Another declassified study shows the Air Force misled the public in the 1950s about UFOs to conceal the CIA’s spy plane testing.
Indeed, and I’m perfectly convinced there are aliens in this vast universe of ours, I just think it’s absurd to believe that aliens who mastered interstellar travel have nothing better to do than to zip around here.
They also happen to only visit Amerika too. Aliens, for all I care, is a purely epistemological uncertainty. I stay agnostic on whether or not they are out there. What is absurd is that while all these devices we have pointing up at the sky to see and hear things from all the spectrums detected no UFOs, yet the aliens are just there hovering above Amerika. I would expect extraterrestrial life studies to come from some meticulously put-together study from scientists (who are very good at pattern recognition and also statistical reasoning). The simplest explanation here is that they’re just a distraction deployed en-masse.
Earth’s civilisations are so backwards rn, too. If aliens did manage to get here, they would be far more advanced. It would be like walking to the shop and stopping to talk to an ants nest.
Entire civilization on Earth exist for mere 10000 years or so, of which we are barely noticable on really short range for 200. People just can’t imagine how space is stupidly mindboggingly huge and how much time is needed for anything to happen there.
For example: Probe like Voyager would need more time than our entire civilization existed to reach even the closest star. 8 times more time.
Exactly. Imagine developing space travel and then coming across a species that still largely thinks it can achieve anything by leaving all the great development projects to random individuals – 150 years after the discovery of dialectical and historical materialism. Not exactly a mark of distinction.
Then consider that if aliens manage to get here, the native species believes that they won’t have the technology or resources to find out a little about them before they make themselves visible. If aliens do arrive, they’ll know everything about us before they show their ‘faces’ and they’ll be stopping off at Beijing first.
