I agree. I mean lets assume it is true: how could the US government have failed a real alien ship? Did the poor aliens fail at filling out some paperwork? I mean this ship had to spend so much energy and fight so many real difficulties, what else could have failed them?

Seems reasonable that even an intersolar civilization would be subject to bugs, errors, degradation and bad luck. An intersolar trip could’ve damaged a craft far more advanced than what we can make.

Could be (perhaps even likely to be) an unpiloted craft. It could be a craft no more technologically advanced than human tech; maybe it’s an alien Voyager 1.

That is possible, strange things happen at sea.

Now in the case that they crashed due to a bug, then the programming profession is safe from program verification and AI, I like that option!

A good point. Although it could just be a probe. It could have been programmed to crash land on Earth. Much like we send probes to planets in our solar system.

That this is a possibility doesn't make it a likely one, however. But just pointing out that there's possible explanations that counter this thinking.

They didn't fill their ESTA. Dura lex sed lex
