      Thinking about UFOs and ETs is fun & I don't want to be a party pooper but this 60 Minutes segment (like a lot of 60 Minutes segments) is an extended brief for a bigger Pentagon budget.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ufo-military-intelligence-60-minutes-2021-05-16/ …

      Are there technological civilizations on other planets? Almost certainly. Are they visiting earth? Really unlikely but who knows? Are airplane pilots all over the world seeing/recording unexplainable things? Yes. Does Marco Rubio want to use this for more military spending? Yes

          On the plus side, the American elite is pretty hungry for an external threat to unite a fracturing society and a good UFO scare is a more benign alternative to a Cold War with China. Alan Moore was right!

          Remember all the world leaders have a deal with a galactic entity and that said by an Israel government that said that Donald trump knows what’s happening but that humans are not ready to handle such news

          there may "almost certainly" be technological civilizations on other planets, but they also almost certainly destroy themselves before they have the opportunity to visit other planets.

          I think you've noted the important factor here - just because something is unexplained or unexplainable doesn't mean it's extraterrestrial in nature. Possible, of course, but certainly unlikely.

          To be even more buzzkill: most of these photos ARE explainable, fairly trivially. It's not aliens.https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/navy-videos-showing-ufos-not-aliens …

          It's not coming from other planets. Either here all along or another dimension. At least those seem to be the leading theories coming from people who know.

          How is it unlikely they are visiting given this evidence presented?

          Chinese drones that are sending the entire range of infrared radar waves at our most sophisticated systems so that we will target them, and they can scoop up all of that electronic intelligence, and develop countermeasures based on it.
