Don't think of them as "crashes"
More of throwing a key into a gorilla cage, seeing what they will use them for.
There are recorded instances of NHI "gifting" fully uncrashed vehicles in military bases.
With alleged 60 species and fertile #NHI politics, some of the crashes may well be fallout from badlands friction.
Also, allegedly, some NHI have lost the tech to build new ships, so some of the crashed vehicles may well be thousands of years old.
Most of #UAP vehicles are not combat units.
Think of them more as space-rowboats and tractors.
And we all know about the spear that killed Captain Cook.
