Some cephalopods are able to fly through the air for distances of up to 50 metres (160 ft). While cephalopods are not particularly aerodynamic, they achieve these impressive ranges by jet-propulsion; water continues to be expelled from the funnel while the organism is in the air. The animals spread their fins and tentacles to form wings and actively control lift force with body posture. One species, Todarodes pacificus, has been observed spreading tentacles in a flat fan shape with a mucus film between the individual tentacles, while another, Sepioteuthis sepioidea, has been observed putting the tentacles in a circular arrangement.

The only thing that stopped them from becoming a dominate species like humans is their short lifespans.
They don’t live long enough to accumulate and exchange complex information.
We could have an underwater squid society if they just lived a couple years longer so they’d start seeing a benefit from increased lifespan and start selecting for it.
It’s why aliens coming to earth is so far fetched. It’s not just “life” being out there, it’s hitting a bunch of conditions so certain necessary traits are selected for, then the species living long enough to develop and sustain interstellar travel.
All while being in Earths local commuting distance.
didn’t the pentagon come out a few years ago saying there are 'ufo’s that are not US or other known nation’s. There are lots of possibilities that are not aliens from other plants but then again with some time a race could learn to use technology to live thousands of years naturally right?
They’ve been saying that for decades…
For so long that they were able to say
Nah, that was us, we couldn’t say anything till the SR-71 Blackbird was declassified tho
Why would you assume that when they say next:
But this new thing definitely isn’t us
That it’s not the same thing?
Hell, you’re operating under the assumption they’re actually things.
The stuff where pilots say “nothing can move like that” is usually from some trick of perspective because they’re flying faster than the speed of sound and trying to look at something at a weird angle.
Like, something from another planet that flew here is like a 0.00000000000000001% chance.
It would be more likely to be a civilization from the center of the Earth, time travellers, something from a parallel universe…
All that stuff is also incredibly unlikely and not what any of those are. But even fucking Jesus coming back and flying around is more likely than aliens flew here through space.
Especially considering they had to fly here without us ever finding any evidence except these few videos.
If they could hide coming here, they wouldn’t have any problem hiding once here.
And if they were gonna let us catch glimpses for this long, they’d have said what’s up by now.
