(9,213 posts)While I'm not one to say interplanetary travel is impossible, the idea of aliens kissing their family goodbye and launching and flying in the way us humans understand those concepts, doesn't make sense in the realm of space where distances are measured in LIGHT years to travel from one place to another, and even if you could travel at the speed of light it is still taking multiple tens of years to even get to the closest stars. Even if they had the technology to travel those distances, how would they even know we are here when any visual or radio bursts they get from us would have been traveling for decades as well.
IF there are alien visitors visiting us in UFOs, my guess is that it is through other dimensions or even through some sort of portal they have discovered that connects us through some other means that we aren't aware of yet.
We know a lot about the universe from our human understanding, and in the context of the knowledge we have gained over 10,000 years of being an intelligent species, but we probably realistically only have 1/100 of a comprehension how all of that works. We are still at the basic concept level of how to travel 300,000 miles away safely, and for the most part we are stumped how to take that to the next level.
Plenty more reasons but none we will have answer to in our lifetime or the next 100 earth life times.
