aliens also facing fossil shortage on their planet? Just think about this, an alien planet facing a mass extinction just like us wants to move to another planet where there is life possible. Aren’t we doing the same thing? Looking for life on Mars?
