Why haven't extraterrestrials made their presence known?

Whatever they turn out to be, they are fascinating phenomena.
The issue is complex. However, this photograph was actually released by NASA in a YouTube video:

My speculation is that it is a flying saucer being charged by the sun's plasma.
That could be. Any or all of those possibilities might be correct. The universe, IMO, is teaming with life.

It's quite possible that a group of extraterrestrials has a space probe on the way right now. Our modern civilization began relatively recently (i.e. a time when this probes arrival would be photographed and announced around the world instead of completely misunderstood for something else), and it could take centuries for a probe to travel that distance.

I agree with a retired U.S. Army major. He said that political officials won't discuss it until they feel they can do so without panicking anyone.
Still, as I say in my book, the governmental issue is, IMO, irrelevant. I reject the militarization of flying saucers as “UFOs.” They are just ships of beings. Earthly governments have nothing to do with them.

The government can't even even cover up a 3rd rate burglary. It brought down an administration. There is no way they could cover up something the scale of 911 or aliens. If aliens wanted us to know they are here, they would be capable of it and there is nothing the government could do about it.

Funny, isn't it? All these supposed sightings and not one shred of physical proof. How many people have seen bigfoot or ghosts? Or talk to God?
Number of UFO sightings that have turned out be hoaxes, misidentification, or other types of stupidity: thousands, perhaps millions
True.
Number of UFO sightings that have turned out to be aliens: absolute zero.
That's really all that needs to be said on the subject.
False.
While no actual Aliens have ever been contacted or observed, there are a few very important cases of unidentified flying objects to which there is no mundane or terrestrial explanation yet these things most definitely WERE actual vehicles.
Sharokhi 1976
Belgium 1989(an object matching the description had been seen and photographed in 1968)
Illinois 2000(exactly like the object seen over belgium)
And also........There is the unsolved disappearance of Frederick Valentich over Shark Bay, Australia in 1978.

I think you're going to need to show us evidence that these incidents were of actual extra-terrestrial craft. I don't believe it. Also, some UFO's could simply be sightings of top secret military aircraft like the ones reported near area 51.

This is an official report about the one near Tehran in 1976
Now if this is indeed a top secret military craft, what is the evidence that said explanation is true?
I will get back to you , Jono, about the Belgian UFO incidents that occurred in late '98 and January '90 when it comes to the documentation. The thing about that object is that it was not only seen by several thousand eyewitnesses, but it was detected by NATO radar stations and elicited a military response: 2 F-16s were scrambled to intercept this object. Not only did this thing have apparent stealth capability, but it traveled at supersonic speeds. Supersonic stealth technology did not exist back then! Yes there was already stealth, but all stealth aircraft at the time were exclusively subsonic.

Where is the evidence that it is aliens? That's the thing, every time something is unexplained you automatically say it is aliens. That is not proof. There is no proof of aliens. None.

Area 51. Hangar 18. Cue up the Twilight Zone theme.

Area 51 exists, it just has nothing to do with aliens as the conspiracy theorists would have you believe. The USAF has admitted there is an air force base in the area:
