When it comes to UFOs and aliens, we hear "they are a million years more advanced than us"....but are they really ?
Take a look at past technology.
In 1924, the fastest plane flew around 267 mph and that was a speed record. Commercial planes only flew at an altitude of 3,000 ft.
Fast forward a short 100 years and commercial jets fly 500 - 600 mph at 36,000 ft and we have fighter jets that travel at well over 1000 mph. We look back at all the quaint technology of the past and say "Awww isn't that cute ? "
As early as the 1960s we had the SR -71 flying over Mach 2. That's 2000 mph.
Can you imagine what pilots would think of a F-22 or an F-35 showing up in WW II ?
Look at what we take for granted in our modern world. We routinely talk to people on the other side of the planet with the touch of a few buttons. Can you imagine someone from 1924 coming to our time and going to the movies ?
Or go back and take a phone with you. You couldn't make calls but you could take pictures and video. What would they think ?
What will we be like 100 years from now ? What technology will we have that will make us look back at 2024 and say "Aww, wasn't that cute ?"
Aliens don't need to be a million years ahead of us. All they need is 100 years.

There is a book called "The Cryptoterrestrials" by Mac Tonnies that hits precisely on that point. Tonnies didn't believe that UFOs were otherworldly. He believed they were from another civilization on earth with us, and that they were not that much more advanced than us ... just enough to wow us with some of their gear and what it could do. Worth the read if you come across the book.
Cheers

If you factor in the billions of planets that are considered to be possible life givers, there is absolutely no way to put any lid on how advanced (or not) might be any ETs they may have nourished among them and subsequently sent here on missions of explorations. It is magical thinking to compare us with what is out there, and almost certainly here.

To accomplish the feats supposedly witnessed, and reported, "Alien craft/UFO'S/UAP'S" have demonstrated, if real, would require not only advanced technology, but an entirely revised (and expansive) understanding and exploitation of physical laws on which to base such technology.

Except reports of Tic-Tac or Propane Tank, or Cigar UFO's have been around for a long time. They don't appear to be changing, well some of them anyway, some have changed.
