I think it's amusing that your Sim discovered an alien. That's cool. As for having your Sim break that fourth wall, (as it's called in Theatre), it used to happen a lot in Sims2. I don't recall it happening much in Sims3 and I simply can't recall it happening in Sims4. I used to enjoy that 'connection' if you will. Some used to write about it on the forums about how their Sims would continue to play after they'd shut their game down for the time, using the 'breaking' of said wall as their evidence. It's a hoot and I love it when it happens. I recall in one of my games when I had a lazy Sim child do a task, and he gazed directly at me as he was climbing the stairs as if to say, "really? You want me to do what?"
Now, that it's happened to you in Sims4, I shall be on the lookout in my game, too, hoping for that moment.
Honestly, I find these issues where sims game has gone forward without player's help creepy (especially when the computer was off). The "Sims in Background" settings is supposed to make the game go on when you minimize the game, but not when the game is exited.
