When the Webb space telescope gets online and if it works as advertised then we MIGHT catch a glimpse of an extrasolar civilization, maybe. Big maybe. If that happens, that civilization will be so far away and subject to the physical laws that we are bound by that communication and contact will be nearly impossible. UFOs are just a distraction, if aliens arrive, we’ll know.

Anything we see will be millions of light years away, meaning it happened millions of years ago.

Earth is the only place with life in the universe. Sagan was wrong.

All of that verbiage assumes we now know all of the laws of physics and that there is no set of knowledge which supersedes what we call science.

The truth of the matter simply requires forgetting who influenced Einstein, and who and what Tesla was trying to achieve. The rewriting of 4 or 200 ‘quaternions’ formulated by James Clerk Maxwell by the self-educated, momma’s boy Oliver Heaviside, from the original field equations (because “field equations are abominations”) into vector equations, resulted in giving us all we know of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The original field equations (’quaternions’) postulated a totally different Universe that the one we now pursue - one attributes claimed is the nullification of distance, making far away peoples next door neighbors.

Our technology is only about 150 to 200 years old. Imagine a similar civilization that did not go through a "Dark Ages". They would be 2000 years ahead of us in technology, if we assume they started at the same time as we did. A "warp bubble" was created in the lab a few weeks ago. NASA has a "warp drive" research team.

To assume that we know everything about physics at this point in time is a very risky stance.

Since they have been here a long time and look just like us after their genetic research, the only persons using this argument are the aliens themselves.

You've been revealed!!
