why the fuck are the only alien threads on sci shitty pixels of rocks/ reflections of light or the drake equation / variant of

what about good UFO footage? Even if it's fake, more interesting than this garbage.

Protip: IT'S A ROCK.

I can only prove UFOs are UFOs.

Yet, do we ever see UFO threads on sci?

Nope.

Explain to me why spots on Ceres is acceptable but UFOs are not.

The universe is ~14 billions years old.
The milky way is 100 000 light years across.
This means that if a species left their home planet 200 000 years before we developed the technology to do the same, assuming that they could only travel at half the speed of light, it would take them 0.0002 billion years (200 000 years) to travel the full length of the milky way galaxy and reach Earth.
Similarly, the nearest galaxy to us is 179000 light years away (small magellanic cloud). This would take ~ twice as long to reach us 0.0004 billion years (400 000 years, not accounting for red shift. Moving at half speed of light may have problems traveling between galaxies. Untested.)

Given that the future destiny of mankind, if uninterrupted, is to explore space and form new colonies where it is able to do so (as America is trying to do with Mars already), then it seems sensible that aliens would have reached a similar conclusion. If they are limited by the speed of light and haven't developed anti gravity tech (which they probably have- I postulate that their cloaking device is not only their method of travel, but their cloak and force field too) then I think we can all agree that 0.0002 billion years is a very small amount of time compared to 14.0 billion years (that's only 200 000 years compared to 14 000 000 000 years, a factor of 70 000!) It may be large timescale, but it is nothing on a grand cosmological scale.

I'm confus.
why does /sci/ take small white dots seriously, but not NASA live feed?

I find it hilarious that a little shiny spec on a grey planet thread has lasted 3 days, yet my glorious UFO thread didn't make the hour.
