Look how fast and far our video games have progressed in only the past twenty or thirty years.We love to be entertained and we constantly strive to recreate reality by creating virtual worlds and life like simulations within our video games...
There may exist superior aliens whos technology is thousands of years beyond our own,who are doing the same.Only they have created a video game that is so fantastically advanced,that it would be almost impossible to distinguish it from reality...
And Earth is suddenly torched by "what appears to be" a gamma ray burst...

I can also hear the aliens,
"Sir, there seems to be a malfunction"..."Earthling number 2354466759839's program interface has somehow rejected the deletion order"... " I want a full diagnostic run immediately ............................................................. "Commander, It, he............ I am unable to delete the program sir"..................."."Sir, what does this mean"........ "Commander whats our next course of action............. Commander........... Commander"...........................
"I think were F**ked"...... "Commence auto destruct sequence on my mark, 10, 9, 8..........."
And then look up into the darkening sky and see the "Wicked Witch",i mean "Alien",flying through the virtual sky...

The OP reminded me of some of my childhood musings. I considered the concept of our lives being the TV entertainment for aliens from a distant world - sit coms, soap operas, dramas, the entire range of divine comedy. So here we are a few decades later, replace video games with television, and voila - the same idea!
Looking through the veil of our material world is a good practice. Keep looking until you find yourself as the wizard behind the curtain.
