“my priors against aliens are high” → “no aliens” → “no need to do anything” is bad
The priors against aliens should be indeed high, but there could be many other hypothesis which generates observation of objects which looks like alien crafts, and some of them are
interstellar animals similar to chameleons which poorly mimic anything they see
lobotomized nanotech-based berserkers trying to stop AI development
interdimensional tourists and hobbists
glitches in GPT-9 where we happened to live as half-activated patterns
effects of distorted observation in consciousness-causes-collapse interpretation quantum mechanics
psyop war between US, Russia and China, similar to number stations.

All of those options would also be very interesting to find out of a public investigation.
