So no low exo atmospheric USS’s.



Secondly the UP’s only last 6 minutes in open space, so how can they be free floating and still active? – Either A. they spawn very close to their origin for 6 minutes, B. they are encased in something protecting them.



So my theory is…..



They are somehow Frozen in ice and stuck in either a Comet\Meteor or Asteroids in an Ice Ring.



Has anyone seen a comet\meteor or searched an Ice Ring?
