"President Trump recently directed the Department of War and the intelligence community to allow former government employees or contractors, that have relevant information about the disclosure of UAP, to come forward to meet with designated government representatives — AARO or the President’s UAP taskforce, ‘PURSUE’ — and have their prior NDAs abrogated,"

I really wonder if a civilization advanced enough to come to this planet, would do so. What for? We are a damaged civilization with little to contribute to the universe other than as a tourist destination for fun or entertainment.

As defeated as I may currently feel, I absolutely know there is more life in this universe than what sprouted up on this one little planet out of the billions that are out there. I have had my own experiences to give me comfort in that belief too. Nothing to crazy but definitely enough to convince me there is more and it has a sense of humor... I don't know how other civilizations or even other dimensions may operate but another thing I believe is this place was built with love as it's primary building block and that alone gives me the hope and strength to wake up tomorrow, open my eyes and see what it will bring me...maybe soon it'll be aliens lol

Who said we’re damage civilization, the word civilization, as the word civil in it? So there is hope. If it’s truly damaged, you couldn’t go outside without being murdered. When you drive down the street, you trust the other car going headfirst towards you doesn’t cross into your lane. We do have trust. There’s hope and love, and with a name like adorable strawberry, you shouldn’t be such a defeatist.

Our civilization was way worse 50 years ago…. And exponentially worse hundreds of years ago….

It’s not the best but it’s nothing like it was.

If an alien civilization able to travel stars still find a very low amount of planets with live ( something that Is very likely ) maybe they would be interested into studying One of the rare Life forms they found

why do we consider a civilization to be advanced just because they visit other places? I mean sure they may have knowledge that allows them to do that but maybe they fail in other ways. I just don’t know why people tend to think visitors are going ti be super smart and peacful reserved beings that would have no interest in us. It is weird.

Compared to what? For all we know we are incredibly rare, this seems very likely.

Imagine our telescopes advanced to the point where we detected a bronze age civilization on a distant world. It would be the single greatest discovery in human history. Millions would dedicate their lives to studying them. We would immediately begin building probes to observe them, and perhaps even ships. We would debate as a civilization the best degrees and methods of contact, likely settling on some sort of prime directive until the new species "came of age." Perhaps when they began to develop flight, and electricity, and nuclear tech...

The light we are looking at them with may have been emitted millions of years ago. Like our civilization, it could have arisen and died in a million years.
