Yes, some of the aliens were offended by exclusion since their method of propulsion technically wouldn't be considered flight, and thus they had to space-fold their way to a safe space on Neptune to recover from the anxiety and PTSD they suffered from being mislabeled.

Unidentified
Anomalous* Phenomena*
is the modern day term used by the US military and intelligence agencies
What does UAP stand for?
UAP stands for "unidentified anomalous phenomena," a catch-all term to describe objects detected in the air, sea and space that defy easy explanation.
The acronym stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena" until December 2022, when the Pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects," as one official put it at the time. NASA and other agencies soon followed suit.
What are UAPs?
By definition, unidentified anomalous phenomena are just that — unidentified. But generally the term refers to objects spotted by pilots or detected by sensors that cannot be immediately explained.
Hundreds of military and commercial pilots have reported UAP encounters. The Pentagon has released several videos in recent years showing some of the objects. Many end up having innocent explanations —they turn out to be weather balloons, drones or small aircraft— while others remain shrouded in mystery.

They "exist" only the in the sense that people see things that they can't identify or explain. That does not qualify as evidence of extraterrestrial craft. The chance that these are spaceships from other civilizations is next to absolute zero.

Newsworthy, barely.
A threat of any kind to anything or anyone, utter nonsense with no basis in any reality.
People have been seeing UFO's for hundreds of years and literally nothing ever comes of it–except some people are very good at exploiting the phenomenon for attention and grift. The UFO enthusiast community is littered with con-men. Things are no different today. -

Anyone making such a ridiculous claim is talking out of their ass for attention. These idiots don't even know what they were seeing and have no evidence-based means of evaluating threats or capabilities.

You make a good point there, but given what was reported, it is far more likely that what they are seeing is just a strange aeriel phenomenon we haven't explained yet rather than any kind of technology–I mean, right now we literally do not have a full understanding of what causes lightning.
I've been following the UFO phenomenon for decades and the evidence is inconsistent with the notion that these are vehicles directed by any kind of intelligent agent.
One of the most commonly reported behaviors, going back hundreds of years, is witnesses to report lights or shapes that float to the ground in a swaying motion similar to that of a gently falling leaf, before they rise again and repeat the behavior. Or the things just alternate between dancing around and hovering.
No one is going to bother building advanced technology vehicles just to do something so completely pointless.
