UFOs existing or not, I do hope the USAF has a program for securing and recovering unknown, alien, foreign, and domestic craft; be they experimental or otherwise. This could be as simple as 'aliens' are a cover story for crazy secret experimental vehicle programs. Many of us really want to believe we aren't alone, or that the world is as interesting as fiction.

  I have no doubt that somewhere in the 10^80 cubic metres making up the visible universe there is life. I really hope there is some undiscovered physics a which would allow matter to travel faster than light, but that fees a far greater stretch. The idea that little green men would visit us, and do so repeatedly and clandestinely is sadly (or fortunately) ridiculous.

    My theory is that we are not alone - at some point throughout the existence of the universe, there has been, is, or will be some form of life on another planet - close to ours or far away from outs. There probably is some new physics that we don't understand yet. My guess is that it's a matter of chemistry - there's probably a whole bunch of elements that don't exist here on earth, and we don't know what can be done with them. Maybe our visitors do, and that's why they are here, or maybe for some other reason. We'll likely never know the answer.

      Well no the Mendeleev table is pretty much an enumeration. Where would you put these elements of Su(rprise)?

        Probably referring to the island of stability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability

        Those elements don’t appear to exist on earth. If we found them we’d be able to identify them.

  Is it just me, or is there a huge uptick in the US military trying to make the world believe in aliens? There are many claimed leaks and released documents/video lately.

Ahh the site claims I’m in the European economic area (I’m not) so won’t serve the page. Probably means they are actively hostile to me. From the headline I’d hope so. If a craft can’t be identified I’d hope the military would retrieve it to identify it. Be that a balloon from China or you helicopter.

  But they specifically say "Our European visitors are important to us"! How can they be hostile then? /s

If a alien UFO can cross the galaxy, why can’t they cruise above the earths surface without crashing?

  Obviously they come from a multiverse where there is no gravity.

  Who says that we or someone else didnt cause their crash?
