Yes, one has to wonder why flying saucers, quite a blatantly unusual-looking aircraft to be “secretly” investigating another planet with, would be an advanced alien race’s go-to vehicles. Truly, they probably wouldn’t be very efficient! The U.S. government once tried to develop a real-life saucer-shaped aircraft (the Avrocar), but it didn’t perform very well and the project was cancelled. So I guess it’s no wonder the aliens’ flying saucers always crash-land in those stories! That being said, I have a couple model flying saucers sitting on the desk in front of me as I type this, anyway.
There has indeed been speculation about whether past or present microbial Martian life could be possible as a result of the traces of water found there, and I would love to see that discovery happen someday! The implications would be amazing!
I also don’t see why microscopic life couldn’t be transported through the universe via celestial bodies such as meteorites. If evidence of life did show up on Mars in the future, one would have to wonder if it was at all related to our planet’s life forms by some such means.
As for the state of human affairs these days…well, I can’t really put it any better than you already did.
