Ponder it for a second. Even if a some kind of machine or whatever could reach us, across light years of space/time, why would it just happen to crash in the US? And even if it did, do you honestly think something like that could be kept secret? Isn't more likely that we have had some type of nascent tech for a while now that we don't understand the physics behind, like a toddler on an iPad, and these 'whistleblower' people are just assuming it's alien because that feels safer to them than the alternative that the universe is beyond the limit of what humans can achieve? Or maybe China has figured out and we say aliens to make ourselves feel less weak?

billionaire aliens taking a private trip to earth for fun?

too soon?

Yeah I believe that's why they're calling them Unidentified Aerial Phenomena now, because with UFO people tend to think little green goblin

And this will solve that for how long? Typical word game.

let's get a little betting pool going for what the next branding name will be several years from now

UFIA -Unidentified Flying Industrial Asset

For better or worse.

Solved: Cancer, gridlock, state-sponsored hacking, energy challenges

New headaches: Rampant unemployment, more efficient financial markets for the benefit of the wealthy, probably something about killer robots

Our near-future capability changes will either mitigate our currently expanding list of troubles, or they will create additional problems for tomorrow.

It’s gonna be a scary ride, but there’s only one way off the train.

This equipment costs in the ballpark of $500M, and there are three companies in the world that are positioned to fabricate any sort of hybridized microchips to integrate quantum tech with conventional ICs. The leading would-be fabricator is in the hotly contested country of Taiwan.
