There are no aliens.
Mankind has made many novel types of aircraft in the last 70 years.
One novel way yet to be fully explored in commercial applications is electrostatic that are NOT Ionocraft.
The atmosphere is a gradient of charge. Earth itself has a negative charge and as you go up into the atmosphere its about 500k positive charge before flipping again in a gradient to negative again in the Ionosphere. These gradients will come in bands.
Like charges repel
Opposite charges attract
Unlike magnets, you CAN have a electrostatic monopole. Why? Because whatever POSESSES electrons in large quantities will have a negative charge. You can have a craft that uses this principle to maintain specific altitude if it can maintain charge without bleeding them into the air.
