#1 If they have any intelligence they would just bypass this group of fools down here

#2 Based on this, Elon Musk and his Starlink are a more likely story:

Low Earth orbit satellites are much closer to Earth, which solves many of the speed and latency issues satellite internet is known for. For example, to reach a Starlink satellite in low Earth orbit, data travels a mere 200 or 300 miles, which is a far cry from 37,000.

The ISS:

The ISS is currently maintained in a nearly circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 370 km (230 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (290 mi), in the centre of the thermosphere, at an inclination of 51.6 degrees to Earth's equator.

#4 I'm calling bullshi* and simple media diversion, until I actually see one of these vehicles in the Chic-fil-A drive-up.

#8 How does ISS dispose of toilet waste?

Actually saw a video from an ISS astronaut a while back. They expose it to the outside to freeze it then pack into modules launched back to earth so it burns up on re-entry. He joked about the beautiful meteor-like vison and the "$hit show causing the Light Show" - my words

#10 If extradimensional entities of profound wisdom want to observe us (or even live among us), I am quite sure they have ways to do this that the rest of us are not even capable of imagining. "Visible hovering UFOs" do provide entertainment value, I must say.

#11 "Hovering" near an object in orbit suggests either dirty windows, or debris shed from the station.

#12 We get clear pictures of stars and galaxies millions of light years away but nothing but blurry pictures of UFOs, Bigfoot and Lockness monster just a few miles away.

#13 /\ Yes, and no mention of communications intercepts. Perhaps they use flags or something.
