Personally I am not sure these entities are from other planets, and even if they are from other dimensions not sure they have a clear independent existence from humanity's own place in the "Imaginal" realm...
I agree that we can certainly not be sure that these entities are from other planets in our Universe, or from other dimensions, other universes in a multiverse, or time travelers from our own future (of course, paradoxes probably prevent this option), or any of the other imaginative ideas put out over the years.
I just think it would be instructive to briefly review one of the significant number of excellent quality UFO incidents that feature apparently piloted structured vehicles of some kind. As far as I am concerned, these cases cumulatively establish beyond much reasonable doubt that at least some UFOs/UAPs are somebody else’s hardware.
The following is an example of an extensive detailed sighting by two expert observers (also included in a post some time ago at
https://psiencequest.net/forums/thread-u...1#pid48301 ). Of course, anything at all including this could possibly really be some sort of deceptive illusion created by some sort of very powerful mind-altering aliens, but that option seems too suspiciously like magical imagination to me.
How about it? It seems to me that the "if it looks like a duck and walks and quacks like a duck it probably is a duck" reasoning is more plausible - this case was probably as it appeared to be, rather than some sort of staged illusion by some sort of very advanced beings.
The Nash-Fortenberry UFO sighting
Location: Over Chesapeake Bay, VA
July 1952
The Nash-Fortenberry UFO sighting was an unidentified flying object sighting that occurred on July 14, 1952, when two experienced commercial pilots (William B. Nash and William H. Fortenberry) saw eight UFOs flying in a tight echelon formation over Chesapeake Bay in the state of Virginia. Though the encounter lasted only twelve to fifteen seconds, Nash and Fortenberry were able to offer a detailed moment-by-moment chronology of events, and a relatively accurate measurement of the objects’ motion and size when compared to well-known attractions. Both pilots were World War II U.S. Navy veterans, and had been trained in identification of enemy aircraft — Nash was a Naval Air Transport veteran who specialized in anti-submarine patrols, while Fortenberry worked with the Navy’s air experimental wing.
Nash stated that the sighting consisted of “six bright objects streaking towards us at tremendous speed…They had the fiery aspect of hot coals, but of a much greater glow…Their shape was clearly outlined and evidently circular!” He would go on to state that this color was the same on each craft, which themselves glowed around “twenty times” brighter than the city lights below them.
A little more of this extensive detailed sighting by two expert observers, from
https://www.ufoinsight.com/ufos/sighting...nberry-ufo :
The closer the objects got to the airliner the clearer the two men could see they were in a purposeful “narrow echelon formation”. The leader, according to Nash, was the “lowest” in the formation, with “each following craft slightly higher”. Then, the leader appeared to attempt to slow suddenly. Nash would continue:
“We received this impression because the second and third wavered slightly and seemed almost to overrun the leader, so that for a brief moment during the remainder of their approach the positions of these three varied. It looked very much as if an element of “human” or “intelligence” error had been introduced in so far as the following two did not react soon enough when the leader began to slow down and so almost overran him!”
As the two men continued to observe the row of glowing circular objects, they suddenly and with lightning speed changed their direction. They would “flip” on their edges with the glowing surface facing the pilots’ right. As they did so, the bottoms of the craft were “not clearly visible”.
This would lead the pilots to believe that the bottoms of the craft were, in fact, unlighted. The same appeared true for the edge of the objects. Nash would describe their overall appearance as being “much like coins”.
The encounter was corroborated by several groups of independent ground witnesses. The case has been recorded in the United States Air Force Blue book project as “unknown”. Major Dewey Fournet, who was involved with the Project Blue Book project years later, indicated that the incident was “one of the most detailed and reliable cases” of the times.
