2. UFO's have "evolved"

Back in the days of balloons and dirigibles, UFO's were cigar-shaped.

One guy in 1947 described "chevrons" flying like "suacers skipped over water" and flying saucers became the rage.

Nowadays our stealth aircraft (which were denied for so long) look like arrowheads, so UFO's look like arrowheads.

Couple years ago I saw a UFO changing shape and color.
Once I got close enough I could see it was a bunch of balloons tethered to a local car dealership.
