Don't believe one word of these stories about encounters of the third kind. Some of these people are just blowing smoke hoping they can generate cash on hand. It sure beats working for a living.
There are others who have mental problems and if they had not been molested by UFO crews, would have claimed they wrestled with Big Foot.
There some who think it is a big laugh to make people believe in a hoax. The crop circles are such a case.
The UFO mythology has done one thing, it has caused lots of attention, which is something many people want.
You might have a chance with that understandable exhortation which is probably far too true in many cases . . . except that . . .
I have a close relative who worked around the UFO craft at a very secret base.
I've had other trusted friends and associates over the years who also had a piece or three of the puzzle from their personal employment or experiences.
On top of that, I've read far too broadly and deeply to see your explanation as sufficient for all the evidence.
Your explanations just far from cover the whole field.
The photo below was obtained by a Cleveland aerial phenomena group (reported to have come from an employee of Case Western reserve University). IMO: it appears to be the object which made the ribbon like pattern, (only not rotating).
Also several reports have come from the Medina and Cleveland Ohio area of heavy military fighter jet traffic during that time frame.
Photos here also from WTAM's web site;
