The biggest thing that could help explain if true would be the UFO's tendency to make themselves very scarce when they want to.
Just like a DeLoreon hitting 88 😉

I've always considered time travel to be a one-way trip though, since time is personal, and there are good reasons to think that just thinking
about the past is enough to change it, and any kind of physical travel to the past is bound to screw things up big time no matter what. Your chances
of returning home are nil. So it shouldn't be an issue, but maybe for them it would be.
Yes, it could indeed be a one way trip. Maybe like the first settlers on Mars, a time traveller might be told that these craft will get them there,
but not back again. I personally wouldn’t wanna do that, there’ll always be people that will.
And I think their motivation to not screw up the timeline doesn’t depend on them preserving their return ticket. It could jeopardise everyone -
loved ones - who they’ve left behind in the future.
And besides that there’s there’s the grandfather paradox: If they cause a change that results in that very traveller not travelling back in time,
then how did he?
But if he didn’t travel back in time then he also didn’t change that thing that prevented him travelling back, in which case he will travel back
and do that thing that then prevents him from travelling back... And around loop goes ad infinitum.
But all that being said, these are the puny efforts of a 4-dimensional being (and an Ill-informed one at that) trying to understand activity that
involves further dimensions outside of his experience. Our inability to see a way that this can work doesn’t by any stretch mean that it therefore
cannot work.
To my mind I can certainly see it being possible in a remote-viewing scenario. No idea how, but there may be untapped potential in our innate senses,
or artificially enhanced senses, or purely artificial AI. A way of tuning into sub-quantum wavelengths in which the past still exists (making this all
up, of course).
By that same uber-hypothetical token the wavelength of the present might also resonate in that quantum field, as might the future. Why would the
dimensions of this field play by our 4–dimension rulebook? Perhaps entropy is a tangible medium with chaos and order all part of the same gloopy
soup in which one can freely swim in any direction if they have their water-wings?
I digress... Physical travel and interaction does seem a step beyond our (public) science. But who knows... wormholes, teleportation, or some kind of
holographic projection that can interact. There’s always more than one way to skin an cat (what a horrible saying!).
The
HOW’s are always a pointless pursuit, since current knowledge can always be made moot by the hard work and discoveries of our
descendants. The best question for those not burdened by doing that hard scientific work - questions for casually perplexed and curious such as the
average ATS’er is
WHY. That’s something we have a slim chance of hitting on, even if we don’t realise it at the time.
Time travelers may come back just because they can. If it’s a return ticket then it’s a no brainer -
why not come back? Of course a good
reason to not come back would be potentially jeopardising the existence of the future - their present (the dangers described above). But when did
common sense ever stand in the way of human’s doing anything? Or perhaps History teachers have far more power in the future that they do now and
demand better lecture material 🤓
Maybe the future is really sh|t! Maybe our generation did things, or didn’t do things pm such as stop polluting, outlaw nuclear arms, prevent
pandemics, stop overpopulating.., it’s a long list. Maybe the mission of these travellers is extremely difficult in that they need to tweak our
present to prevent a bad outcome, without effecting our present in a way that prevents the travellers existence (and back to the grandfather paradox).
That would be as ‘
need to know’ as you could possibly imagine. That would make
Disclosure an extremely bad idea. That would make
absolute sense of all the secrecy around UAPs.
But if that were the case then the
why becomes why are they now revealing stuff? Who wants it revealed and what do they a gain. Strangest of
all to the ATS fraternity and our ilk is that those doing the disclosing may in fact be our enemy - screwing with time-space paradoxes with
potentially very f****d up results.
When you’re just a pawn it’s impossible to see the board and easy to misconstrue the chess players mind.
