Probably one of the most fascinating possible solutions is actually older than the paradox itself. Russian astronautics pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky implicitly mentioned the question in an unpublished manuscript. His solution is now known as the "zoo hypothesis". His theory suggests that alien civilizations exist, but they won’t contact us until we are ready to be contacted, leaving us to our own devices yet keeping an eye on us.
This idea clearly echoes in the minds of many when talking about UFOs. Many argue that alien sightings are just a way for these advanced civilizations to keep a non-too conspicuous eye on our planet. Many official investigations, such as Project Blue Book, have come to the conclusion that no UFOs were a threat to National Security – definitely in favor of the "good watchful aliens" idea. At the same time, the reports concluded there was no evidence that UFOs were actually extraterrestrials.
