25% of the 1600 reports are listed as unexplained, some fuel for the fools.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

So about 400 reports are "unexplained," eh? Man, that ought to prove aliens are visiting! But how many of the 1200 remaining sighting were explained -- as alien spacecraft?

What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a pink shirt before?
