Well I guess we have solved why the universe is silent. i.e no evidence yet of intelligent life
Certainly not explicit evidence of intelligent life, but the UAP situation makes me wonder. I have compiled a tremendous amount of evidence supporting the claim that UAP/UFO are real intelligently controlled objects. Once again, because often people cannot separate the two, this does not prove aliens are real/that is not my argument.
The sources of information are all legitimate and you can verify them for yourself. I sourced the actual government documents from the National Archives. There's no debating the authenticity of the documents. I also included bipartisan quotes supporting the topic, including Schumer and AOC. There is also verified goverment footage of UAP.
For the people whose first instinct is to mislabel me as a crackpot and ignore the link: If you are so sure of yourself, I challenge you to read it and see if you think I'm crazy. You wouldn't say that about other pieces I write. I'm about to start my Master's in Clinical Counseling. I'm not some wild conspiracy theorist.
The amount of denial to the point where people won't even consider evaluating evidence feels like Don't Look Up.
Edit: This is an excerpt from my post for those who are so sure of themselves to consider:
I admit I had difficulty suspending my disbelief in the possibility of UAP, but there is an important example from history that ought to give the skeptic pause in unilaterally dismissing this subject before reading on. I'm referring to the discovery of handwashing, in which everyone originally rejected the antiseptic procedure and surgeons didn't even wash their hands prior to operation.
Like Semmelweis' research, this subject is being discounted and rejected on the basis of preexisting beliefs; not lack of reasonable evidence or ability to to study UAP. And like Semmelweis, rational individuals and scientists studying this subject are being mislabeled as crackpots, and their research misconstrued to have to do with aliens, rather than the very real phenomenon at hand.
Any intelligent species capable of crossing interstellar space isn't letting their spacecraft be detected by us. The gulf between modern humanity and a species that can cross hundreds, thousands of light years of space is ENORMOUS.
If you read the information in that link, there were crafts in our atmosphere beginning in 1947, which had capabilities that outperform our current (publicly disclosed) most advanced aircraft. The performance capabilities included speeds of thousands of miles per hour, 90-degree turns, instantaneous acceleration, and silent operation.
Many of these sightings around the world were accompanied by radar which confirmed the visual observations. Some have left detectable levels of radiation. All of this is cited in that link. Also in that link is the Nimitz Event, in which a UAP outperformed F/A-18F Superhornets and left the Top Gun pilots shaken.
I'm not stating this is technology from outside our planet. I'm not saying this can't be human technology. Look at Project 1794 in that link. That was the United States Airforce's secret contract to Avro Aircraft to build a literal 'flying saucer' powered by 6 Siddeley Viper turbo-jet engines.
It's important to note, however, that the aircraft from Project 1794 was not capable of the performance capabilities of the UAP/UFO that began being mass sighted around the world in 1947.
So either we have kept aircraft technology so far advanced that it outperforms modern declassified tech secret since 1947, or something else might be responsible.
