This just seems like a psyop that the DoD is using to justify more funding for the Space Force and/or Skunkworks projects.

I don't understand. What exactly is the U.S. trying to distract everyone from?
The crumbling state of the empire, perhaps. "Hey we know you can't afford to have kids or healthcare and homelessness has risen like 500%, but LOOK, ALIENS!!!" Same thing with the "woke" culture war shit. It gets the working class riled up about something other than their real problems.
If deem aliens show up, I just want them to take me away from all this.
Yes of course aliens always go around littering their technology on planets of sentient life, it's their most favorite activity to do.
As an alien myself from the planet zorbmorb, I have personally traveled a million light years to this planet just so that I can throw away my super advanced technology into the hands of the USA specifically then immediately leave without a word. It's a pretty fun hobby for me and many others of zorbmorb
Not to defend the gits in question, but I've always been partial to the so-called "roadside picnic" concept, coined by the Soviet writers Arcady and Boris Strugatsky:
In their book "Roadside picnic" (later poorly adapted to movie "Stalker", and later mutilated beyond recognition into a series of video games), the characters are dealing with a site of apparent alien visit, which left behind a whole treasure trove of strange artifacts and anomalies. The original purpose of the artifacts, as well as the nature of the aliens and their visit remain a mystery. One of the characters, a scientist suggests the eponymous theory:
Imagine taking your family on a road trip. You stop by s roadside to take a break, have a little picnic. Afterwards you drive away, never to return, leaving behind leftover food, trash, general traces of your presence. Then the animals come out of the woods and observe your "visitation site" with shock and awe.
Interesting concept
Might be just a chinese built aircraft. Crackers don't consider non-whites human.
...Hmm? Oh please don't mind me, I am just waiting for the mandatory Posadas reference.
