Some good points and possibilities, but as Enrico Fermi asked, "Where are they?" We should have spotted them by now.Probably.
A civilization that developed a couple billion years ago would have technology would couldn’t fathom. In the vastness of space, even with the low probability, this seems likely to be the case for many multiples of such a civilization. One of them has likely spotted us and watched.
If time is relative then it would seem possible to traverse space in a way that limits the time spent. The only ways we have conceived of the possibility are 1. Traveling beyond the speed of light (thought to be impossible) 2. Puncturing space-time with wormholes 3. Warping space-time. All of these are science fiction, of course, but there’s no reason to suspect there isn’t some other way we just haven’t thought of or won’t for a very long time

I'm open to all possibilities, but I'm still in the camp that believes interstellar travel may be next-to-impossible for even extremely advanced civilizations.
I believe that a great many of the individuals who post on the debate forum are not from this planet.
Agreed.I get that mindset but we’re in our infancy as far as technology is concerned, I don’t know how useful our “answers” actually are
So, you don't believe in "alien tech" that has discovered how to "fold time and space" like the back cover of a MAD magazine, turning light-years into mere minutes ?Yes, we are watching. We're keeping a special eye on arizonawildcat.
Serious answer: No, I do not believe ET's are watching us. I suppose there is a chance that some very far away and highly advanced species has detected possible life signatures coming from Earth, but I wouldn't call that watching us. I don't believe they have visited Earth either. There are just too many insurmountable constraints for interstellar travel, IMO.
The Bible does tell us that we were "created for His pleasure". Or - "“You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.”There's was a South Park episode where life on Earth was a reality program operated by an extraterrestrial network for the enjoyment of their population. But when the ratings went down the network decided to scrap the set. Of course the boys intervened to save Earth. Or the onset of the Trump administration just drove up the ratings.

If the craft are real, they are most likely "umanned". No known life could survive the acceleration or cornering if the videos are real.
I don’t agree that “no known life” could survive the acceleration or cornering because you’re operating with our own paradigm of understanding. Maybe there is tech that could help minimize the g-Forces in such craft... we haven’t even scratched the surface of quantum physicsSo, you don't believe in "alien tech" that has discovered how to "fold time and space" like the back cover of a MAD magazine, turning light-years into mere minutes ?

It is reasonable to assume that 99%+ of all extraterrestrial species are not advanced or highly intelligent, but this thread is about aliens capable of watching us. Aliens capable of watching us would likely be self-aware, intelligent and highly advanced.Why does everyone assume that ET's are from some highly advanced civilization? If there are ET's maybe they’re a bunch of tards.
Do I believe that we've been watched or visited? No on both counts.
