The Government said we live in a world in which a simple sugar-based candy propelled rocket launched from Gaza can hit a building in Tel Aviv, no matter how advanced your technology is. That's what the government said.

Sure, there is a lot of debate inside the IC. But I'm sure you know it has to do with other 'objects' and incidents, and not the ones called UAP. Not everything 'alien' has to do with UAPS...

Shouldn't we prove that off world aliens exist first, much less intelligent ones, before we say they have advanced technology? That seems like an intelligent task first.

I think the question is just the opposite: can you tell me where in the report the government states at least one UAP is of extraterrestrial origin?
To be honest, the Government also said it would have wished the objects to be alien, but they are not.
Liers? Why? They only state they saw things they don't understand. That's not a crime. Nobody is an expert in everything as to be able to discern natural phenomena from man-made ones. To err is human.

I haven't read the actual UAP report yet, do they ever talk about attempting to communicate with them?

The most obvious explanation is that we are seeing experimental man made crafts, a warp drive craft would have all the abilities you described. I have shown in previous threads that there's virtually no chance aliens could have detected our presence and traveled to us in the small time we've been releasing radio signals into space even if they had FTL warp drives. You could argue they've been here all along for thousands of years, but I also don't think they would travel many light years just to slink around our atmosphere without making contact, and we see no evidence of hyper advanced civilizations in the universe. However I don't necessarily think humans have discovered a way to build warp drive yet because it's very complicated. Which leads into a more complex set of questions, like what happens if humans do find a way of warping space-time at some point in the future.
Why UFO's are man-made
I respect your opinion here and in your prior post.
I do disagree for the same reasons many others do. I think there's a difference between possible massive technological advancements of our own, and what we are seeing here.
In our society today we are updated almost immediately every time CERN makes a new discovery. The world's too scientists are regularly on podcasts, and YouTube. They have blogs and websites. We have reporters crawling everywhere on a 24 hour news cycle. They not only talk about their research now, but they publicly theorize about thinks they think might be able to one day happen with future tech
I'm not sure with how familiar you are with the data, but it seems like some of the stuff were seeing isn't even wildly theorized, nor do we have the basic building blocks to accomplish.
Some craft have been viewed to instantly materialize and dematerialize right in front of people.
Some craft have been recorded on video, AND radar traveling at 54,545mph
I believe the fastest thing we've ever created in our atmosphere is an ICBM missile returning to earth, and that is 18,000mph, and that isn't really controlled flight at that speed more like a gravity assisted aimed dart with rocket boosters.
So we're talking literally 3x the speed of the fastest object we've ever created in our atmosphere, without being on fire, exploding, and having the ability to stop in a dime.
We're still buying and building Jet engines man.
We have a multi billion dollar space industry with the greatest scientists admitting they are lost in the realm of propulsion within our atmosphere that isn't chemical fuel, or electromagnetic.

Not thus far in this thread, though do you mean from the future or dwelling unseen on earth alongside us?

Man had the ability to fly at 10,000 miles per hour in our atmosphere without creating a sonic boom, can turn a 90 degree turn at that speed, has no visible means of propulsion or wings whatsoever....even before the microchip was invented?
Why is it possible for aliens to design such a craft but not humans? You clearly didn't take the time to read the thread I linked or the logic behind my arguments. Like I said, a warp-drive can achieve all these things by warping space around the craft rather than move through space. Whether or not you believe some secret project has managed to build such a drive is another question. The more important question is, what will happen if we do manage it.
You have not even the slightest clue what an alien civilization a million years ahead of us would be capable of.
But I know what the limits to the laws of physics are. There are very clear laws which tell us why traveling even close to the speed of light is virtually impossible, and a warp drive is one of the very few loopholes which might allow us to get around those limitations, but they still have a wide array of very difficult problems that need to be solved before it will be possible.
