I wonder how advanced drone technology would need to be to be able to fake such a UFO as being from an alien.

  A helium balloon made from plastic pipes was adequate in Delft in 1979, but the Japanese paper firebombs from WWII suggest that you don't need anything more than helium, paper, and lacquer, substituting hydrogen or methane for the helium in a pinch. So maybe drone technology of around 1770. https://vimeo.com/50850893 https://vimeo.com/50850893

  That's getting close to impossible now. We've reached the point in technological development in which we can fake almost anything (and we can fake absolutely anything on photos/recording) - which calls into doubt any apparently supernatural event that would happen from now on. That is, given current technology level, were I found myself in front of a talking, burning bush, I wouldn't think "God", I'd think "a gas vent and a speaker".

    "There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up." - Exodus 3:2 (NIV) Even Moses might not have been that impressed by merely a talking, burning bush.

  Drones and balloons cannot make 100g turns.
