It seems like, having a very advanced interstellar species studying us, is just too good to be true. I will hold. that it a software glitch, or some anaomalous thing, like a speck of seagul poo hanging on to a camera lens/screen/semiconductor (whatever the mil tech is?). Last, would not The Donald have been crowing about 'breaking the elite's science boycott blackout about advanced ETI as an October surprise?" Ticket to the 2nd term, get outta jail free card, etc??

You're just illustrating a bias, which has no place in a scientific discussion. You have no idea what they might look like. But if they're here, they could roughly have a form like us, in order to cope with the gravity level. IOW, bipedal. AG Never fear, Don-the-Con t'Rump has said he wants to give the UFO issue a serious look. I am sure from an executive level this will have the same scientific expertise he applied to the Covid pandemic. LC And the relevance of this comment is what? AG > they haven't had enough time to visit us Nonsense, they've had plenty of time. The Earth has been around for about 4.2 billion years, and our technological civilization has only been around for a few hundred years at best. So it takes a really long time for this level of evolution to come into existence. If you extend this to the galaxy as a whole, there might be very few intelligent civilizations and they're likely very far apart. Generally, I agree with Brent on this issue, and that our sampling is so far insignificant.
