      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.

      The easiest answer is that they are mistaken and misunderstood whatever they think is aliens.

      Something secret that they had no need to know, so they have incomplete knowledge they are misinterpreting. It’s a code word, or words, of a project they don’t have need to know that sounds like aliens. It’s a cover story for something else they have no need to know, like a captured foreign spy satellite, foreign aircraft, foreign spacecraft, secret government spacecraft or etc.
