    If you believe some of the UAP testimony, the government has actual craft and biological remains.

    It’s difficult to get excited about though because our timeline seems too boring and dumb for that.

    …and if it IS true, I think you are correct about how a huge benefit to humanity would be held back. But just as likely as the profit motive would be turning it into weapons rather than using it to revolutionize society.

      No they don’t.

      I’m sorry, aliens are flying here from light years away or other dimensions in the most advanced space craft known to exist, only to crash and get caught almost immediately?

      I’m sure they helped build the pyramids too

        I didn’t say I believed them, lol.

        But let’s be real here. These hypothetical aliens share the same timeline as us. They would absolutely be the ones to master FTL travel just in time to drive into a rock on the other end.

        Going interstellar distances just to crash into a tiny rock would be some impressive fuckery. Murphy couldn’t even envision that.
