” Computer glitches occur all the time, they’re nothing unique or very special at all.”
If thats all their was then you would have a point. There was a corresponding naked eye. Did the eye have a glitch too?
Who said they were space aliens? I didnt.
“but I prefer to apply logic and rationality. “
Same here. If two separate observing devices, one technical, one biological detect the same odd object, then I would logically conclude they saw something tangible. What it was is anybodies guess.
“There was a corresponding naked eye.”

Even if someone claimed such, it’s meaningless. People frequently and unknowingly make honest mistakes, it’s even common when they are true believers not looking at the most likely, reasonable explanation for things they encounter in life. It’s amazingly common. We fool ourselves as often as we fool others, it’s easy to talk ourselves into believeing something that’s not so. And if you enjoy regaling others with Big Fish That Got Away tall stories, UFO tales are the motherlode.

Jupiter and Venus ‘Could Be Mistaken for UFOs’

As kids we use to make small hot air balloons out of common things around the house. Was a sure way to get neighbors excited about a “UFO” and even one time attracted the interest of what seemed to be an interceptor plane.
But, all in all, when you consider they only land out in the sticks, pick up a few goobers for a ride and get a yearly physical though nobody has any real evidence (not even a selfie with the creatures or their craft), I submit the correct reaction is to say “Go on and pull the other leg”.
Considering all the time now when people have been carrying cameras wherever they go and yet no one has ever been able to produce even just one photo of either an alien craft or it’s drivers - well, even the most diehard of true believers should be willing to dump the fantasy.
In fact, when you get to the bottom of it - the fact that no one would have ever thought “I gotta get a pic of this!’ should set off warning bells in and of itself.
