SETI is looking for radio signals with highly directional antenna. A civilization would actually have to broadcast at very high power, and have started transmissions millions of years ago, and then had the dumb luck of an antenna pointed right at them. What are the odds?
On the other hand, there have been thousands of people over hundreds of years reporting unusual machines in the sky. Some think it is appropriate to ignore those accounts.
Why is that?
SETI = Search for Extraterrestrial Idiots
Why? Because aliens would have to stupid as rocks to broadcast their location using the electromagnetic spectrum.
Any “grabby” aliens or AI (think “The Borg”) out there would show up and wipe them out....
That means they would not last long.
(Oh wait, humans did that...oh oh...)
Read any Ezekiel lately? Thousnads of years --- "wheels within wheels." How about the succubus and incubus over a very long span of time, well beyond the "machines in the sky" verbiage?
I don't suggest anyone "ignore" accounts. I assert that the explanations given to date are all speculative, and the latest requires the assumptions that 1) alien UFOs are real, and 2) the government(s) are hiding them from us.
There are other speculative views. When any asks "donate" to support my "work," skepticism is warranted. And that is much closer to home that the "in a glaxy far, far away."
Ignore nothing. Be careful in everything. Examine a priori suppositions.
Then get ready to be anally probed on the mother ship....
