It gets way too complicated

 

I know I see them.  They are fast but I still catch a quick glimpse.  They dart into the shadows and behind things.  It isn’t my imagination.  They’re real.

There is never any sound involved, which makes me think they may exist on a different plane than us.  Possibly a separate reality taking place at the same time, and no – I have no idea how that works.

I know you’ve seen them as well.  I’ve seen you turn your head to look but there is nothing there.  You know you thought you saw something move.  We all catch bits and pieces now and then, but we end up ignoring it.

Once someone figures it out, it will be much greater news than any encounter from space.  And if it turns out that doors can be established between here and there, I expect the first people to take advantage of it will be the bad element, those trying to escape from something they’ve just done.

That would quickly evolve into the establishment of checkpoints.  Guards and passports and all kinds of shenanigans.  Then, on top of that there will be rules.  If you have ever done blah, blah, blah, then you can’t travel between realities, and you must be this old before you can go unaccompanied.  

It's probably best if we just keep ignoring it.
