I desperately hope you're right. I would love for their to be aliens (who aren't immediately trying to wipe us out).

I suspect that you're wrong though. And when I dig through your comment history, I see a bright, well-spoken individual in the grips of conspiracy and mysticism.

The UAP/UFO phenomenon is always "for real this time!" Even now, the people testifying to Congress are not providing evidence or even giving firsthand accounts - they are playing a game of "someone said" and giving second or even third-hand accounts of aliens.

Those who make the assertions must provide high-quality evidence. Please show me high-quality photo/video, or several world-renowned scientists who will attest to the definite existence of alien visitors. Conspiracies of this magnitude cannot be kept secret for long.

Finally, your comment on a previous post about reverse engineering leading to the invention of circuits and transistors tells a lot about your bias. These inventions and the slow, iterative processes behind their creation are some of the most well-documented events in history. We have engineers, corporate documentation, peer-reviewed studies, blueprints, and the physical objects themselves. All of these things show precisely how we went from crude prototypes to complex feats of engineering - one small step at a time. There never was a sudden and unexpected explosion of technology which was completely alien to what had come before it.
