It's possible that UAP could be human. Advanced or not. Though the operators would be separated from our society. Which would be pretty strange.
Where would they live where they couldn't be detected for centuries? The center of the earth? The deep oceans? The dark side of the moon? Any one of those choices would mean that there is a society that shares the same planet, and is thousands of years ahead of us. IMO that's a stretch. But what isn't a stretch" when it comes to this topic?
That's the beauty of it. You name it, I cannot say that you're wrong.
-ET
-Interdimensional
-Demons
-Advanced Insects...(my fave possibility)
-Interdimensional, Alien, Demonic and highly advanced insects...
Name it.
Could be a species that evolved within the bowels of a military land fill..
Could be living light beings.
The one reason why I gravitate to the ET possibility is that we can see the stars, They're there in the sky and we know there are planets out there.
We can't prove yet that there are other dimensions that contain intelligent creatures.
Hasn't been done yet. At least with ET we know where they might be coming from.

In that case you're fallen because someone tried to teach you what you should discover by yourself, hence both of you were cursed and this planet turned not into a zoo, but into a jail. Stellar confinement.

"Developing an advanced Physics takes little more than an able mind"
I agree. But it is with applied physics that you could fly, not just with the equations. That's what I was trying to explain: even if the guys in the Middle Ages could understand the basics of today's physics, they wouldn't yet be able to build any of your gadgets. And even if you dictate, one by one, the steps to build "the machine", they wouldn't know how to use it. And finally, even if they could learn how to use it... they wouldn't understand what they are seeing.

"To whom?"
To you and yours. And to those who decided to help there where no help is required.
"Does that include time travel?"
Yes, especially time travel. Time travelling to the future without changing the mindset of the travellers mean they will get psychotic on arriving. Time travelling is not about implanting someone from the past into the future, nor implanting someone from the future into the past. If your belief system and mindset do not match your environment the brain simply stops being functional.
"Is not the golden law of spacefaring just made-up stuff from sci-fi?"
No. Is just physics: you cannot observe events without changing those events somehow, and without those events changing you somehow.
No. Is just religion: curing one leper instead of curing all lepers was meant to teach you that leprosy can be cured, by you. Tomorrow.
No. Is just ethics: spacefaring is not about judging other civilizations, and is not about projecting onto others your belief system. It is meant to learn: not to teach.

"They defy the laws of physics"
No, they don't. They simply use physics in ways you are not able to mimic because their applied physics outexcels yours, the theoretical physics being the same.
I agree with you in that people is not good at keeping secrets, and that's the only secret: there are no secrets to keep.
The point is that sometimes people is trying to discover how rainbows are made, how they work, who owns them, where they come from, without understanding rainbows are a natural phenomena, not an artificial one. The problem is that there are others who try to explain that a non-terrestrial artificial probe is just a natural phenomena, without understanding that they are artificial objects. And the problem is most people call both rainbows and probes UFOs, without understanding that they are naming with one word quite different phenomena. And the problem is that people tend to forget humans are complex beings interacting with a complex environment using a complex tool: consciousness.
When you see a white unicorn in a magic forest under a sky with two moons crossed by golden birds, you know you are dreaming. You have a word for that state of consciousness, you recognize it as a human experience, a way of being human. But the unicorn is replaced by a glowing disk hovering over a usual lake, you enter into a distressful state because you have no way to describe and understand what you are seeing, because is unnatural, is not part of your daily interaction with the environment. You get mystified, or frightened, or depressed, or get mad. This is because you've been brutally disconnected from your reality, as a human being. You've been "irrationaly raped".
That's why interacting with exotic logic systems is so difficult to tackle: understanding them requires a new mindset beyond your biological reach.
You know all is about physics, though you all know physics gives no comfort and leaves you helpless in understanding the crucial questions: who are you? and why?
No. Is just physics: you cannot observe events without changing those events somehow, and without those events changing you somehow.
No. Is just religion: curing one leper instead of curing all lepers was meant to teach you that leprosy can be cured, by you. Tomorrow.
No. Is just ethics: spacefaring is not about judging other civilizations, and is not about projecting onto others your belief system. It is meant to learn: not to teach.
the answer is this: it has to be like that, for others to be.

Looking at it from the same angle of the pyramids and other megalithic sites... just because the people lost their language or need to build such things getting lost over time doesn't mean they weren't built by people.
The not knowing takes an illogical dissociative leap and says it must be: Aliens! dun! dun! dun!... of course the inside joke would be the US term "alien" or basically anything or anyone not from the US is considered "Alien" so yeah those things not in the US then "made by aliens" is obvious.
If they are applying the same meaning as in we don't know the number of that bus as in "alien" that quite possibly is the case in an actual logical leap simply based on how all else not US defense department is "alien"
however not all pilots/crew have the same classification of secrecy so then is it's not alien it's need to know and you didn't see anything.
Of course this is where military likes to be a bunch of schlubs on each other as it were truly funny... to look unprofessional and stupid whether one is retired or not.
Exactly! Same can be said for “fast movers”. This suggests to me that it is known, it’s need to know, it’s of great importance and whatever we do know about it is certainly not being shared broadly.
That could very easily mean earthly or non-earthly tech. I’d bet even people who are aware of the programs might only be aware of that the programs exist and have maybe only 10% of the whole story and that 10% is the least important or sensitive party.

Lastly, I’m pretty sold on the notion that “defying the laws of physics” isn’t how this works. We work largely with the laws of physics but utilize technology to eliminate or minimize the effects of matter and gravitational force.
It’s like when people say “Anti-gravity”. It’s not “anti gravity” but rather a mechanism that can offset or minimize gravitational effects. Gravity is still there it’s just being worked with to produce what most consider “anti-gravity”.
Ironically, I have little faith in broader humanity sometimes but I do think that some really smart humans with a really unlimited budget could figure out some amazingly futuristic things.
