This webpage is my opinion on how ETs may think.
This webpage is an extension of Fermi's Paradox. It is intended to blend with the paradox as a new explorative branch and perspective.
See: Fermi Paradox
Extending Fermi's Paradox, where are the ETs? This web page will explore as a conjecture, similar to the Fermi Paradox conjecture, the psychology, motivations, and cosmological context of ETs.
Note: The items below do not describe the traditional ET motivations such as ETs are exploring the universe, looking for a place to vacation, trying to understand human biology.
If there are interstellar travelers:
They probably will be nonbiological AIs. Cyborgs, organisms that are both abiotic and biotic, may exist and visit earth but must be capable of the time requirements of interstellar travel which may be eons in transit.
They won't crash into Earth as the final segment of their distant LYs journey.
Jinking it up with military or civilian aircraft from Earth, and circling over military installations, may be UAPs making contact with humans.
The erratic, inane, and similar UAP sightings behaviors may be a facade.
UAPs from different interstellar locations should behave in dissimilar ways.
They will be piloted or copiloted by supercomputers.
They won't form a treaty with humans or other ETs to abide by Star Trek's Prime Directive.
They may exist to align humans with an expanded universe/scientific/ethical/religious perspective.
They may exist to show the public that governments have not been honest with them and are not trustworthy.
The ETs are looking for protection against their habitat undergoing a cataclysmic incident. They want to become multiplanetary ETs.

The UAPs are like banderillas in a bull fight.
The UAPs are like computer viruses clogging the behavior of humans.
The UAPs are like sharks striking a glancing blow against a victim to cause bleeding and targeting.
The UAPs are an announcement signal.
The UAPs are like an interface with behavioral "hoops" offering both good and bad.
The UAPs won't land on the WH lawn for the same reason people sitting at a picnic table won't announce to ants that humans have arrived.
The UAPs won't land on the WH lawn because they are probes with their originators waiting for survey results.
The UAPs are presenting a facade of being as smart as a Roomba. Actually, they are probably at least supercomputers if not singularity computers.
The UAPs, contrary to Hollywood UAPs, might not be friendly to humans.
On a 0 to 10 world conquest metric, the UAPs currently get somewhere about 5.

They may exist to show the public that governments have not been honest with them and politicians are pathological liars.

New edits on this web page :
They won't crash into Earth as the final segment of their distant LYs journey.
An ET spacecraft may intentionally crash into Earth or other planets to carry out panspermia, or transmitting to a planet precursors of ET life. The ET objective is to spread ET life, for example a selection of DNA.
The UAPs, contrary to Hollywood UAPs, might not be friendly to humans.
The Navy pilots who encountered ET spacecraft seem to have enjoyed the experience.
It is currently my belief ET spacecraft buzzing military bases is an ET contact message that is not friendly or unfriendly.

Above I wrote:
The UAPs are an announcement signal.
There are two parts to that:
A. Announcement there are ETs on or very near Earth. The announcement is, yes there are ETs and humans are not alone in the universe.
B. Announcement that some or all ET spacecraft demonstrate they can perform aeronautical behaviors that require advanced knowledge of science beyond what is known by human scientists and engineers.
This demonstration, say by the tic tacs, proves to a scientific certainty there is advanced physics beyond Einsteinian physics. SETI scientists often make the argument Eisteinian physics limits the speed of light hence the distances of LYs between stars is insurmountable.
However, tic tacs are factually demonstrating as an announcement signal, there exists advanced physics, beyond terrestrial knowledge, that may indicate travel between LY distances can be achieved. See: SETI's Erroneous Logical Framework.
Summary: An ET announcement signal has at least these two parts: 1) ETs are saying hello to earthlings, and 2) ETs are announcing they know more physics than humans.

UAPs are observed often flying over water. This may be because they need water, or want to demonstrate they can fly both in the air and under water. Another reason may be that flying over water is less threatening than flying over land which is usually more populated than areas of water.

If UAPs have lived in the Navy's “exclusive use” training areas off the US East Coast for centuries they may consider the Navy aviators an invasive species.
Consider Florida's alligators and pythons. As the Florida human population expands, people are incursing into the ecosystem of the native inhabitants.

Some aviators have described UAPs as a cube inside a sphere. That shape may be a communication to humans of Leonardo da Vinci's drawing the “Vitruvian Man".

According to my research, the Havana Syndrome may be caused by an ET. There are no detected shooters for the DEW, likely focused microwaves. I have explained this here: The Havana Syndrome.
There have been more than 1,000 Havana Syndrome incidents with no explanation how they were caused and why they mainly target US diplomats. It is unlikely a state actor would participate in 1,000 incidents given the prevalence of guards and ubiquitous surveillance cameras.
The world conquest metric for ETs probably should be about a 5.

UAPs from an ET civilization possessing singularity computers may decide there is nothing to gain by interacting with other ET civilizations. There may be no facts the singularity computing power needs to know.
See: SETI & AI Singularity.
UAPs may present a facade, interface, adaptor, decorator, decoy, trojan. muleta, proxy, reverse proxy.
The presence of UAPs may be an ET civilization's disclosure mode.
