UFOs are just what the name stgands for UNIDENTIFIED flying objects. They could be angels, the could be demons, they could be meteors, they could be hallucinations, they could be space juck or spacecraft, they could be drones, on and on, ad infinitum. They could be anything that your imaginations can contrive, BECAUSE NO ONE HAS IDENTIFIED THEM. U-fos, right? So everybody gets to make up their very own sure 'nuff, no doubt, cold gots to be IDENTIFICATION of whatever they reckon the thing they couldn't identify "really is".
Right.
So the unco pious know that the UFOs are either angels keeping watch over us, or demonst rying to desceive us into believing they're not demons. The less pious declare that they're interstellar spacecraft, because the universe is JUST SO BLOODY BIG that it has to be full of spacemen who drive flying saucers, and whose greates joy is driving them to planets zillions of light years away and doing pointless and inexplicable things because. well, that's just what aliens do after a long boring flying saucer ride, and you just prove they don't!
Me? I'm an old enginer, so my imaginings are boering in the extreme. I reckon maybe, say, 90% of the UFO sightings are of perfectly ordinary stuff seen under less-than-perfect-conditions. BTW, I got that number, from MUFON, the oldest and least weird of the UFO investigation outfits. They investigate these reports, and on average about 90% of them are boring atuff like airplanes. (MUFON is probably infested with old killjoys.) Thet other 10% are... wait for it... unidentified. Who'd a thunk it? Zat mean they're spacement and/or demons? Nope, it means there's not enough information to say what they were at all But that's boring, so we make up cool stories.
Now to me, the really cool srories are the ones like The Nimitz Incident. Even the name is cool. innit? Loads of UFOs (or UAPs if you prefer) flying around, and one big "tic;tac:". Pretty cool. So what does old Jipsah say to that? The real bogey (AND MAYBE THE ONLY REAL ONE)... the TIC TAC. A really cool drone stuffed with 5th (or 6th) generation ecm's designed to make their enemies "see" (via their instruments), a sky full of aircraft that "defy the laws of Physics" in the only way possible - by being massless radio RF images of stuff that isn't really there.
But nobody has the tech to do that! Really? ECMs have been doing that for decades, just not nearly as well. But hey, it's more fun believing that we're being surveilled by aliens from light years away doing pointless and inexplicable stuff, than it is to think that maybe it's the product of a very old earthly nation that has a huge population of statististically speaking very brainy people and who produces engineers and scientists at a rate that ought to frighten anyone who might be forced to compete with them in a technological wrasslin' match. Just sayin'.
Nah, spacemen or demons. Cain't be nothin' else. Old Bill Ockham would be proud of ya.
