It all started with the first UFO photograph, taken by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 while he was driving, that was misreported and if you look at the photo was clearly a blurred photograph from a car traveling one way and some objects traveling the other, so with older cameras the shutter speed,etc just blurs motion, especially at high speeds. Right after published is when everyone started seeing UFO saucers. Almost always the flying saucer, because it's now American lore so people follow the script. As the myth got more elaborate, everyone now saw the same beings, big head, greys,etc. Now everyone reports seeing those beings. Pure group think, all these guys like Richard Hoagland and Bob Lazar can explain in scientific terms all their bullshit, but in the end they have NO evidence, so they are living on the story that the government is covering it up. Guaranteed they don't have government clearance to know either way what the government is doing. Whenever you discuss actual proof UFO guys end up with the same thing; someone saw a light in the sky they can't explain.

It’s credited as the first modern UFO sighting and the origin of America’s obsession with flying saucers. But it might have all been based on what The Atlantic calls “one of the most significant reporter misquotes in history.”
On this day, June 24, in 1947, an amateur pilot was on his way to an air show in Oregon when he saw a bright blue flash of light in the sky near Mount Rainier. At first he thought it was the sun glinting off another aircraft, but the only other plane around was about 15 mi. away, and not glinting. Then he saw nine more flashes of light, in quick succession — coming from what he later described as unidentified flying objects.
It was when the pilot, Kenneth Arnold, tried to describe the motion of the objects to a reporter for the United Press that the mix-up occurred. He said they flew “like a saucer if you skip it across the water.” The reporter took this to mean that the objects themselves were saucer-like, and news reports across the country repeated that Arnold had seen “flying saucers.”
Suddenly everyone was seeing what Arnold had seen, except that he hadn’t. “By July 4, newspapers were heralding literally hundreds of reports of ‘flying saucers’ in skies across the nation.”
Shortly after came the "UFO Researchers", like George Adamski in the late 40's who sold novels and photos of the supposed crafts along with details of their space ships and the world of UFOlogy was born. Now people have abductions, grand theories that they are either here to hurt us or save us from ourselves. All concepts from the lore, such as the Twilight Zone episodes.
No one can explain how these things travel light years to get here, they just vaguely say time warp or black hole or some unproven bullshit. If these are beings, they would be of organic material and would never live long enough to get from the nearest possible star with life to Earth.. We are not being visited. Physics and Astronomy are real. They simply could not travel here in a physical craft with living beings, due to the time it would take. Without some new concept of physics and time. And we do not have that concept yet. So we have NO evidence of UFOs. In fact now that everyone has cell phones, the sighting reports and photos have gone way down, which one would think they would go up, as everyone could capture these things in HD on their phone. But we still just have those random lights in the sky.
But the myth has made a lot of people very rich in the world of Science Fiction
