I've been researching and investigating UFOs for a long time (40+ years) and the probabilities are really, really low that they are from other planets, but then again, science doesn't know everything.

If it did, all scientist would be out of work.

That said, it's interesting how UFOs seemed to grow in sophistication, almost mirroring our progress in air travel. From the airships of the 1890s, flying saucers of the 1950s, all the way up to the triangle ships of today.

It kind of gives credibility to the belief that most (if not all) of these sightings are not ET, but the result of foreign and domestic defense programs, or even private individuals. Look at the Wright Brothers.
