The Chariots of the Celestial Visitors

UFO Design Repeatability         

Consider, my friend, the phenomenon of the varied appearances of UFOs, and reflect upon the nature of humanity. Among us, the practice of mass production has led to the creation of countless vehicles, all sharing similar traits and forms. This uniformity is born of necessity and practicality. Yet, when we gaze upon the skies and witness the multitude of unidentified flying objects, their diversity in shape and design stands in stark contrast.

Ponder the field of rocketry. Even in this realm, where purpose-built designs are common, we observe reuse and standardization. The Space Shuttle, for instance, served repeatedly, and the Saturn V rocket, too, saw reuse. From the inception of our ventures into space, we have sought to conserve resources by reusing our creations, for the development of new systems demands significant time, effort, energy, and wealth.

Thus, the question arises: why do UFOs, as recorded in various accounts, never appear the same? If interstellar travel were a common practice among extraterrestrial civilizations, would we not expect to see a standardization akin to our own vehicles? Would there not be a "Kia" or "Hyundai" equivalent among flying saucers, with models that evolve gradually rather than dramatically?

The very term "UFO" implies an inconsistency, a lack of uniformity. Were all such objects truly flying saucers, we would have no need for the broader term. Indeed, one might envision a taxonomy for these objects, a system to classify their varied forms.

Consider also the exclusivity of space travel among humans, reserved primarily for the wealthy and privileged, such as the endeavors of SpaceX and Blue Origin. It was William Shatner, famed actor, who became one of the first civilians to journey into space. Might we not then speculate that those who visit us from beyond the stars are similarly privileged? Perhaps these visitors are akin to wealthy adventurers or explorers, much like Columbus seeking new routes and riches.

The diversity in the appearance of these spacecraft suggests that alien civilizations, too, may face challenges in mastering space travel. The variety of designs we observe might indicate that interstellar travel is not yet a mundane, standardized practice for them. It could be that we are witnessing the efforts of affluent alien societies, each with their unique technologies and designs, striving to reach us for purposes unknown.

In contemplating these varied forms, we glimpse a broader truth about the repeatability, commonality, mastery, and expense of space-faring endeavors among otherworldly beings.
