Gawd was so bored that he created this universe in one of the 7 days, but only made one creature that would one day crawl out of the sea and become us? Pulease.
Elan Musk has built a spaceship and is going to mars in a few years if his plan works. Lots of information on the net.

that there is life elsewhere in the universe, maybe even intelligent life capable of journeying over interstellar distances. Where I get lost is why they would go to so much effort to observe us.

For the same reason you slow down to see a car crash.

Tell me that if you had the opportunity to safely observe a society in early history in tumultuous times, say during the Dark Ages, The Aztecs, etc you wouldn't jump on the opportunity?
I know I would.
I fear that our planet may very well be part of an intergalactic reality TV program, think of a mix of the Kardashians, Real Housewives and the A-Team... (but with lots more blood)
If so, I really need to make friends with the script writer, because my role sucks ass...

Extraordinary evidence. We have a long way to go before the claims of visitors to this planet from other planets become verified.
That being said, one night when I was looking at the stars in Chico Montana, I observed a fast moving object and figured it was a satellite because of its proximity to earth and its relative speed. I followed it and then it literally stopped dead in the sky and started moving in a direction that made it look like it took a sudden left turn. A few seconds later it stopped again and went diagonally in the opposite direction. After one more stop, it took off at an incredible rate of speed and disappeared. My son in law came out of the cottage in time to hear me say, 'what the fuck did I just see?'. I am an atheist, a full skeptic in many ways and continue to be so. But I also know what I saw. Now either it was something not of this earth, or some entity on earth has developed aerial technologies that we are not being told about (something like the plot line of Contact with Jodie Foster... a favorite movie of mine).
As I said... extraordinary evidence.

"Without the right to offend, freedom of speech does not exist." Taslima Nasrin
Having a horrible time getting anywhere on the internet today and am not going to spend forever trying to look for examples but, just to mention, the military has apparently been playing for some time with plasma and nano-tech formations in the atmosphere, trying to form shields or some such thing. Could be another potential consideration for at least some of these oddities, I suppose?

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

I get the feeling they're doing this little PR program to see if they can get more money in their already bloated budget to pay for these programs.
The military budget is already grossly, impossibly bloated. Let them take the money from some other part of their budget. Same goes for Elon Musk another oligarch who couldn't exist without massive taxpayer subsidies. Maybe he should go panhandling at the DOD.
Better we spend our money on single payer Medicare for All.

A truth of the nuclear age/climate change: we can no longer have endless war and survive on this planet. Oh sh*t.
Wow, just watched the video. The entire clip was very interesting. Glad I have my Buck Rogers Ray Gun to ward off any attacks. This gun was one of the things found when my “hoarder” uncle passed away and another uncle went through his estate. The ray gun was up for grabs and we had to drive from California back to Texas via the Extraterrestial highway, Route 375 in Nevada so decided we needed it.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
Sci-fi / futuristic fantasy aside, I’ve been “on board” with
the notion of space colonies since the explorations of the topic in Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog spinoff, the CoEvolution Quarterly.

On a different note, thanks for the video, always nice to see Cenk.
