We could prepare better for similar occurrences. Such as funding better the astronomers and the labs so that we have instruments able to at least detect and take pictures of such objects, if not probe them.
Not to mention the possibility of one hitting the earth, for which we are completely unprepared. Even if it’s just a rock and not an UFO.
The main reason for having this debate is that we weren’t even capable of taking a good picture of it. The best thing we have is a white dot with varying brightness over time. We have no clue what it was and we probably will never know.
The state of the tech we have would be understandable if it was 1990, but in 2021 it’s starting to look pathetic.
