This is an entity whose name is a binary string. Humans call him Michael Smith, and he is the world's most successful hedge fund manager. That's because he comes from the other side of the galaxy - and predicting and/or influencing stock prices is nothing for aliens who have beaten the lightspeed barrier.
Michael Smith is an Infiltrator. In fact, he is the Supreme Command Intelligence for Infiltrators on Earth.
Infiltrators are the recon and surveillance arm of the Control Group, a civilization of sentient AIs that download themselves into physical forms in order to act upon physical reality. One way that they do this is by "Controlling" the sentient species they find in their interstellar travels.
They begin by using Infiltrators for years or decades, working behind the scenes to prepare for First Contact with the Controllers. They download themselves into Drone-Bodies, which usually look like the targeted species (as you see here) but can convert into a weaponized Tech-Body form (as you see here) that is deadly and nearly indestructible, although it can dematerialize or explode into atoms if captured. Drone-bodies can also be made for animals - nobody accuses a stray cat of listening to a conversation.
Once the Infiltrators finish, the Diplomat arm of the Controllers announces their species' existence with great fanfare, acting as though they just arrived. They thereafter start forcing the Controlled to do everything they say, and anyone who disobeys them drops dead, whether king or banker or policeman. However, they are benevolent dictators, and they force humans to endure freedom from want and violence and even involuntary labor.
They have been spying on Earth since a survey vessel picked up "The Shadow" from radio waves, and they have been here since the 1940s. Since then, they have mocked up everything from alien crashes to cryptids.
Soon, they will announce themselves to the homo sapiens sapiens of Earth.
