I believe this is arguable. Something like an Alcubierre drive, for example, is theoretically possible under general relativity but would rely on the creation of exotic matter. We can't make any of this work, now, but that doesn't mean that in some future world of unified theory it couldn't be made to work.
You also would have to acknowledge that just because superluminal travel isn't possible, now, that doesn't mean that very high speed subluminal travel isn't. There are over 100 stellar systems within 40 light years of Earth. And, of course, there's time dilation...
Many years ago transatlantic travel by steamship was thought to be impossible because the amount of coal needed to make the trip would sink the ship!
It’s possible there are other life forms but they may not exist during the same timeline. If the universe truly goes on forever in time, Humans have only existed for 400,000 years, the analogy is like if the universe was born on New Year’s Day, today is midnight 1 year later, humans started to exist at 11:59:59 on Dec 31st .... it’s likely other civilizations came and long destroyed themselves or each other in the time before humans.
Are we really that advanced? Look around. We still build our houses out of wood and clay, just fancier designs than cavemen. Our infrastructure, roads and power and telephone lines, are made of rocks, and trees standing up out of the ground. The bottom 30% of humanity lives in huts or tiny villages still. We are no where “advanced”

Yeah, it made no sense to me either. To the point where if it wasn't a released video I would've assumed it's bogus.
Not smart enough to interpret from the screens what speed they were traveling or altitude, but could they be civilian or military drones?
there are plenty of cell phone videos of UFO's out there now..... most of them are just lights in the sky, some making very unusual moves, etc, but many would be tough to explain away
if you were to watch "paranormal caught on camera"
they usually have at least one per episode...
I don't remember exactly but I think the heading was at the top of the HUD - so I think that would indicate the degree or number of of the circles executed.
You probably are remembering the thoughts of the late Stephen Hawking who believed collecting intel and staying quiet would be the best way to approach such a situation:

There's an awful lot that has to go right for intelligent life we would recognize to get a start and hang on. I think there's a few out there but not many. As for plants animals and bugs and stuff, I think that stuff is likely just about everywhere. Seems the building blocks of life are common in space. As far as crazy types of intelligent life - who knows because who knows what their environments would be like.
We keep a broom in the car when it snows as it makes it much easier to brush snow off the car when you're parked somewhere. I sometimes tell my better half: "Hey, it's emergency transportation if you break down!"
In H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the alien attack only to get wiped out by common earthly diseases. Maybe Covid saves the species.
Because all religions were created by humans, for humans, with basically zero knowledge of the workings of the universe.
Science has demonstrated that a creator is not necessary to have a universe, or multiple universes.
And although we haven't figured out the origin of life on earth, it seems likely that life is an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics and chemistry.
Religions were created out of ignorance. We are curious animals that seek answers and problem solve. One of the consequences of that is when we can't find the answer to a big question, we tend to invent one that puts us center stage - i.e. religion.

You seem to have great faith in this random alien landing here and explaining to you all of the mysteries of the universe.
He may be hoping for you to do the same for him.
Any beings capable of traversing the immensity of space and time wouldn't even notice us while they take whatever they want and moved on....
This is a good point. At the extremes (very small, very fast) the laws of physics start to break down and contradict themselves. There is a lot we still don't know.
Regardless, chalk me up as an ET skeptic. I think they are probably out there, somewhere. Just not here.
Yeah aliens are going to master interstellar travel so you can convert them to a two thousand year old religion (based mostly around other older parables). Makes sense. They’ll be like “he walked on water?!?!?! That’s amazing...oh wait we just traversed the known universe.”
Made me think of this quote
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C Clark
If I had to guess, I think “aliens” are inter-dimensional beings.
And I bet they already know who God is since they are most likely demons anyway.
Lots of, uh, interesting things I've learned about some posters in this thread
Seems like most people’s gods are big and powerful enough to make more than one world.
One of us has made a career in science. You've repeatedly demonstrated you'd flunk middle school science. I'd be glad to put together a nice reading list for you. Let me know.

Or they could simply convince the vast, vast majority of humanity, gullible as it is, that they were the true gods, worthy of worship and sacrifice and obedience. We would be easy pickings in so many ways.
But I don't worry about these sorts of things, as it is highly probable that we exist in a simulation, or stack of simulations, in any case.
