Hello.
I have a few remarks / questions about these extracts :
Session Date: February 27th 2016
(...)
(Joe) Was this portal opened accidentally in this area? It wasn't specifically related to these people?
A: It was a scouting expedition by other dimensionalplant basedamateurs.
Q: (L) Are you sayingplant-basedin the sense that these were creatures that wereplantiferousor something?
A: Yes
(...)
Q: (Pierre) What made the location important?
A: Underground mineral content and structure.
Q: (Joe) So this was a bunch ofplant-likecreatures who were scouting the planet for minerals for dinner or something... Mining something...
A: Close.
(...)
Q: (Joe)Plant-based…它们看起来像什么?他们喜欢仙人掌people or something?
A: Similar to some so-called gray aliens.
Q: (Joe) But they'replant-based.
(Andromeda) And they were experimenting or looking for minerals or something.
(L) Scouting.
(Andromeda) People were in the way, and they were like, "Oops! We didn't want you..."
(Joe) It's like going fishing and catching the wrong thing, then throwing it back.
A: Close.

1/
@Lauraused the word "plantiferous", which is a rare word (geology/stratigraphy jargon, apparently) : I checked this word on all the (20+) dictionaries proposed by
Lexilogosfor both English and American, none of them lists such a word.
We can infer, from
latinplanta(plant, in the old meaning of vegetable), and
latinfero(bearing), that it would mean "bearing plants" ?
(For instance, "platiniferous" means platinum-bearing.)
Could anyone (native speakers, preferably) explain it better, if possible ?
2/ The Cs first mention "other dimensional
plant basedamateurs."
Laura (US American), Joe (Irish) & the team (among who there are native speakers) understood this expression like "vegetable-based" beings.
The next Cs' answers seems to validate this meaning.
But plant has different meanings in English, beyond the botanical one, particularly it may describes (according to the
Wiktionary) "A
factoryor other industrial or institutional
buildingor
facility".
So it
mightmeans rather :
amateurs based in a plant ("industrial" site) on some other dimension ?
(Then all the following Cs answers
wouldbe wrong due to this initial misinterpretation.)
3/ But then there is Joe's question about these beings' look, and the Cs' answer : "Similar to some so-called gray aliens.".
Does it mean that
among the "gray alien" category, there are different varieties, including some "vegetable" ones, and "animal" ones ?
4/ Let's say that these "amateur" beings are really some evolved (sentient) kind of "plants" of other dimension.
在我们的密度/维度,plants generally feed on minerals from the air and soil (through bacteria around their roots) in addition to sunlight.
(Some of them are even able to dissolve pure rock with their roots and allied bacteria !)
A few of them (
carnivorous plants)feed on animals in addition to mineral.
So it seems logical that these evolved "plants" would scout / mine minerals in mineral-rich moutains.
5/ We (as humans) tend to consider ourselves as the most evolved species on this planet (probably because we were able, or obliged, to "conqueer" the whole planet, and destroy it !), but it depends on which criteria you choose. Some plant species, including trees, or plants "collection" such as forests, are able to do incredible things, that we are not yet able to do (or, sometimes, even understand), like creating soils / air, regulate the microclimate, manipulate animals (through flowers/fruits in particular), etc. So according to these criteria, they're a lot more "evolved" (and cooperating) than we are...
6/ But there is a giant gap between our known Earth reality and imagining such "evolved plant" using technology. Well, anything may exists in the multiverse...
