If the narrative thats now coming to light is correct, they're not travelling though space, or not travelling throught space in how we presume (warp speed etc), they're shifting between dimensions, or that is the supposed technology (since no one apparently knows), hence how they seem to blink in and out, and appearing miles away.
Again this is what reports are saying, not me, or at least whats being hinted at
That could count for "vast distances", these objects could be a 3d projection, from a 5d dimension (i posted a video not far back where a scientist trys to evaluate what they're seen in the leaked videos)
Sure, but that would be beyond the realm of what we know. I mean, what's more likely, that the military footage is from anomalies in IR equipment, or that transdimensional beings are beaming projections to Earth, without somehow being limited by the speed of light (assuming the projections are to be controlled somehow)? The blinking in an out of visual phenomenon is consistent with artifacts in software/hardware. Given that light has a speed limit, they'd have to pinpoint our future location to within a millionth of a degree as far as sky arc. Our planet is not going to be visible to the naked eye to any civilization, even in the Centauri system, and even the closest star system would require them beaming to an absolute pin prick in a location that's not currently visible to them, as our star would've moved from that position years ago.
It's feasible in the realm of science fiction, but we're talking about a Kardashev 2 or 3 type species. It's a bit out there.
They're aliens, right? Any assumption that you can understand (or even conceive of) what motivates an intelligent race of creatures from another world is entirely frivolous. Think about how hard it is sometimes to even understand what motivates your fellow humans.
Isn't that a bit of a copout though? It's the easy-out for not having to explain the rationale for believing in something far-fetched in the first place. When pushed to explain why aliens are pegged as the cause of something that might be explained better with a bit more information, the idea that we can't possibly understand their reasons is a way to not have to answer that question.
Here's the thing, there's validity in that. Ants couldn't understand the justifications of humans. However, we are a real phenomenon that exists in their world. We don't blink in and out of existence. We've been seen and stung by millions of ants around the world. If they had cameras, they'd have a ton of documentation on our existence. With enough analysis, they could understand that some of us are intent on exterminating them. The don't need to know why they would just know that's what we do. We don't know what UFOs even do. That's the thing. The amount of information is miniscule, because there's little to no tangible evidence of their existence. So the excuse that we can't understand the motives of an intelligence greater than our own falls a bit flat because there's no information to formulate any conclusions on.
I never understand this mindset. Crossing the ocean was difficult not that long ago. You're doing what most humans do every century thinking of what's possible now, only to be proven wrong in a few decades or centuries. Even the greatest minds throughout history have been proven wrong not long after they make their "definitive" statement.
The reality is we don't know much at all, the universe and how it even works is a mystery, dark matter, and even extremely simple things are fudged by our scientists, even physics itself is in question now, so to make any conclusion in the infancy of modern times is premature.
There's a term for it, it's called like apex thinking where perspective is skewed of the weighted viewpoints of "humanity has come so far!" only to realize in 1000 years we hadn't done much yet. "Aliens' could be tens of millions of years ahead of us. Buzzing around the boondocks? Well, why would PHD scientists subject themselves to living in complete flith to study different species out in the wild? Happens all the time.
The physics of it haven't been explained. Everything stops at the speed of light. This is a speed limit we haven't even reached ourselves, not even close. We hypothesize that tachyons may travel faster than light, but we've never observed them. Apex thinking is a nice term, but science isn't averse to being proven wrong. It's constantly being revised and improved. Scientists have taken great interest in faster than light travel, as that could open the door to interstellar travel, but it's not something that's currently realistic. Far more research and effort has gone into studying the speed of light than UFOs, so it's a bit wild to so easily latch onto what is largely the unknown than what has had decades of independent research put into it.
There's fortune and fame for anyone who could prove the existence of aliens, or prove that the speed of light isn't the universal speed limit. One would hope that massive energy stores like stars would have the power to hurl particles like neutrinos at speeds exceeding this limit, but they seemingly don't. So grainy video of alleged UFOs isn't exactly the iron-clad proof to change perceptions. There really needs to be more information than what we have now. Far too much of it feels circumstantial.
