    Yeah, I get that there could be some hypothetical race of beings so far beyond our comprehension they might as well be magic…but, again…I don’t see a species that advanced being so incompetent as to continually crash into the broad side of a planet…or get shot down by our military (which would be like a caveman throwing rocks at an F35).

      One of the weirder theories that explains crashes is that the aliens are smuggling human artifacts, which is illegal in their society and at least some of them use ships that can barely make the trip, due to limited resources of their criminal enterprises.

      There is no hard proof available about any crash, there is even less evidence that a supposed crash would an accident.

      Its very reasonable that a advanced society would test humanity by throwing some old rubbish at our planet to see if we are smart enough to understand or copy it after x-time.
