A Probing Question

Probably not, we’ll probably know if we try to raid Area 51 again.

That's something I wondered when Trump was elected, and has delivered on. During Trump's four years, the DOD has publicly come out confirming the existence of UFOs. It's not a confirmation aliens exist though, as there are other explanations for what those craft may be, such as aircraft the US or foreign nations are testing out which are more plausible than aliens looking for humans to probe. However, I don't see any government announcing aliens exist unless they actually land in a major population center where there's no way anyone could censor them.

I always thought that, since many old sci-fi themes have come true, (rockets, lasers, etc..) it would follow that aliens would eventually show themselves in a big way, like landing on the white house lawn. (Like in that old movie). Even if it's just to be a distraction, or a false flag/power play by the world's elite.
Now, what they are, exactly, is another question. I think it was a big step forward that they finally admitted there are UFO's, though. Kudos for that.

Why would extraterrestrials want to reveal their existence to us? We're obviously not the coolest kids on the block.

True, we've proven to not always be the most peaceful species. But if their technology is superior to ours, and they saw us heading to the brink of extinction, perhaps they might try to step in and help us...

I think you just explained why they wouldn't.

Perhaps.

no...humans will always be curious and will always look beyond earth to try to understand what could possibly be out there
