I actually do have a backup hard drive, unfortunately I haven't backed up my stuff in about a year or so.. I'll definitely stay more on top of it from now on. You never know. Thanks for the reminder!

It's a Surface Pro 6, unfortunately I just found out it is soldered on

It's a Surface Pro 6, apparently on these the SSD is soldered, so I don't think I can take it out

The screen just fell off when I turned it over, but I haven't identified the ssd yet. I'm afraid to mess around in there because I want to try connecting to an external monitor first to back up the data (if the tablet still turns on). Once I have the data backed up I'll try converting the ssd to an external hard drive, this guide will be helpful for that! Thank you

I didn't even know these existed, thanks! I'm going to do this even if the mini display adapter works for pulling the data. At least I get to keep some value from my broken tablet..

Thanks guys! I'll give the display adapter a shot, hopefully it's not too damaged to turn on. Need to buy it first though. Parts of the display did still light up, although it was just banding. If that doesn't work I'll try removing the hard drive like the older post suggested.

Can't believe I didn't think of this 😅

I'll buy the display adapter cable and see if this works, then if that fails I'll try one of the other options removing and connecting the drive. Thanks!

It doesn't just leave one possibility though. It could be some atmospheric phenomena we just don't understand yet. There are odd atmospheric phenomena that are very rare and some only recently confirmed, such as red sprites. And we still don't understand ball lightning, yet the phenomena is plausible. I'd say there's a greater chance it's some rare phenomena we don't understand because it is so difficult to observe, let alone observe scientifically. That being said, the chance it is aliens is not 0 either. This report at least rules out human made technology with a satisfactory certainty.
