  What if it's cool shit we do even no about yet?   It's not like the military dosent have secret projects.
context: Aliens: "We are here to take over your planet. We have destroyed your governments and imprisoned your leaders"
  People: "Oh Thank God"
  Aliens: "And we wil....wait, what?" >
  
  I was honestly wondering how big of an upheaval there would be if actual aliens landed on the White House lawn. I think I would continue on like normal assuming nothing crazy was said, like, "you will all be destroyed". I don't think anything would shock me at this point. >
  
  Here's what people need to know. Physics don't just apply to us, it applies to aliens as well. IF anything can land on the white house lawn they have pretty much 0 interest in our resources/land/etc. They never land here with any intention of screwing us for one gigantic reason, anyone that can reach use like that has EXTREME levels of resources avialable to them that makes the earth useless.
  So if anything would arrive like that so willy nilly, they'd be here openly. They wouldn't really hide, they would be here for cultural observation and exchange purposes. That's assuming they have any interest in that at all. There's no reason for any other civilization to contact us right now besides curiosity and data collection. >
  
  The motivations of alien civs in most movies are completely whackadoodle. Remember signs where they wanted the water? lol, theres way more water in the outer solar system and halo than there is way deep in the gravitational well. carve it off of europa in blocks and be on your merry way. 
  Even landing on planets is pointless. The biology is likely incompatible, like, theres no guarantee the proteins of an alien will be the same proteins as an earth species, so there might be a lack of the fundamental biochemistry necessary to even absorb calories off something from another planet. 
  And finally, once you have the capacity for interstellar travel, specifically fusion energy, the question becomes "why bother?" You can build all the habitat you could ever need in oneil cylinders >
  
  The biological thing is even worse. The alien virus or being affected by ours... Dude those things exist based on how we work not the other way wround. An alien creature is non viable. Your pet and you already have viruses and bacteria causing diseases that can't interact with the other.... And you think aliens are going to be compatible despite zero contact? >
  
  A few years ago I made a comment about what a generational starship that set out on a 400 year mission to another star would have to do to reboot the biosphere of the planet to make it suitable for earth-strain life when they got there. I was called all sorts of horrible things. And i mean, i was advocating complete and total xenocide, but, you know, people were not exactly happy with the idea that they couldn't land and walk around without a gas mask and lick all the crab-trees or whatever >
  
  You probably could just land and start running around for lulz. You wouldn't have any food, you might not like the air, etc. You would absolutely have to essentially destroy the current ecosystem and replace it with something compatible for you. I'm with you, you'd HAVE to wipe out life essentially so you can infect it with ours. The building blocks might match, but the self assembly and self replication systems absolutely would not. >
  
  i feel like you've set the wheels in motion to do all this stuff 100 years before the people actually launch the starship. Deploy a solar shield that can drop radiation by just 1-2% for a few decades and set off a heavy global ice age, and as the oceans start to thaw, drop in a lot of earth algae and phytoplankton. i imagine aluminum flakes or something designed to navigate to and deploy at a lagrange point to distrupt the solar irradiance
  or- even better- manipulate the present inhabitants to kill off all their large fauna by pre-terraforming with mass CO2 emissions, and then whack em with the heavy ice age just as the ocean ecosystem begins to collapse. when it thaws out, the extraterrestrial algae rapidly consumes the excess carbon to build up biomass >
  
  You might like Kim Stanley Robinsons and his Mars series. >
  
  Well, they would be the first to see weird classified aircraft. Not everyone on base is in the know on experimental equipment. >
  
  This happened a lot with the JASSM, F-35, U-2, SR-71 and F-117. >
  
  You missed the B2 as well. That one somehow surpassed the f-117 in number of reports. The u2/sr-71 surprisingly are either obvious or not visible at the heights they are at. They're moving so slow in relation to the arc they travel(they're moving super fast, just really far away), they're easy to get a visual on with a telescope or theyr'e so hard to see without lights in the dark you don't notice them. >
  
  Fun anecdote is my mom's best friend was a geologist and they'd see and hear the B2 across the desert at night before it was even known to the public. So I totally believe there's stuff being flown right by and people don't even know about it and report it as UFOs. >
  
  I know someone who got arrested for calling it a b2. They were making assembly lines for random objects and it was very obvious to the few people who worked on the various lines and tooling that the parts went together and was called a b2 lol >
  
  Nobody cares aliens, we're going through some stuff >
  
  Also Starlink. I've seen countless posts asking about dotted lines of light moving across the sky wondering what they were. >
  
  Do you think the navy is filing range fouler reports over satellites? >
  
  Gaslighting experimental aircraft as UFOs has been the playbook since Roswell. The air force drove a guy into the loony house one time. >

  They did a modest amount of trolling >
  
  Oh no, please don't wipe out our world governments.  Giving all of humanity a second chance to get it less wrong. >
  
  That's because they are real and the military has been seeing them for decades but was just recently cleared to report them without the fear of losing their job. Calm down nerds, I didn't say they were aliens, I don't think we have any clue what the hell they are. Personally I hope it is something way out there, like brain-bustingly bizarre. >
  
  Discovery and TLC (etc) channels rejoice! >
  
  It's History Channel, ya goofball. I am a proud aficionado. 👽 >
  
  Ancient Aliens season 20: Not so ancient aliens! >
  
  
  Nearly half of the new sightings were deemed "unremarkable" and attributed to human origins, according to the report.
  However, over a hundred of the encounters remain unexplained.
  
  Probably a mix of unremarkable but hard to ID junk in the air and classified projects that the soldiers didn't have clearance for. >
  
  Love this too - “None of the reports have been linked to any extra-terrestrial activity.” Err… do we have any such activity to link them to?? >
  
  Does this correlate with the huge increase in the use of drones? There should be lots more flying things in the sky pretty much all the time as use of drones has  grown so much. >
  
  I think it's because before they were not allowed or not incentivated to report, maybe the opposite, now they are, also yes the advancement in drones tech is surely playing a role, plus they have more chance to witness secret stuff because of their job >
  
  The aliens know we are in our final season >
  
  I'm beginning to think there will be no forced mating at all! >
  
  I'm still trying to figure out why I saw a small light in the sky make a 90° turn without losing speed about 8 years back >
  
  you were staring straight up and didnt realize you had turned around >
  
  I was facing downhill waiting for someone and was looking straight up. I kept my body facing downhill the whole time. >
  
  that's just what the aliens want you to think happened. >
  
  I have been seeking a more rational explanation but lol >
  
  see, they want you to think they can make 90 degree turns, so they used their mind control via government birds to convince you that you were always facing downhill.
  aliens always fly in straight lines. >
  
  Holy shit I should join the military >
  
  Glad to see the process is working. >
  
  The cover image was already shown to be the triangular aperture of a night vision camera.  It was a plane. >
  
  Aliens just doing it for TikTok. >
  
  Slap me on the butt and call me a dachshund. I can be the best pet you aliens ever had.
