Direne also made it clear that there is a fear of extinction driving the search.
The time travel and contact aspects. Are you wanting to emulate in practice those things FL alludes to?
The only thing I'll mention is that I am sure I have seen articles on FL that state different extinction dates for humanity. The years 2100, 3100 and 3500 all ring a bell with dates I have read regarding extinction events for humanity withing FL's articles. I can't reference any at the minute though. So take that with a grain of salt.
Assume for a moment, that the human brain is capable of a frequency 'upgrade' allowing us to instantly 'see' these other realities. This would effectively end our current civilisation as we know it, and usher in a new age. Many things may collapse, humanity as we know it would cease to exist, as the physical realm would suddenly be dwarfed by everything around it, but a new beginning would undoubtedly begin, almost immediately.
The way I see it, a portion of humanity doesn't deserve to skip out on the mess it has made of this planet in order to get to where they have the ability to ascend to a better place. Like trashing house after house, it is just bad behaviour.
Maybe those who learned the lesson (which I think is love/connectedness to all things) ascend and the others go around the carousel again.
Then again, perhaps we are a cosmic mistake, finding patterns where none actually exist and placing value in meaningless bright lights in the sky, all with completely scientific explanations whether they break the conventional laws of physics or not.
True forgiveness and unconditional love are both quite difficult to comprehend, let alone put into practice.
Or perhaps it is more philosophical and speaks more to the intent, behind a person's action than the action itself. Regardless, if comprehending and practicing forgiveness and love is this difficult with one's own children, then its scale of difficulty is most certainly much greater, when you consider the possibility, you may need to extend this to complete strangers. Adult and children alike.
“The nature of UFOs can only be discovered by detecting similar patterns in several parallel disciplines. It cannot be defined statically, but is rather something more processual and dynamic.”
You may call them Giselians, if you wish.
But there could also be an inter-dimensional force shaping the weather, playing a long game of terraforming Sol-3.

"Are you asking how far advanced they are? Well, let me put it this way: our entire civilization is based on computer data, data reported as basic binary on-off telemetry, you see, 1's and 0's. We are only recently developing systems using AI data presented as numbers, words, and images. That's where we are right now. Giselians make computations using dreams. See? That far advanced they are."
"Humans are visual creatures. Giselians are blind creatures. We humans owe everything we are to our eyes; our dreams are mostly visual, all of our computing architectures are visually-oriented, image processing is the core idea on which all of our technology is based. Now, the Universe is a dark place; tell me: who is better adapted to survive and explore a mostly dark Universe? We even consider blindness a handicap! No, really we are way far away from even understanding the simplest object their civilization produces."
"We only have Science to study them, but Science, in its most basic aspect, is a belief system. And you shouldn't use a belief system to draw objective conclusions about the world, unless you don't give a damn about Truth."
No need for using 22Na as a positron source, no need to use metamaterials to engineer a positron moderator. This is the closest we've reached to Tired Light II engine. And soon we will be heading to DENIED using a starship propelled with these engines. Of course, we could have invested our time and effort in designing muon-catalyzed cold fusion power plants, but why bother? Why giving the world the opportunity to use a clean, unlimited energy source that would translate into extending the life expectancy of a planet which is doomed anyway?"
"We can reach Mars in just 11 days with a crewed 40 mT vehicle. Actually, we already made it to Mars in 34 days requiring just a few micrograms of antiprotons using the DENIED muon-catalyzed fusion propulsion device. But all the technology you could use for space propulsion we use it to power our underwater facilties. The ocean covers roughly 70% of the earth’s surface and about 80% of that is deep sea. In a disintegrating planet going underwater is a must. That's how we prepare for what's to come.
"Do you remember that one civilization that built pyramids, Stonehenge, the great medieval cathedrals of Europe, the Great Wall of China, and ran a space program called Apollo?It was the same civilization that found its way to a neighboring stellar system some 4.11 ly away from their home planet to just discover the journey changes you and that the journey not the arrival matters."
"Contact will be made in the depths of the ocean. That's the place where you will meet your spacefaring neighbors."
Whose Earth?
God is of no significance from a military point of view; however, religion and faith is. In the same vein, aliens per se are of no defense significance for us, though their presence in our airspace is. No matter how advanced they are in comparison to us, once here they must adapt to our own environment, much as you need to adapt yourself to the variery of operational theaters here on Earth when you go to fight a war. You need neoprene and wetsuits when you wish to explore the creatures living in the depths of the ocean, much as they need their spacecrafts if they wish to explore our world, no matter how aethereal you depict them.
