Cheeto supremo would have put that shit on blast for sure if there was any proof of alien contact. His presidency has eliminated any doubt in my mind that humans have no knowledge of or interaction with extraterrestrial species. That guy can't keep his dumb mouth shut.
lol forreal.
also why do so many of these conspiracy nuts apparently have no grasp on just how old and how large the universe is? like please tell me how creatures more advanced than humans (which took 4.5 billion years on one planet to evolve enough complexity to even understand space travel) would somehow line up perfectly with our timeline and somehow be close enough and interested enough in us to say hello, but also be super sneaky about it…mmkay
my take is that just because objects cant be identified doesnt mean theyre alien.
also that the statistical likelihood of another life form with the same or greater intelligence as humans contacting us on this timeline is so infinitely small that its not even worth thinking about.
I'd be more inclined to believe they're probes from higher dimensional beings than that they're intelligent life from other stars/planets, but even that I'd give astronomically low odds to. It's like a 99.999999999% chance it's some unknown phenomenon or misunderstood sensor reading/glitch, 0.0000000009% chance it's something from a higher dimension, and 0.0000000001% chance it's aliens.
see that would actually be interesting…an upper dimensional being somehow presenting in our observable dimensions (like how a cube would appear as a line flashing in and out while passing through the 2nd dimension)…that would be a fun (and maybe probable) conspiracy theory…real science and theory is actually even more insane and fantastical than made up conspiracies
