Confused Extra Terrestrial

The answer to the meta is a two word phrase I said when I realized this crazy idea I had for a meta would actually be possible

I'm going to throw this one out there. It's a little hard but I think it will have a nice Aha moment. It may be hard but in its favor it's very clear where to focus. (It's all about breaking the themers. And has nothing to do with space or aliens or the moon) I really rather liked the way the themers actually came out.

Some nudges:

The themers should be obviously marked. Figure out what to do with the themers and the numbers

That's all it is. There's nothing anywhere else in the grids or the clues

Do the themer entries have anything in common.

Since the themers are of ridiculously different lengths, letters, content, number of words, etc it's pretty obvious the themers in their final form not only don't have anything in common, they can't have anything in common

So the themers don't have anything in common but the must have at one time. Can you think about seven related things that can be modified in some way to get the seven themers (Try writing them on paper)

What do you think "confused" means?

What do you think "extra" means?

Okay, "terrestrial" is a little loose. But I told you it has nothing to do with space or aliens. It kind of has something to do with Earth

So... seven things in a category about earth that get confused and something extra is involved. Well.....[\spoiler]
