Assuming that UFO's are being controlled by an alien species and that they are in fact more frequent since the event of nuclear explosions on earth, then I think the safest assumption we can make is that the nuclear event sent a strong enough signal to notify them of our existence. If that's the case, I don't think we should speculate too quickly on how they would interpret the signal. However it does seem like there has actually been action taken by an alleged UFO. Look at the following link: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-air-force-personnel-ufos-deactivated-nukes/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-air-force-personnel-ufos-dea... There's a youtube video with testimony given by a commander that I can't find at the moment, but it's pretty insane.

Well the problem with that is that they would need to be passing by only a few light years from earth to detect it, if it’s even detectable on astronomical scales. It’s not that they came here centuries after the nuclear tests, because even if they have FTL that is the shortest time frame that makes sense unless a nuclear explosion causes some signals that some how move faster than light which both violates physics as we know it and would be really unlikely to go unnoticed based on just how much data we have from nuclear blasts and nuclear reactors.

  yeah but you're also assuming that they're subject to the same dimensions of time and space as we are

    The signals still needs to get there so unless they have listening posts or are in the neighborhood the timing doesn’t match. And in general the gamma burst form a nuclear explosion is so minuscule on galactic scales that it’s unlikely they can even pick it up over the background noise. A spectral analysis of the atmosphere of the earth and the detection of fission borne radioactive isotopes is a much more likely method which means they would need to be actively observing the earth to detect it and still the same light speed capped timeline is in effect.

> it's pretty insane. All of this is. You can either live in something resembling the real world, or LARP your life away in a weird fantasy. If I were going to do the latter, I wouldn't pick this particular fantasy, it's boring and unoriginal. Try reading some good science fiction instead.
