A couple years back, I caught this show about alien invasions. It was supposed to be a sort of realistic documentary/fiction of Earth's initial reactions and so on. The biggest parts I remember:

-Small black balls started appearing all over Earth
-Everyone treats these balls like the plague
-Eventually, everyone is used to or enjoys their presence since they are literally almost everywhere
-They are of an unknown material
-A ship shows up and the balls start merging and/or activating
-Earth eventually tries to send an expedition into the ship
-They find no signs of life as we known it on the ship

Any help or leads? This has been driving me mad for awhile.

Btw, this is what you're looking for, OP. I remember the scene where they put a lander on the alien ship and find a giant "heart" but when they go to scan it the entire ship breaks apart into the balls. Then the next parts involve the balls falling to earth and attaching themselves to people.

Thank you so much! All the search terms and Google-fu I could come up with was too vague to find it. This was it.

Why is google intentionally obfuscating things from humans now? aliens black balls would have led to this result on the first page in the heyday of altavista.

That definitely isn't what he's looking for. OP is looking for either a doctor who episode or a black mirror episode, I'm pretty sure it's from doctor who though. I'll try to find it.

Search results are catered and skewed for the person searching for them.
If 10 people with 10 different browsing histories from different parts of the world tried to search the same thing, you would get 10 vastly different search results.
Its sort of like how ads target everyone differently, but using a far more advanced algorithm.

Now I know why I couldn't find it. They were cubes, not balls.

OP already said the other thing was what he was looking for.
>>
>>84630818
Thank you so much! This is what I was looking for, for certain sure. Got confused for a bit by weird posts and search tomfoolery and what-not but this is it.
>>
>>84630924
It doesn't matter, his description fits this doctor who episode PERFECTLY except that they're cubes instead of spheres. This episode aired two years before the show OP in his infinite shit taste wants to see again did. Shameful.

sounds interesting
maybe i should give it a wa-
"The series is presented as a science fiction drama intermixed with commentary from scientists and sci-fi writers."
ew nevermind

It's a product of a "smarter" Internet. There's a wide variety of programs & algorithms which can all be summed up by the phrase "suggested for you" which have us all surfing in little circles. It can make the internet seem like a smaller, more compartmentalized "space" when it's really as big as it's ever been. Perfect example is Youtube. It used to be easy to wander for hours through a wide variety of different genres and topics just using the discovery queue. Now you have to strategically pick your next video if you don't want to get stuck in a content loop. It's reminiscent of the old Random to Random Wikipedia game where you have to bridge topics to get anywhere and it's much easier to back out to the search bar and re-query. Problem is, you need to know where you want to end up ahead of time which is much less fun and seems a bit like soft information control.
