I absolutely believe in extra-terrestrial intelligence. The fact that recurring themes (oval shape, weather disturbences and seemingly instant movements) dating back even before a long haired dude who claimed to have defied the laws of biology and physics (every religious prophet ever). This suggests the following three scenarios: - They don't necessarily care about being seen but will not interact with us. - Whatever it is they think we have, they keep coming back. - Just because we decide to pour billions, they aren't going to suddenly change their minds. To me this is a typical behavior of a civilization that exceeds us technologically and their behavior suggests they are here to observe or gather data somehow. So is it colonial ambitions or just fascination with what they found--tiny parasites with inferior intelligence and technology but entertaining to watch. It would be like finding worms on some random planet. Not very useful to attempt communication or establish trade. Maybe they come back every once in a while to check if there has been any progress.... We could be many such "worms" find throughout the universe that these guys are just cataloging, to figure out and understand it better. edit: One final crazy out there theory is that these UFOs are just time traveling machines operated by future versions of us. But if they interact or spend too much time beyond being "UFOs", they might cause some type of catastrophic failure in the fabric of time and space triggering another big bang. edit2: okay one really even more crazy but plausible idea is that we diverged from a common intelligent being, and the OG smart guys are now discovering a much more stupid version of them running around thinking they are smart.
