What’s wrong with that? If there were Martians, they would not have problem destroying our craft we sent on Mars so far.
As much as I want ETs to exist, I really hope we wouldn't shoot them down if they were just observing.
Or maybe it’s a simulation and aliens are simply users of the program.
Or it’s just more psychological warfare.
I have no idea what is going on and these are just random ideas, my point is simply that we have been seeing similar stuff for a long while now. We say it’s not us or china. If it’s not us or china, I don’t see it being another countries. If it’s private companies, what are they doing and why? Flying without transponders is highly illegal and unethical so maybe some sort of massive criminal organization that is highly technical and super secretive but that seems improbable. It’s not extraterrestrials exceeding the speed of light or extraterrestrials from the solar system because those are also improbable. So WTF is it then?
I was thinking of scenario where sailboat drone washes up on North Sentinel Island. Our civilization is much more advanced, they can't touch our airplanes or spacecraft. The drone is advanced, with solar panels, computers, and plastic, but is cheap and disposable. The islanders could row out in canoes and defeat it with stones and sticks.

The same people are laughing at primitive tribes shooting arrows at planes flying above their island. Surely there's a huge technological gap between anything we have now, and alien spaceships capable of interstellar travel?
Is this a measurement from a study you conducted?
Asking because it seems like a hand wave, and 99.999% of those kinds of hand waves fail to account for important details that don't fit the dismissal narrative...
And I mean that's five nines right there... :-)
Military or State psyops usually include drugs of sorts. For example, there are many sightings of Orange Orbs, these are flares being used on military training grounds which the public see and phone in or talk about on social media. Some of the Police are in on this.
UFO's and aliens are for those who dont believe in the religious psychological warfare programs using God.
Religions were invented about 6000 years ago, history tells you that shadowy people have been either using drugs typically hallucinogens or drugging people with hallucinogens in order to create something supernatural.
When watching ghost hunters or clairvoyants, with talking spirits from hundreds of years ago, what these people forget is how language has changed, some of todays vocabulary (words) simply did not exist a few hundred years ago, and yet people keep buying into it on places like Youtube and elsewhere.
Superstition & religion is a psychological coping mechanism for some and a way of psychologically harming people if someone claims to have a put a curse on someone. Some state employees play along with this, the medical profession give many people a religious or demonic like experience. Too many anti-histamines reportedly give people a hallucinogenic experience seeing a black shadow man, other types of hallucinogens give people psychedelic blocky Minecraft-like experiences, like Sativa giving people machine elf like visuals.
Humans and other animals biggest weakness from "hacking" by other humans is the use of drugs.
I think adrenaline can also cause hallucinations if the claims of people consuming large amounts of speed and tripping out is anything to go by, so its quite likely a fearful situation which spikes adrenaline is making people trip out.
Dimethyltryptamine is the main drug we make and release which gives us our dreams.
It also didn’t seem like it was that easy as it took two missiles.
I have no answers, I have no real guesses, but I am not ruling anything out.
It's not obvious that aliens who reach Earth must be much more technologically advanced than we are. They could have come here in a generation ship, which probably only requires builders who are a little ahead of us, and that only in fields like bioengineering.
For most of what they'd need for a generation ship our current level of technology is fine. In particular there is no reason they would have to be better than us at aircraft or weapons technology, so whatever vehicles they bring along to use when they want to enter a planet's atmosphere might be no better than what our current air forces have.
Plus this goes against the common narrative that these craft display propulsion capabilities that appear to defy physics, which (if we're assuming aliens) implies anti-gravity at a minimum. No one is claiming to encounter UAPs or UFOs with wings and conventional rockets. Again, that's something we only kind of know how to do on a napkin, and even then only if we fudge the numbers.
At the very least, I would want to assume any civilization capable of interstellar travel to be at least 1000 years ahead of us, technologically. Even with generation ships and no space magic. It's just a big stupid round number but I intend it to mean generally as far ahead of us now, in terms of scientific knowledge and technological progress, and assuming a few paradigm shifts ahead, as we are ahead of the Middle Ages.
My guess is that we'll be able to develop human-level artificial intelligence a lot sooner than 1000 years from now.
At which point it would be a lot easier to send AI probes to explore the galaxy and/or make first contact with another civilization than to build a generation ship.
The odds of bumping into an alien civ that is anywhere near technological parity with us are vanishingly small. Given that the universe has been capable of hosting habitable planets for ~10 billion years, the median age of alien civilizations could easily be billions of years old. Meanwhile our civilization is a paltry .00001 billion years old.
It could be that the only ones we'd actually bump into are those who built and launched generation ships not too long after they became capable of it, which would be when they are not too far ahead of where we are now.
Right now we just don't know enough to say what it is like out there. We do know that we sure haven't been able to detect any signs of alien civilizations. But we don't know if that is because very few civilizations start, or they start but something kills them before they start doing things we could detect, or they are only at a stage where they are doing such things for a relatively short time and then they switch to technology that we can't detect.
The absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. We've only been "looking" for life for ~50 years!
> It could be that almost all civilizations suffer an extinction event before they get technologically advanced enough to prevent it or survive it.
It seems to me that we've got three possible scenarios here:
Scenario A: There is NOT a Great Filter. In this scenario, we have a large number of civs with a high median age. Scenario B: There IS a Great Filter. It catches between 0-99.99% of civs. In this scenario, we still have a large number of civs with a high median age. Scenario C: There IS a Great Filter. It catches 100% of civs. In this scenario, we have a small number of civs with a lower median age (some ${Civ Age at which Filter Occurs} / 2)
It's hard for me to imagine that we're living in Scenario C. For a Great Filter to catch 100% of civs, it would have to be baked into the laws of physics!
Even then, the Great Filter would have to occur VERY early in technological development for the odds of technological parity to be good. And, of course, an early-acting Great Filter means fewer extant civilizations at any point in time, lowering the odds of an encounter occurring in the first place.
But the more concerning aspect for the US government is that foreign spies see UFO believers as easily exploitable marks. Thus the justification is counterintelligence people must sometimes lie to organize the security threats in an open network. This combined with an occasional Air Force psyop explains 99.99% of UFO sightings.
Sure there’s something *else* going on too, evident by the elasticity of true love, psychedelics and the general mystery of life’s existence. But for now, reality seems hard coded to prevent the explanation.
