The earth-like planet kepler-452b and why the visitation hypothesis isn't crazy

According to NASA the exo-planet kepler 452b, is within the habitable zone of it's star, it's rocky, circles it's star in 360+ days, and is slightly bigger than earth. Additionally it's six billion years old

The only aspect left to learn about it is whether it has liquid water or not. This is what the James Webb telescope is for. The odds aren't certain, but the mere fact that a planet within our small observable universe already cuts so close has significant implications statistically given how much bigger the rest of it is

What the james webb will confirm for us is how likely it is to find water and biogsignature gases on a planet within the habitable zone. If it finds any on the three habitable zone planets on proxima centauri. (Which they confirmed to be on their list) Then the odds shoot up even higher for kepler because it's circling a tame sun much like ours instead of an active red giant

Even if we don't find water or bio-signatures the odds for a planet which has our conditions and a civilization which developed like ours--yet is older/more developed is still significant. For example earth is currently is 4.5 billion years old. Homosapiens first emerged 300,000 years ago. Which is barely a blink in the planets timeline. If we were to suppose that intelligent life evolved on kepler, and developed somewhere around the same mark as our planet then they could poses technology that is a good 2 billion years older than ours.

Think of the current day smart phones, now compare it to what your grandparents were using or what you used when you were a child. It's only been a couple of decades and yet look at how much it changed! One could argue that a mere 500 years is more than enough for technology to look unrecognisable to us nowadays so think of what a whole billion could do or two

Suddenly the ridiculous air to water maneuvers UAPs did in the Nimitz incident don't seem too outlandish to believe

TOI-561b is another rocky exo-planet that is close to earth's size. It's the oldest at 14 billion years old. It orbits too closely to it's star for life (as we know it) to survive. However, it poses as an example. A show of how easy it for the universe to create older copies of our old. There is still a lot left to for us to learn and i hope that JWST brings us closer to finding answers to one of the big questions. "Are we alone in the universe?" It almost feels very dumb to ask this now
