Samantha, there have been "sightings" of all kinds throughout history, it is you, and
others of similar mindset (those who are inclined to believe in alien visitation, not
that there is anything wrong with that) who classify these things as UFO's flown by
aliens, with not one lick of evidence to support it. People have been seeing things
and making mention of it since man has been around, I am inclined to believe that they
are seeing something real, but I can only conclude that it is a phenomenon that as yet
is unexplained, it could be alien driven machines, but I doubt it for a whole host of
reasons. Let's not forget that people in the past interpreted these things within
their own cultural context, thus to some they were angels, or devils, or faeries, or
ghosts, or other fabulous creatures. Why are those explanations not just as valid as
your theory that they are UFO's driven by aliens coming to earth from elsewhere? I am
open to possibilities on this issue, but always take a more prosaic view especially
towards modern day (post 1947) sightings. The upsurge in UFO sightings, in the USA in
recent times is due IN MY OPINION to secret aircraft and these flights and
misrepresentation as UFO's and scoffed at by real scientists serve to divert attention
from black projects and cover them perfectly. That is a much more prosaic and
plausible explanation than that they are aliens from somewhere else, here for some
unnamed purpose. Don't you agree? Yet I can never say they all are, or even
conclusively that ANY of them are as I describe them. It is just my belief. As for
older sightings, I haven't a clue, although I am not averse to the idea of remnanats
of super advanced HUMAN societies from the past still hidden in secluded spots sending
out "ships" to spy on our development as ONE explanation (even though it is almost as
far fetched as the mysterious aliens from elsewhere and might even be said to be
ludicrous by some). I am also open to the interpretation that these things have been
given by those who examine the phenomena from a cultural context, that they are
glimpses of some other dimension, or spiritual beings of some kind, or archetypes from
the collective unconscious of humanity. I also think they might be living things that
are rarely seen and have never been studied, and finally that they MIGHT, just MIGHT
be alien driven machines. A lot of these possibilities are way down on my list of
probability. My main point is not to limit your conclusions to one possible
explanation when there are many possibilities.
