    This might add a new wrinkle to the weather balloons. Presumably there is a firewall just beyond our helioplex(?) that rages at 90000degrees Fahrenheit, which is a way whole lot of Kelvin. Unless these aliens can maneuver interdimensional , it doesn’t look too promising.

    If the Voyager probes can pass through the "wall," @Steal Your Face's alien pyramid power plant builders can get their vessels through.

    Once again, I never claimed that the pyramids were power plants.

    The Voyager probes will survive, it's a vacuum there, or a near vacuum. High temperature, almost non-existent heat conductivity. Convection is also nearly non-existent. Similar to why you can put your hand inside a 400 degree oven and it will take a while to burn your hand. Put your hand inside a pot of boiling water and your hand is burned almost instantly.

    This mysterious craft was spotted in Akron, NY, yesterday.

    Yeah, this.

    Heat and conductivity is a lot more important than temperature.

    Beware of the government telling us that they are real. Disclosure will come from citizens, not from the government. So that interstellar object. If the government tries to say it’s real, don’t believe it.

    Right, so the government that you claim has been secretly working with aliens and is slowly trying to prepare people for the fact that we are not alone in the universe decides to tell us that aliens are real, they’re lying.

    I’d ask if you actually listened to what you’re saying, but given that you can’t explain how aliens from a star system that’s 400+ lightyears away and is less than a billion years old could decide that us setting off nukes in 1945 was an important enough event that they needed to show up here a couple of years later, it’s obvious that you’re incapable of doing so.

    Of course I can explain how a civilization 400 light years away could come here. They have FTL drive. Or they don’t and have generational ships. Or they are non biological, meaning drones and therefore can take 400 + years to get here.
    As for the government. No I’m not convinced that they are preparing us for contact. They are never going to tell us anything unless they absolutely have to . They only got ahead of the tic tac because it was being leaked.

    FTL drive doesn't enable them to show up because we set off nukes in 1945, you pillock.

    They would need FTL sensors, because us using nukes in 1945 would take at least 400 years to propagate to them.

    But interesting you can rationalise THIS, but not a slim woman fighting a 200lb man in Trek.

    Okay, now explain how a star that is younger than the Earth was when the first life appeared could have a planet that has life more advanced than us.
    Except that you've claimed in this thread we're being prepared for contact. So who's doing the preparation? The aliens? They wouldn't need to trickle that information over decades.

    Well, not now. Not with your buddy Trump trying to shut down 99% of the government.

    The what? Do you mean TikTok? And by "being leaked" do you mean scientists talking to one another and saying, "Hey, are my instruments out of whack, or do you see this as well?"
