It's painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only "evidence" that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.

They're capable of space travel. I'm not sure from what it would be obvious they can't fling rocks towards Earth.

I might be confusing it with the book that goes more in-depth with the war.

There's nothing obvious in the movie, unless you overthink it and get into the physics of it. There are lots of YouTube videos that will show the galactic map where they show the big planet being on the other side of the Milky Way from Earth. People have done calculations to show that the bugs would have had to launch the rock millions or billions of years beforehand to travel across the galaxy and hit Earth.

But yeah, there's nothing to imply that was intentional in the movie. It was more likely just a case of the film makers trying to make a good movie rather than setting up some conspiracy based on actual physics.

I was just wondering if there was some line I missed or something that hinted that it was a false flag attack.
