Question: Why do we see so many photos and sightings related to the SpaceX rocket launch but hardly any about actual extraterrestrial spacecraft?
That’s a great question! There are a few reasons why we see so many photos and sightings related to SpaceX launches compared to extraterrestrial spacecraft:
Visibility and Accessibility: SpaceX launches are public events with scheduled times and locations, making it easy for people to gather and watch. The rockets are large and produce visible trails of smoke and light, which naturally draws attention and encourages photography.
Media Coverage: Major space events like those from SpaceX receive extensive media coverage, leading to more documented sightings. News outlets often send reporters and photographers, which helps create a collective awareness and a plethora of images shared online.
Scientific Credibility: SpaceX and similar companies operate within a framework of scientific verification and public disclosure. This means we have reliable information on what to expect during and after a launch, making it easier to document.
Skepticism towards UFOs: While unidentified flying objects (UFOs) do spark interest, there is often skepticism about their authenticity, which can limit serious documentation compared to well-documented space missions. Many “UFO” sightings turn out to have plausible explanations, further stifling genuine interest.
Frequency and Impact: SpaceX launches are frequent, and they capture a lot of public interest due to their historical and technological significance. In contrast, sightings of extraterrestrial spacecraft, if they occur, are not as frequent or well-documented, leading to less visual material.
Overall, the combination of organized events, media presence, and societal interests makes the footage from SpaceX vastly more abundant than sightings of potential extraterrestrial vehicles.
