I'll bite. Why do they crash so much?

If all it takes is the threat of a virus to almost topple our society the only thing they’d have to do is show up.

It would be just like those damned aliens to weaken our social and economic systems in advance of an invasion by releasing a virus into the general population. Get everybody cowering inside their homes so when they show up in the sky nobody will be ready to start shooting at them. Perfect distraction.
Is it just a coincidence that we recently discovered not one but two interstellar objects passing through the solar system right before the coronavirus started? Dropping their germs on us. Softening us up.
I like it. That's some good ol' conspiracy thinking.

If they can travel through space with advanced technologies, I'm sure they could easily take us down without the need for a virus. Or at least made a more lethal virus to wipe out million's. You never know though. They could be getting those probes ready while we panic buy those toilet rolls!!a reply to: Blue Shift

If they wanted us dead, we would all have died a long time ago.
They completely outclass us with their technology.
If anything, they probably hope that such a global threat (as covid-19 is) would help unite us and remind humankind that we all share this world and are in it together and that we should put an end to our pathetic clan wars and the other crap we are doing.
Only when we have evolved and started acting like responsible people on this planet will they approach us and welcome us into the "galactic federation".
Until then, they will just keep a watchful eye over the primates on planet Earth and make sure things dont go completely overboard.

a virus to remove the useless eaters so the healthy workslaves will remain.
speaking of Twilight Zone, consider the Monsters on Maple Street scenario. get us fighting each other, stir the pot, and we remove each other to a high degree, opening the door for *them* to move in, with a limited supply of humans to do the scut work.
A CONVERSTATION WITH A WITTY UFO The Tetbury encounter 24 March 1988
The witness - 77 year old rural man `Mr. R’ - wrote to BUFORA. He said that his story “may have been of the kind you investigate” and “it seems very improbable and I was afraid of joining the ranks of the cranks”. He had delayed a couple of months because he suspected it was connected with a US Air Force base at nearby Kemble, but he was now satisfied it was not.
The case was passed to Kevin Owen, a south midlands investigator, who found it impossible to coordinate a meeting with this man in a remote locale as Mr. R was in poor health. JR [Jenny Randles] tried later and succeeded in getting some further material, notably a tape where Mr. R described his experiences in some detail. Here is a digest of this quite extraordinary story.
It was 22:15 on this March night. Mr. R was looking through the kitchen window when he saw a light crossing a field some 300 yards away. He thought it was a shepherd rounding up sheep but it seemed to be some 10 feet off the ground and so he watched it traverse the field, as if scanning, in some bemusement. Mr. R decided to go up a slope at the rear of his garden for an elevated view down into the fields, but at the wall he could find no trace of the light. Then, instantly, he was surrounded by a glow coming from directly above. He cried out “What’s going on?”, expecting no reply. In fact he not only got one but ended up having a full conversation with the UFO!
Mr. R is insistent that the voice was real. It sounded tinny and slightly unnatural – as if coming through earphones. There was also a brief delay between the questions and the answers as if every response required careful thought. Mr. R believes he can reconstruct what was said almost word for word from the answer to that rhetorical question.
”We are just observing your world”
“Well you’ve come to the wrong part to see anything!”
”We know where we are”
“When you say `we’ who do you mean? Aliens or something?”
”No – no aliens here. What you see is a probe, similar to how your scientists send out to observe other planets”
“How can you understand me?”
”Your voice is recorded on the probe and relayed to us for reply”
“Oh, that’s clever. But I’m not sure what’s happening. Why are you observing us? What’s the matter?”
”You are gaining knowledge so fast and getting to the very basis of the structure of matter and you could cause untold harm if you don’t know what you are doing.”
“Well I don’t know much about that. I’m not a scientific man. I suppose it makes some sense”
”If your species don’t learn some sense we will have to take measures against you.”
“What do you mean? Are you going to exterminate us?”
”No – nothing like that. We’d have to take action to reduce your activities.”
“Could you do that?”
”Oh yes, easily. Wouldn’t take much to upset your order of things”
“What would you propose to do then?”
”You are very susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Something like that would cause disorganization”
“You could introduce this into our world?”
”Yes, of course”
“How will we know it’s you?”
”You won’t know. We don’t propose to tell you”
“Where are you operating from? Where are you?”
”Ah well, you’re not clever enough to understand that, are you?”
“I quite agree. I’m not an astronomer. Do you come from far away?”
”Well - quite a distance”
“Are you in what we call our solar system?”
”We may be”
“Farther afield?”
”We may be. There’s no point in asking such questions”
“What is really the problem? How come you are allowing it to go on? Why not just nip it in the bud?”
”Explain what you mean by `nip in the bud’”
“Alter it before it gets too far advanced”
”Oh yes – we could do that”
And that – supposedly – is that. This curious conversation with the wisecracking alien probe ended very suddenly and the light vanished. Mr. R added that the probe itself (which he saw only briefly being `entranced’ by the voice) was small – about twice the size and same shape as a rugby (or American) football. It was a physical object emitting light, not just a glow, but did not illuminate the ground just ten feet below.

How many years now have I told you that they would just poison the water system and kill us all in months - no invasion needed.
I am strating to think you are ignoring me.
