Well, while we are on the topic, it could be a PR move leading to a future geopolitical move [1] to justify things like banning bitcoin, encryption, and toilets that flush correctly. It would be impressive technology to do such a thing, but so are the current surveillance and military programs that we know about.

This should be an entertaining one to steel-man: - You'd need a way to send an "alien ship" into space, which would most likely involve Elon Musk and SpaceX - This would be an absolutely massive operation. You'd need to keep it quiet. So either you're doing the vast amount of work with a super-AI that hasn't been announced yet (OpenAI, perhaps), or you'd have to figure out how to keep thousands of people from leaking the details. This would require a massive army of people, completely loyal to the cause. - As there will be a bunch of people who don't believe the story, you'd need the willpower and inhumanity to kill them. But I imagine that someone invested in this story believes there is an army out there willing to do this for "the cause". - The bitcoin thing is a bit out-of-left-field, but I guess that they want to ban Bitcoin because it's decentralized, and not Ethereum because it is "controlled" by Vitalik (who is in on this conspiracy?). They'd be doing this under the guise of energy savings, but instead just taking control of a traceable cryptocurrency. This explains why so many conspiracy-minded folk are anti-mask and anti-vax. They likely see it as "conditioning" to do whatever is necessary for the world to survive (gradually escalating compliance?). So perhaps we are part of this army that is being raised to improve the world. It's amusing to think about what would be required for this conspiracy, but alas I have not been sent my invitation to join the secret WEF army yet. Or is that what someone who _was_ invited would say?
