  1. Be your own moderator
    • Think before you post or comment, and use your common sense about what is acceptable. This is a community space and should ultimately be community-driven. Be the community you want to see here.
    • If you are here because you want to make fun of or grandstand over all of the silly people who believe that UFO/UAPs may exist, you are not welcome. Just block the community and go about your day.
  2. Be Civil
    • No trolling or being disruptive.
    • No insults or personal attacks.
    • No accusations that other users are shills/agents. If you have some kind of evidence of this, please report instead.
    • No hate speech or abusive speech based on race, religion, sex/gender, or sexual orientation.
    • No harassment, threats, or advocating violence.
    • No witch hunts or doxxing.
    • No summarily dismissive comments (e.g. "Swamp gas.").
  3. Posts must be related to UFO/UAPs
  4. Avoid duplicate posts
  5. Link posts should contain the linked content and a submission statement
    • Submission statements should contain a summary of the content, why it is relevant to UFOs, and optionally personal perspectives.
    • For short-form content, such as tweets, include the entire text.

Also why use biological drones for a long journey instead of mechanical ones that are well suited to long hibernations and high radios environments?

That assumes that the biological drones are created before the travel begins. It also assumes that such biological drones are not suitable for long hibernations, while on Earth such species do exist. It also assumes that they only make biological drones or mechanical ones, but not both.

We don't know what we don't know, or how far technology can go, so it doesn't make sense to say "aliens can't do this because we can't" or "because we find it implausible".

It’s just more likely for them to follow the rules of the world as we know them as it is the most parsimonious explanation. In science you have to be parsimonious.

I get where you are coming from, and I certainly agree that it would take a great deal of evidence for any of these more complex explanations to take hold broadly. Concrete quantifiable evidence has been very lacking so far.
