Its a not a distraction, ffs. We are on the cusp of releasing new tech and travel abilities.. and yall want to call it a distraction... good greif. This is saving scientist and forcing Aerospace industries to cone out and promote advanced travel capabilities.
Well, unless you capture one of these objects and learn how it does it, knowing they exist will teach us nothing. I don’t think just knowing they exist speeds up anything.
If we get an object in hand and see what it does now you’re moving. Without that, not so much.
IMO, the subject isn't as much the distraction, the timing is. This wasn’t just discovered 3 days ago. Some of these films are old. Unfortunately, speaking distraction will soon evolve intp politics, which is what I think the word distraction suggest.
The subject itself is captivating for sure. Will we learning anything, I doubt it. Unkess you catch one, which is doubtful.
There may not be any life on them, it could be their form if AI to do the travel. A machine can take that, a living thing, maybe not.
Right now imaginations are cranking, facts not so much
