whistleblowers who have worked on “reverse-engineering downed craft”

...because any aliens advanced enough to travel light years of distance, from far-away star systems, are utterly incapable of locating and retrieving their vehicles from the far-more-powerful humans.

Except there ain’t no craft and he’s got nothing. Waste of time.

"because any aliens advanced enough to travel light years of distance, from far-away star systems, are utterly incapable of locating and retrieving their vehicles from the far-more-powerful humans."

"Ack ack. Ack ack ack ack! (What a hoot!)"

A couple of thoughts on that.

First, Nolan said in the video that these beings (if they are real) are not from another star system or somewhere "out there." They are from here on Earth. Even possibly from another dimension that seems to exist parallel to ours, but here on Earth. And they have been here a very long time. Much longer than humans.

Again, this is Nolan speaking, not me.

Secondly, though Nolan didn't say it, other scientists have said, perhaps what we think are crashed UFO's are planted evidence...planted to create a facade--a belief--that what we are dealing with are aliens. Perhaps they are something else entirely.

As some here on FR have suggested, perhaps they are what some have described as spiritual beings--demons or daemons--trying to make us believe they are aliens.

This is just my POV, but it is way too early to know if there is anything one way or another to this matter. Or if there is something to it...what is it?

There is little evidence but an abundance of rabbit holes.

“any aliens advanced enough to travel light years of distance, from far-away star systems, are utterly incapable of locating and retrieving their vehicles from the far-more-powerful humans.”

Possible explanations:

—The “aliens” are expendable—clones or automatons—for exploration or scientific study purposes only. The smart aliens back home are not going to risk their necks on distant potentially hostile planets.
—The technology and aliens were a “gift” designed to help with reverse engineering by our primitive civilization.
—The aliens are actually from here and live here—hidden by high tech.
—Time travel from the future (mentioned by a previous poster). They are from “here”.
