It amuses me that they get caught on VHS flying around clumsily, but no one's ever seen anything out in space. How did they get into the atmosphere? Not one telescope on the planet can spot ships flying towards the planet

Actually there have been numerous videos of unknown flying objects in space. Where did you get the idea that there were none?

Other than Oummammua (or however it's spelled) name one that even remotely resembles a ufo

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well I certainly don't know what their names are, but here is a video from NASA that shows a UFO in space.

I can believe it when we can barely manage to spot an asteroid heading in our direction before it's basically whizzing past us

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you mean the 34 thousand plus near earth objects that NASA monitors every day? Those "barely managed to spot"?

Never said they track everything.
There's no aliens buzzing around though.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You implied we could see everything with telescopes, we can’t even see everything with the tech nasa employs.

Maybe, maybe not, doesn’t change the fact that we’ve missed lots of stuff that’s hit or missed earth despite your asinine claim we don’t miss anything.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I never said we don't miss anything. How stupid are you? If all you want to do is nitpick bullshit go bother someone else.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

You’re relying on the absence evidence to say something isn’t possible.

I provided proof that we don’t see everything, which is proof that it’s not impossible.

It may be nitpicking, but it’s the words you said. Don’t want to be corrected, don’t say incorrect shit dude lmfao.
