This is a thread that starts with assumption and ends with a way to falsify a subset of UAP/UFO explanations.
If we assume that there are non-terrestrial manufactured craft in our atmosphere, just observing and not interacting, it suggests some type of remote probe. For a civilization from another star system, including those that are just a series of Von Neumann Probes exploring the cosmos automatically... Why would Earth get ALL of the screen time?
What I am suggesting is that if we assume there are remote probes flying around Earth's atmosphere, observing Earth... Wouldn't we want to see if these things are flying around other planets and objects of interest in our solar system?
How much do we look at the sky of Mars, or a place like Titan? Surely remote probes would be interested in these bodies as well, right?
I wager that if we look for UAP's around other bodies in our solar system, and we don't find them, they are strictly an Earth based phenomena, and that fact may rule out an extra-solar hypothesis entirely.
What do you think /sci/ ? There is a subset of thought that Earth WOULD be the only thing probes would consistently observe, because of it's life signs, but surely other bodies in this solar system would get a once over, at least?
