What about acounts of flying vessels and lights in the sky from the 19th
century and before?

Not every piece of evidence is worthy of a courtroom. There is
circumstantial evidence and anecdotal evidence for the existence of
visitation. The pyramids for one, and sightings from the distant past for
another.
The statistical probablities also cannot be ignored, IMO. I forget the
numbers, but recall that there are something like 10 to the 28th stars per
galaxy and approx. 10 to the 18th galaxies in the universe. Assuming the
science of astronomy is remotely accurate (and that IS a big assumption) our
sun would not even show up on a stellar map.
The probability of us being alone in the universe is small. The
probability of temperate climates conducive to organic development similar to
ours is high. Even so, who says life has to be organic as we know it? We
are based on carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. Who says intelligent
life cannot be structured differently?
<< Incidentally WHY would any aliens
want to come here and mess around with us when we are insignificant,
fatalistic, and decidedly uncivilized? It implies that we are worthwhile,
and I certainly have seen LITTLE evidence that that is true.

Why? Who knows? Could be enlightened self-interest. What would the
long-range effects of nuclear self-annihilation be on the rest of the
universe? What would large-scale atomic energy flows do as they proceeds
through the vacuum of space?
I have other ideas about it, of course, but those cross the line into the
spiritual.
