I think that at least some of these are legitimate sightings of craft built and piloted by civilizations that are many, many years advanced beyond us...
1) These craft have been observed to make right angle turns at speeds estimated at thousands of miles per hour. We certainly may have built stuff like that by now, but not back in the 40's and 50's when some of these maneuvers were first seen by military and commercial pilots.
2) Many sightings are at close range in broad daylight (by credible people... not people who are drunk or on drugs while fishing in some backwoods swamp).
3) A significant percentage of these people are trained observers who know the difference between a meteor and something flying 300 yards off their right wing for 20-30 minutes; military and commercial pilots and law enforcement personnel... some of the most compelling witnesses who have come forward are men who are our fathers' age... no BS types who fought in WWII and Korea and who don't like publicity... especially publicity that can bring derision from friends and/or family.
