The picture at the top is an IR plume from a jet. Guess that doesn't make a very good article. Why would this article be in a "science" magazine?

The article doesn't say that. How can you be so sure from a still image?

Because he once used flew a plane in Flight Simulator 2020 and knows the equipment and IR signatures of various aircrafts better than the pilots who reported this.

It is typical human self-centeredness to assume we are the only sentient beings with the ability to move ourselves around a plane or beyond.

It is also mathematically silly to assume that of all possible beings over current universe timeline that we are the most technically advanced. We have only existed for a minuscule sliver of that timespan.

That’s not to say that we are statistically likely to have been visited, however. But it is possible.

This reminds me to The X-files quote/theme/leitmotif "I want to believe".

I am prone to think that this again some kind of gov mass psychology Rorschach experiment, where they say if we show you this image and if we say it is flying bunny how many times do we need to show and repeat the same until you start believing it is a flying bunny ...

By the way I am not saying other sentient being do not exist in the universe, I am just saying that with that technology you would not give a fork about what humans want/need/wish ... therefore it is more likely it is some kind of political hocus/pocus
