I think I can assume from here that there aren’t any aliens, because they would NOT be touching this for a cheap distraction if there was anything of note to see.
Better be a sex offender registry on those damn space ships

Oh i don’t doubt its aliens, just… microbial. Literally nothing major to speak of, single celled organisms.

That would be a humongous world-changing announcement in a sane timeline. Half the people in our stupid culture wouldn’t even register it as a blip though.
In situations like this I like to think of the history students a thousand years from now, assuming the earth is still habitable, etc.
“So humanity’s first public recognition of extraterrestrial life only happened when it did to distract from the fact that the Big Country at the time had reelected the planet’s worst person AGAIN and they needed to delay justice until they died for… let me double check the text… they needed to delay getting in trouble for being at the top of a global human trafficking and rape operation?
And I am supposed to believe these people had running water, airplanes, internet, and space programs? They lied about every other damn thing!”

Why would they classify that information if its just microbial? The motivation for classification is clear if the aliens are flying around in UFOs (so they can reverse engineer their tech without adversaries of the US finding out) but there is no realistic motivation for why they might classify microbial life

That’s still infinitely more extraterrestrial life than we have proof of today

Yeah this is devastating news for UFO enthusiasts. Even the craziest alien conspiracist probabky understands and identifies when Trump is wriggling like an eel

There are no sex offenders in space, because in space, noone can hear you scream.

idiot country. A few years ago I needed many more words to describe it. These days this suffices

We (the US) really are a shithole country.

What annoys me is that all he basically said was that he believes in the Drake Equation. Not that we have encountered aliens or have definite proof of their existence; just that with how big the universe is and how much diverse life exists on this one rock, there’s no way there isn’t life elsewhere on other rocks somewhere.

But we don’t know all the variables for the Drake equation! It’s still possible that we’re alone in the observable universe.

At this point a real alien could come down the sky and people wouldn’t give a fuck. Hard to care about aliens when you are homeless and starving
