I've just realised that the narrative regarding UFO capabilities don't actually equate with space travel.

Let's entertain the story that UFOs have been visiting Earth from a distant star, and that these craft have been witnessed in our skies, some even recorded in photo and film.

We're told they're so fast that the technology would revolutionise mankind. It would unlock deep space to us. We could become space-faring.

... except, all the reports and estimations have clocked out at under 20,000kph.

That's 3x slower than Voyager 1, which is still gaining velocity.

To reach the nearest star, it will take Voyager 1 tens of thousands of years.

The technology, even the wildest claims, is utterly worthless beyond this planet, this solar system.

It's similar to the claim that anti-gravity would unlock space travel for us. It wouldn't. The issue remains propulsion. We could launch everything we could into space today, at an enormous cost, and still not be able to reach the nearest star. Doing it all for free changes nothing.

Now, not all the narratives match this, but some of them do. Looking at you, Ross. I think this makes a lot of plain old sense, and it will be an easy way to deduct certain claims from the space. It just doesn't add up to space-traveling capabilities.
