With everything going on I'd say it's a distraction. Just like the "mysterious monoliths" and a few other "aliens are real" drops that have been coming from our own (USA) government this year.

I'm not a huge fan of the project blue beam theory, but I have an easier time believing this falls more into that bracket than actual intelligent alien life.

If aliens are benevolent beings then I'd think theyd criticize our current government, and its globalist agenda, and not the masses of people.
