You comment sound like a “know-it-all”. We don’t know what these crafts are, where they are from and how they came here. A little humble attitude is more aligned with reality: there’s so much we don’t know.

My comment is based on the current understanding of physics and the odds of some creature capable of defying that being able to even be hidden. I would love for us to find evidence of life in the universe which is why I despise this charade which takes attention away from the scientists who are actually trying to do so. But apparently SETI is in on it too or some other nonsense.

  I would suggest you consider the possibility that the current understanding of physics a thousand years from now will look very different from how it looks today. Even more so a million years from now. The reality is that we're not a particularly intelligent species - as shown by the fact that we're currently terraforming our own planet to make it less hospitable. Our culture may well be extinct within a century. So I think it's optimistic to believe that we as a species have much of a clue about anything at all. Now put that in the context of an extremely old universe, and it's not hard to understand that we're unlikely to be the smartest people in the room. FWIW I'm agnostic about UFOs. The problem is that they conflate two issues - aerial phenomena, and alien visitation. There's no reason those should be connected. Or that the latter would inevitably be responsible for the former. The scientific thing to do is to collect evidence of the former before assuming the latter.

    So these incredibly advanced beings also keep accidentally crash landing their spaceships once they get to earth?

      Who also somehow are aware of the location of earth, it having life, haven't made themselves known, and have only been seen in a way the governments can hush up (all of them).
