There are some pretty weird stuff out there outside the average UAP cannon — of metallic orbs, cigars and clamshells — that may qualify as your intrusions; good word!
Science lives at the edge of the unknown. In this era I think we need to engage in far-out speculation if we're going to understand what comes — especially if we hope to understand it from a non-anthropocentric point of view! Ha ha ha! :)

Show HN: A little bash script to install the latest Git (2.41.0)
Since 2.34 you can use SSH keys to do commit signing, but my Debian 11 only comes with 2.30.This little script is tested on Debian 11, modify as needed: #!/usr/bin/env bash which autoconf || sudo apt install -y autoconf which make || sudo apt install -y build-essential sudo apt install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev libz-dev libssl-dev libexpat-dev gettext asciidoc TMPD1=$(mktemp -d) cd...
Also, our physics is a human model remember: it's completely anthropocentric. As is the human propensity seemingly to assume that's all the physics there is.

0) What if interdimensional travel is easier than we think, we just haven't figured out the hack yet. Ergo: they're not actually that advanced.
0.5) What if they're hyper-specialized? They're really good at crossing dimensions but not so good at conventional flight.
0.618) What if they're hyper-efficient, and sending these craft for them is like us manufacturing widgets in a manual factory? As in they've reduced the cost so much that a few trips having "defects" is normal and within an acceptable QA tolerance for them?
1) What if unreliability is a fundamental property of interstellar/interdimensional (or whatever we think this is) travel. In a physical-law type of way analogous to the uncertainty principle specifying an inviolable tradeoff between precision of position and momentum.
2) What if they're very promiscuous? What if there's 200 craft in Earth's atmosphere right now, and basically constantly for 1000 years. Assume they arrive and depart at basically constant rate of 40 per second (20 in / 20 out). For 90 years of cover up that's 110,730,240,000: or 110 billion. Assume they only crash on entry or exit. Assume that 20 craft have crashed in that time. That means they have a 1 in 5.5 billion chance of crashing. Googling estimates of airline crashes gives 1 in 1 million to 1 in 11 million. Making them 500 to 5000 times more reliable. Checks out.
I think the extraordinary thing is taking a default anthropocentric point of view, and extrapolating it to the whole universe, and having a high expectation that's highly likely to be valid.

You will find your way back to that curiosity and openness that's your nature. When — is up to you. Ha ha ha! :) Can't help you man! Ha ha ha! :)

You don't see how secrecy could be placed in the same position with regard to some other thing?
Left as an exercise for the reader. Let me know if you want the next tip! Ha ha ha! :)
Or just go simple and sip water, maybe you'll find infinite "wateriness" is like no wateriness at all! Ha ha ha! :) You can add like tobasco to it, or bitters, or bitter gourd if you want bitter.
