I've been thinking a lot about the recent UFO sightings, and l've come to a strange suspicion: why do we expect alien crafts or beings to resemble anything we can comprehend? Why would their technology or form look similar to ours, or even function in ways we understand, like flying throug the air?

Flight, while impressive, seems almost too simple for a civilization that may be far more advanced than us. So why should they even need to mimic our concepts of technology or structure? Are they attempting to make themselves relatable to us, or are we just projecting our own limited understanding onto them?

Maybe we're approaching this all wrong. What if aliens aren't physical in the way we are, or their existence doesn't even require them to be tangible in a way we can see or touch? Perhaps their technology isn't based on flight at all, or maybe they aren't trying to "mimic" us. What if we're seeing them through a very human lens, expecting their craft to be ships in the sky or beings with humanoid forms?

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if we're limiting ourselves by assuming these entities need to fit into the parameters of our world at all. What if they are trying to communicate with us in a way we simply cannot understand? It feels like we might be missing the bigger picture entirely. Just my 2 cents….
