They’re disguised as insects!🐜
If I was aliens visiting earth I’d make sure my spacecraft exactly mimics civilian aircraft. Why show up in a wacky flying saucer if you can just observe and report with something that precisely mimics a 747? No one would ever know…
And if a highly advanced alien civilization wants to stay hidden, it is hidden from something else, it is the something else part that you should be worrying about.
They don’t even have to stay hidden. Ants aren’t aware of what we’re up to, for example.
How can we be sure? Just because you assume advanced alien civilization cannot make mistakes?
That only holds true if they’ve advanced to the point of flawlessness, or have otherwise found a way of interacting with us without leaving material evidence.
If they are/were anything resembling the intelligent life that we’re familiar with, than a highly advanced alien civilization is likely composed of individuals with individual strengths, and the odds are good that they aren’t all perfect all of the time.
Generally speaking, though, I would agree. If an alien leaves a space ship in a field somewhere, it’s 100% because they wanted to see what we would do with it.
What if humans were the aliens to another species? You don’t think it’s conceivable that somewhere along the way some human involved would fuck up and leave some evidence behind? You don’t think there’s one pilot in all the worlds air forces that might fuck up there flight path?
We just need to make some special glasses that allow us to see thru their disguise.
Yah, sure, until some teenagers start abducting and probing people to make a prank video to post to social media
And if they came to earth with a real, easily visible, ufo parked over every city with even a couple thousand living in it, and everyone saw them, half the US would turn to trump and wait for him to say if he saw them or not before they could admit they did.
Someone will mess it up and leave a trail. And I have just the man for ze job. Inspector Clouseau, if you’d please.
They likely would have already broadcasted their location worth technology that we use. If they’re advanced it doesn’t mean they weren’t at the same stage we’re at currently.
