This is the highest profile organization yet that I’ve seen run this story.

    What has me bit skeptical is that would highly advanced beings that can come to our galaxy when we can’t even get to Mars be so incompetent to let primitives like us get a hold of their craft? Surely they’d be able to easily retrieve it from us without raising alarms if they wanted.

    And why just America? Surely if America has a craft then bunch of other countries do too, since aliens just coming to make this an American affair like some hollywood movie is kind of funny.

      Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir has had me thinking about these things lately. This “alien” population would be in a very narrow and unlikely band of intelligence to be intelligent enough to create a craft capable of travelling to Earth but not capable of foreseeing that we would take it. That, or taking the craft isn’t actually a bad thing to the aliens and humanity is somehow of use to these aliens.
