But this is the same world where vaccines cause everything bad, so I'm not surprised.

Because when the media says "UFO" most people instantly think of Aliens. When a UFO can be a space ship, plane, balloon, frisbee, etc.

There's no "would of", "should of" or "could of".

The aliens had the tech to get to Earth, but didn't have the tech to avoid a rocket. Makes sense to me.

Replicators and Borg can be defeated by lowtech firearms because they are so lowtech.

The Sleestak were just riding some pterodactyls up out of the center of the earth. Sheesh, man... aliens?!? Rein in your fantasies, dudes!

Rockets are human made. Maybe the aliens thought we were sending them something... like a letter in a capsule.

Because this is all part of the aliens diabolical plans. Send structurally weak objects into our atmosphere, we destroy them and blame each other.

Why waste the resources of their galactic planet destroying beam when we could just wipe ourselves out?

Wake up people!

This.

All they have to say is "They are balloons of some kind, but we aren't sure which country launched them". Instead, they are saying shit like "They could be anything, including aliens".

What if they are Von Neumann probes?
