I have a low regard for the History Channel. I have seen documentaries
there occasionally. When they are about a subject I know well, even one that
is well documented such as the Battle of Midway, I have seen that they are
filled with mistakes. They are written by people who know nothing about the
subject. The production values are sloppy. In the Midway documentary, the
voice-over announcers had no idea how to pronounce Japanese words, and they
don't bother asking anyone.

They resemble Wikipedia. Perhaps Wikipedia is the source of recent ones,
come to think of it.

You are once again correct Jed.  I looked at the recent wave of UFO's, some 
look like clouds, some look like reflections off of a window,  some are flairs, 
reentering space junk, or gas off of reentering space junk. The one I linked to 
appears to be fake as stated in the comments.   I saw a UFO many years ago in 
PA.  It was called the Kecksburg Incident.  It looked like burring up piece of 
reentering space junk.  I saw another about 15 years ago during a lunar 
eclipse.  It proved to be a reentering booster from a Japan space launch.  It 
gave off gas and looked much bigger than it was.

Others have made much more of these incidents.  They don''t care that they are 
wrong.  There stories just keep getting bigger.  I will watch the History 
Channel special for the fun of it.  NASA recently said the global CO2 may 
attracted aliens.  Perhaps someone knows something that I don't.

One thing I have noted about UFO sightings  is that they are firmly rooted in 
the technology past. All of the craft have a pilot as would a WW2 plane.  Our 
most advanced probes are robotic.  We are now planning for carrier launched 
robot planes.  The little UFO craft with creatures controlling it is firmly 
rooted in the technology of the past.  Organic creatures, if they ever go 
intersteller, are going one way to a place fully explored by robots.
