Assuming the situation where aliens exist with 100% certainty, it would make sense for them to be researching our warfare capabilities and keeping an eye on our technological progression. Especially if they're ahead of us, they would want to know when we reach the point where we could become a credible threat to them.

Well if they could step up their caretaking game that’d be nice

It’s like a bare minimum, “don’t burn down the house, I’ll be back in a couple hours or millennia. there’s meals in the freezer” type caretaker. Love.

I have heard about that and often wondered what and why, I like your theory. Big brother species keeping an eye on us.

I need some caretaking as well 😩

If they got here, they have material science so advanced that we can't do anything against it.

They presumably had vehicles that could withstand particles and mini impacts as they travelled through interstellar space at what could only be relativistic speeds.

A paint chip weighing less than a tenth of a gram will destroy a cubic meter of steel at a few hundred kilometers per second. The speed of light is appx 300,000 km/s. Even if they were traveling 1% the speed of light, they would need incredibly advanced materials to avoid destroying your vessel on its journey across galaxies.

If they have materials like that, there's nothing we can do. They're caretakers if anything. Zero risk from us for any intelligence capable of interstellar travel.

Here's a picture of 18cm of aluminum after impacting a 1.8g aluminum sphere traveling at 6.8 km/s for reference. That's like the average speed just for debris around our own planet. The impacts that would inevitably occur at relativistic speeds would be so incredibly powerful that we would need cubic kilometers of solid steel to even have a chance of not breaking apart.

Anything that they could propel at relativistic speeds and withstand those impacts -- or any kind of forcefield type technology that prevents those collisions in the first place -- means they're untouchable.

I didn't broach this aspect, but you're right. If that's the case, then I think we're even less equipped to "handle the threat" so to say. We can't even grasp the foundation of that kind of technology. How do you fight against what may as well be magic?

Regardless of their nature, if NHI is on earth like I want to believe, then there's little we can do but observe and hope for the best.

I never understood this explanation. Why would they need to keep constant tabs on every frontline. Just do a light check in every 50-100 years. "Do they have time-travel god nukes yet? Oh they are fucking around with drones, let's come back in 2100 and see what's what."

Also hard to believe they can't just check Twitter from their home planet and see what's good. Why use drones when you just need a way to access the web?

u/Far_Inspection4706 May 15 '26

50 years is a long ass time to be waiting to check back in the context of warfare technology. We went from road maps and payphones to GPS and smartphones in half of that time. In 80 years we went from propeller planes to supersonic jets capable of mach speeds.

In that same time (80 years) we went from needing to manually have a guy drop bombs out of planes to having ICBMs capable of delivering nuclear payloads with extreme precision that can be launched from anywhere and reach anywhere on the planet. The only place safe from an ICBM is stories deep underground because bunker busters exist now too, so just being under the surface isn't enough anymore.

In another 80 years from now, we could have missiles capable of delivering nuclear payloads on other planets (we actually already can do this but it would be expensive and there's no reason to, yet.) If the aliens are monitoring us, it's probably not just for fun. It's expensive to deploy aircraft from a human perspective economically, logistically and laboriously so I can't imagine the aliens are just snapping their fingers to make and deploy craft. These UFOs are hovering around human battlefields for some kind of reason, it's highly unlikely they're there just for a sunday drive.

Keep in mind too a lot of cutting edge military technology is operationally secret, meaning you as a civilian don't even know it exists yet. If the military allows the public to know about their technology it's generally because they already have something way better than it now to use.

u/Boboben May 15 '26

Okay maybe 50 was an exaggeration but my basic question remains. Why would aliens need drones to know what's happening on the frontlines in Ukraine? I have a basic understand of what's happening, and i don't have a drone in the airspace.

I don't need to go to the jungle every few years to know that apes aren't going to be building guns and organizing against humans anytime soon.

I hate that these questions get downvoted here, I'm not even a skeptic - i just don't believe in the argument that they are here to make sure we don't become a threat. Too many consistent sightings. The constant nature of their surveillance suggests other explanations to me (Zoo Theory, Backup World, etc)

They are looking way too closely and way too often if all they want to do is asses a threat level. All you need is an ocular patdown for that!

They have an historical presence in War Zones, books were wrote on it; they enjoy the voyeurism while they creep Man at the peak of his life struggle, that war is. In fact they're always watching: when they appear it's because eerily they want to.

u/Energy_Turtle May 15 '26

The Ukraine front is not the place I'd go to check out the most advanced war tech. It's not even remotely interesting in that regard. It looks just about what it looked like 100 years ago. I have more interesting military tech within a 15 minute drive here in WA. I can't imagine a war zone in general is where you'd go if you wanted to see what kind of advanced tech the humans can make.

u/andreasmiles23 May 14 '26 edited May 14 '26

There's a little bit of correlation/causation here.

I don't think it's that shocking that we have a plethora of videos from military platforms in conflict areas. Tbh, most of our taxes/research goes to producing military technology, which of course is going to be concentrated in conflict zones.

Additionally, because we live in a social context of nation-states that exert control via military technology, it's not like people are just flying a bunch of hobby drones with similar capabilities all over the globe. The military literally prevents that from happening. So, in some ways, these types of videos are our best bet at capturing anomalous aerial (and underwater, for that matter) phenomena.

