I see. But it's about money. People pay taxes. You wouldn't want to take the biggest risk of spending that money on such speculations backed by little to no concrete evidence. These things might be true, no doubt about that. But it's about focusing your energy, your resources, and money on matters that matter. Some groups already protest against the money being spent on space exploration and particle accelerators. Imagine how much outrage would occur if governments were to tell their people that billions are being spent to find aliens!
I feel compelled to raise a point that often gets overlooked in public discourse: while these objects are currently treated as astrophysical anomalies, we should not prematurely dismiss the possibility that some of them could be artificial in origin or purpose.
In Robert A. Heinlein’s Starship Troopers , a speculative sci-fi novel published in 1959, extraterrestrial "bugs" use asteroids as camouflage for launching attacks across interstellar distances. While this is, of course, fictional, it raises an interesting question: Could advanced civilizations potentially use similar strategies — sending probes embedded within or mimicking natural celestial bodies?
Given the vastness of space and the limitations of current detection technology, it's conceivable that an alien intelligence might choose to observe or even approach Earth using stealthy methods — such as embedding technology inside what appears to be a comet or asteroid. The concept of a mass driver launching such objects across interstellar distances, while speculative, is not entirely outside the realm of theoretical physics.
The fact that we’ve only recently begun detecting these interstellar visitors means our sample size is extremely small. We must remain open-minded about their nature and origins. While there is no conclusive evidence yet pointing to artificiality, we should not allow scientific skepticism to harden into dogma.
It would be prudent for both the scientific community and the public to maintain a balanced curiosity — grounded in rigorous observation and analysis, but also open to the possibility that one day, our first contact with another civilization may not arrive via radio signal, but rather in the form of something that looks just like a rock falling from the stars.
Let’s keep watching the skies — and questioning what we see.
If I were monitoring a competing civilization, I wouldn't send Von Neumann probes or spaceships. I'd use comets and asteroids—natural objects that blend into the cosmic background, unnoticed yet capable of delivering catastrophic force.
There's a reason the Fermi Paradox exists. I’d wager that advanced technological civilizations aren’t absent—they’re hiding. They know something we don’t. Something dangerous. Something capable of wiping out entire worlds.
And here’s humanity, still stuck in a cycle of self-destruction, waging wars for millennia like some primitive, half-evolved species. We're so foolishly arrogant that we’re beaming radio signals into deep space, shouting at the top of our lungs: “Hey everyone! Look at us! We’re here, we’ve barely mastered fire, and we’re dumb enough to tell the entire universe exactly where we are!”
I would not doubt if there were already ‘aliens’ here on Earth living among us using advanced technology to appear human.

its definitely a rare sight to have such guests in our neighbourhood. Its all fun until they decide to pay us a visit personally😅.
yikes! true!

I know, but it's nothing like that. No worries.

That’s how I’d do it pending an invasion.
Ever seen THEY LIVE! OR THE ‘V’ SERIES?
