Reply to comment by [deleted] in NASA Announces Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Study Team Members. The nine-month study will begin on Oct 24. by ICumCoffee

I don’t disagree. Sounds like my exact stance until a few years ago. Space is massive and has been around for a very long time. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to consider there may be more advanced species. The distance to travel across space makes it impossible for our current tech and biology. Who is to say they can’t figure it out?

Let’s say humans live another 10million years and don’t wipe ourselves out. How much more advanced would we be and would be be able to fathom the tech?

Idk man that sounds pretty cool to me

Why would anything about them have to be biological? We’ve sent dozens of unmanned probes across the solar system. When we find something interesting we send more probes there.

What if say 3 million years ago (or 300million for that matter) an unmanned probe didn’t find life here, and then a few centuries later a larger set of unmanned probes were sent here, which have been chilling every sense?

You're right, were working with a bunch of assumptions because there's nearly zero evidence for any of this. Could be anything. Probably more likely not biological.
