To me, that's almost the most prosaic explanation because it's one we would understand with at least most of our science.
Okay, we don't know exactly how they travel, but we know there's other planets around other solar systems.
We know they're in the habitable zones.
It's not that unreasonable that they might have visited us at some point in the past, right?
Now, that's where I think you start to get into more interesting areas.
And a lot of times when the media... So science fiction tends to, sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way, the narratives in science fiction tend to influence...
way we think about things, right?
And so there's been so much science fiction that these are aliens that the debate becomes, no, it's impossible.
Or yes, they are aliens and that's it, right?
But that is a debate based on our current understanding of science.
If we had this debate back in the 1800s, there were these things called the airships, right?
Nobody really understood what they were.
And if you go back to biblical times, right, there were
You know, the wheels and there were all these weird flying chariots and things and they didn't know what they are.
But each time we try to interpret them based upon our current understanding of technology, just like the metaphors I was talking about earlier in religions.
The same happens with these kind of events, right?
Chariots is the best way for people to explain something in the sky because that's a technology they understand.
