As a private pilot and sailor, I've seen plenty of lights that make no sense to me. However, I also know that I have no point of reference to judge speed or distance. Therefore, when someone says a light was moving fast or being stationary, they really can't know.

One time what looked like a stern or mast light moving towards me turned out to be the planet Venus.

Unidentified Flying Object doesn't mean anything but unidentified. Jumping to the conclusions of aliens is not logical.
