Your telling me that an advanced civilization somehow developed near or faster than light speed travel, solved the various navigation and radiation issues, then came all the way to our planet and crashed?
I'm not sure why everyone assumes extraterrestrial.
FTL travel is also the same bottleneck to most of theoretical time travel.
Given that almost no signals from Earth traveling at the speed of light would have reached far enough to have attracted new attention of alien life, if UFOs aren't from present day Earth, then there would only be two circumstances that seem probable:
(1) They were here for a very long time such that there was no need to have been alerted to emergent intelligence in the past few thousand years.
(2) The more advanced than present but fairly similar class of alleged technologies is not from anywhere else and it's simply more advanced because it literally is the same technology more advanced. Which would also partially explain the limited intervention.
Though I'm extremely skeptical it's actually anything outside the norm of local space or time. There's been a lot of manipulation of public opinion around this topic before, and that seems the most likely culprit for the present activity given historical results.
Great point about the radio signals. Good article on that: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/news/a27934/galaxy-map-human-radio-broadcasts/
Dont you see? Humanity is SO special and important that beings so advanced as to effectively be gods have traveled unfathomable distances to give blurry grainy images of their existence. I mean, we're the center of the solar system, and probably the universe too.
I would have assumed that they are unmanned. If they are extraterrestrial, I assume they would just be some explaratory craft sent in thousands or millions of different directions and eventually happened upon earth.
