4. UFO simply means "unidentified."

It does NOT mean an extra-terrestrial craft. There is zero, I repeat ZERO evidence that anything from elsewhere has visited our planet.

For one thing, understand that the speed of light is an absolute limit on how fast anything can travel, and suggesting that some vastly more advanced civilization could travel faster is a non-starter.

And even though we are finding planets everywhere, we still have not found anything actually earth-like. For one thing, about 70-80% of the stars in Milky Way are red dwarfs, and are probably not ever going to host an actual Earth-like planet.

They really are ordinary drones. For whatever reason a lot of people are looking up at the sky and seeing them.