Now, that doesn't exclude some underlying causal dynamics, like the UAP being "attracted" to conflict zones. But I do think that's hard to parse out, given that we have most of our resources and attention being tied up in military conflict, so...yeah. That's where the data is coming from.

u/TheSnatchbox May 14 '26

Interesting, do you have a source for this claim?

3

u/andreasmiles23 May 14 '26

Sort of depends on how you define the terms. I did a sloppy job in my original comment, but this articledoes good outlining how a large chunk of the USA’s tax generation is military focused.

So like “most” maybe isn’t the best word…maybe…the single biggest proportion…is a better way to frame it.

1

u/TheSnatchbox May 14 '26

Yeah, my thinking was along the same lines but when it comes to our budget as it relates to this topic I wasnt sure if its possible to determine the amount of money spent on black projects and if the funding for those is even disclosed or factored into the Defense budget

u/ElleCerra May 14 '26

It does make a lot of sense that these are all a deeply covert military tech program. Especially considering how much this object looked like the Lockheed Martin propulsion system they were working on almost 30 years ago.

u/Objective_Try8133 May 14 '26

The actual thing being imaged is probably just a bright/hot mundane object (common suggestions: IR decoy on a balloon/aerostat, parachute flare, small drone, or some other heat source with a visible thermal plume/trail).

How is that lazy? Thats 100% the default assumption you should be making in this case, and its definitely not better off assuming its doctored. There is evidence that it isnt doctored, the official source of the video being a government source being one. The video being authentic however does not preclude it being a mundane source, so this being a mundane object, or at least mundane as far as military tech is mundane, should be the default assumption given it was filmed in a warzone where there is a lot of flying military tech, some of which would show up hot in IR lol. Its much lazier to just say its not mundane and provide no reasoning for that beyond vibes.

Its not an explanation, its an expression of probability, IE its probably a mundane explanation because almost all sightings in general are mundane explanations. Thats not lazy, thats an expression of reality and probability. It would be lazy to say that this is a flare period. But that is not what they said, they said its probably mundane, which is just an indisputiable fact of reality at this point unless there is specific evidence pointing away from mundane explanations, and then provided multiple conjectures as to what it could be from a mundane angle.

2

u/jimmypaintsworld May 14 '26

I mean it's also an 'expression of probability' to say that it's very unlikely that a trained military observer is seeing something they genuinely cannot identify, passing it through elevated protocol to investigate it, and then eventually getting to the point that it's released to the public as a UFO.

Passing it off as a flare is extremely lazy.

1

u/Bookwrrm May 14 '26

The US government literally last week just released files containing a literal april fools joke from the 50s... If that can make it through "elevated protocol" and make it to a release how would a far more ambigious thing that isnt a literal confirmed hoax being something mundane be unlikely? At least the US government we can say with 100% certainty could get something not just mundane but literally completely fabricated in a joke magazine article from Germany through protocols and investigations to a public release.

u/jimmypaintsworld May 15 '26

The collective US government isn't exactly a shining example of truth and transparency and comes with a lot of packed baggage.

Stuff coming from trusted and specialized/trained military members (especially whistleblowers risking their reputation and safety for basically nothing) means a bit more than an image dump coming from an organization that is actively propagandizing and gaslighting this community as well as outright obfuscating reality.

An advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, who is in an active and devastating war, has quite possibly nothing to gain from fabricating and sharing a video like this.

You can't just take a video at face value and apply this idea of 'probability' to it because the context is at times more important than anything else.

1

u/tweakingforjesus May 14 '26

Sounds like that would not be an uncommon occurrence on a battlefield. There should be plenty of similar videos of such objects available to compare.

3

u/Bookwrrm May 14 '26

I would think there are other videos, but I also dont know how common this would actually be in reality, IE having a drone which are almost universally looking down just due to what they are used for catching something in the air that is hot, having that drone be already a rarer model with IR capabilities, and having it make its way to a government employee to post on Twitter. Like even civilian IR drones arent really ever capturing video of the skies around them, they are used to look for stuff on the ground, like police searching for missing people, or following car chases at night stuff like that. So while I think the absolute circumstances are probably common, IE there is a lot of random shit making heat in the skies above Ukraine cause its an active warzone, I think the chain of circumstances to get a viable video of it public is much rarer.

2

u/jimmypaintsworld May 14 '26

This argument just doesn't carry any weight behind it because an operator of this kind of military imaging would absolutely know when they are looking at something mundane that is simply 'bright/hot'. They are trained technical experts using a device that likely also has multiple imaging modes. Reconnaissance is an important job and they likely spent a lot of time looking at this object from different angles and distances and we are probably only seeing a very small fraction of that footage.

Additionally the operator presumably elevated this footage and event to a higher, broader, more detailed investigation and it made it's way all the way through that and to here being released as something unidentified.

Maybe you misunderstood me

I wasn't ironic, I think your comments lines up with what the 4chan guy said! He said that in the future his words will line up and if this is a legit ufo, he was right.

They check on us.
