Thanks for keep this thread alive.
The Phenomenon is a great movie/documentary, I've been interested in life outside of earth since I have been a little kid and I found this has lots of great facts and stories I haven't even heard of before.
TBH we're so technologically slow that it wouldn't surprise me if this was 100% true.
Maybe I'm just a sci-fi nerd but I watch shows like The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica and I just sit there wondering how much different humanity would be if space travel was a real thing.
Would we run into Cylons that drive home the fact that we're such a technologically underdeveloped species, or would be find out that we're actually the dominant species in the universe?

I wonder if advanced alien species who are crisscrossing the galaxy have anti-vaxxers among them?
A former intelligence official turned whistleblower has given Congress and the Intelligence Community Inspector General extensive classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possess retrieved intact and partially intact craft of non-human origin.
The information, he says, has been illegally withheld from Congress, and he filed a complaint alleging that he suffered illegal retaliation for his confidential disclosures, reported here for the first time.
Other intelligence officials, both active and retired, with knowledge of these programs through their work in various agencies, have independently provided similar, corroborating information, both on and off the record.
The whistleblower, David Charles Grusch, 36, a decorated former combat officer in Afghanistan, is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). He served as the reconnaissance office’s representative to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force from 2019-2021. From late 2021 to July 2022, he was the NGA’s co-lead for UAP analysis and its representative to the task force.
The task force was established to investigate what were once called “unidentified flying objects,” or UFOs, and are now officially called “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP. The task force was led by the Department of the Navy under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security. It has since been reorganized and expanded into the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office to include investigations of objects operating underwater.
Mexican Congress holds hearing on UFOs featuring purported 'alien' bodies
MEXICO CITY, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Mexican lawmakers heard testimony that "we are not alone" in the universe and saw the alleged remains of non-human beings in an extraordinary hearing marking the Latin American country's first congressional event on UFOs.
In the hearing on Tuesday on FANI, the Spanish acronym for what are usually now termed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), politicians were shown two artifacts that Mexican journalist and long-time UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan claimed were the corpses of extraterrestrials.The specimens were not related to any life on Earth, Maussan said.
The two tiny "bodies," displayed in cases, have three fingers on each hand and elongated heads. Maussan said they were recovered in Peru near the ancient Nazca Lines in 2017. He said that they were about 1,000 years old, analyzed through a carbon dating process by Mexico's National Autonomous University (UNAM).
Similar such finds in the past have turned out to be the remains of mummified children.
Maussan said it was the first time such evidence had been presented.
"I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world and that all possibilities are open for any scientific institution... to investigate it," Maussan said.
"We are not alone," he added.
Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, Director of the Scientific Institute for Health of the Mexican navy, said X-rays, 3-D reconstruction and DNA analysis had been carried out on the remains.
"I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings," he said.
UNAM on Thursday republished a statement first issued in 2017, saying the work by its National Laboratory of Mass Spectrometry with Accelerators (LEMA) was only intended to determine the age of the samples.
"In no case do we make conclusions about the origin of said samples," the statement said.
Lawmakers also heard from former U.S. Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who has participated in U.S. Congressional hearings about his personal experience with UAP and the stigma around reporting such sightings.
Congressman Sergio Gutierrez, from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's ruling Morena party, said he hoped the hearing would be the first of other similar events in Mexico.
"We are left with reflections, with concerns and with the path to continue talking about this," Gutierrez said.
In recent years, the U.S. government has done an about-face on public information on UAP after decades of stonewalling and deflecting. The Pentagon has been actively investigating reported sightings in recent years by military aviators, while an independent NASA panel studying UFOs is the first of its kind by the space agency.
NASA is set to discuss findings from the study on Thursday.
Maussan faced swift backlash and criticism from skeptics on Wednesday who questioned the authenticity of his presentation.
"This could really hurt efforts to take the issue seriously," said a user of X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter. "Why didn't they wait until a scientific paper was ready to publish it?"
