[This means that the aliens have gone to the extraordinary trouble of carefully adjusting every incoming photon, in order to ensure that the light we think we're seeing from every one of the moons, planets, nearby stars, space probes, and the 100,000,000,000 or so visible galaxies creates the illusion that we see in delayed time.]
It's not the aliens that have gone to extraordinary trouble to fool us in any way; it's man that's doing this to himself because of his acceptance of afferent vision. It's amazing what lengths people will go to in order to make an accepted theory that has graduated into fact (and why I'm getting all this backlash), fit the premise.

Who said anything about radio signals not being real? Of course they're real, but that doesn't mean we see images that are traveling on the waves of light (you know what I mean, so don't tell me this is a strawman), in the same way. And who said anything abut the trajectories being inaccurate. The calculations could be based on a light-time correction, not even realizing that they were correcting an original error.
