UFO Sightings

I don't understand what the motivation would be for aliens to come and just kind of cruise around in the upper atmosphere decade after decade, never talking to anyone or doing anything of any consequence. I feel like we have spy satellites, you know, and so if aliens wanted to gather information about Earth, they could do it. If they have interstellar technology, presumably they and they didn't want to be noticed,. presumably they could gather all the information they needed, needed without entering the atmosphere. It's just it's very, very strange. But yeah, again, we did we did what we were asked to do. It was it was a trip. Say that it was a Trip.
