Not waiting for a response, I went ahead and did some research.
Kelley is correct that each of us creates our own reality, but even he isn't saying that it changes physical reality. In your reality, UFOs and other psychic and prophetical things may be real, but that doesn't make them real.
I believe there's a one reality. Whether or not one is able to discern it is a different matter.

What Kelley's work does indicate is that when one's rigidity of constructs reaches a certain point, they become dysfunctional in terms of the percentage of predictions about "objective" reality which the overly rigid, impermeable construct system will support.
Your construct system with respect to UFO's appears to be THAT rigid and impermeable. Of course, You could check it out over say 6-18 months via:

One can learn tons of useful stuff for relationships as well as for one's work relationships by sorting the following type of list:
1. IDEAL SELF
2. FRIEND A ON AVERAGE
3. MOTHER ON AVERAGE
4. BROTHER A ON AVERAGE
5. CO-WORKER A ON AVERAGE
6. DAD ON AVERAGE
7. BEST TEACHER ON AVERAGE
8. SELF ON AVERAGE
9. MOTHER @ WORST
10 FRIEND B ON AVERAGE
11 CLOSEST FATHER FIGURE OR FATHER AT WORST
12 BEST FRIEND ON AVERAGE
13 SPOUSE ON AVERAGE
14 SIBLING B ON AVERAGE
15 BOSS ON AVERAGE
16 BEST FRIEND @ WORST
17 SIBLING A AT WORST
18 SELF @ WORST
19 BOSS @ WORST
20 WORST TEACHER ON AVERAGE
21 MOST TROUBLESOME PERSON IN LIFE ON AVERAGE
22 IDEAL ROLE MODEL e.g. JESUS OR WHOMEVER ON AVERAGE
CONSTRUCTS USEFUL TO SORT THE ABOVE ON:
--MORE KIND
--MORE THOUGHTFUL
--MORE DILIGENT
--MORE OBSESSIVE
--MORE ANGRY
--MORE RELAXED
--MORE INTELLIGENT
--MORE NERVOUS, WORRIED
--MORE SCATTERED, DISORGANIZED
--MORE GENEROUS
--MORE GOOD HUMORED
--MORE CREATIVE
--MORE FAITHFUL
--MORE OBJECTIVE
--MORE LOGICAL
ETC. WHATEVER. Hair color, weight etc. are not very useful constructs to sort on.
One can rate each individual along the each row of the construct being sorted on by raiting them 1-5 or 1-8 on the trait with 1 = NONE and 5 or 8 = the MOST of the trait.
If anyone does the above, please save the resulting map to your own computer. If you want my input on what it all means, am willing to give it to FREEPERS I recognize or who are introduced as reliable folks by FREEPERS I recognize. Basically, the closer the geographic distance on the map, the closer or at least more intense the relationship is likely to be/have been. There are lots of implications for various map configurations.
Over 6-18 months, filling such out say every month or every 3-4 months, one can see how rigid vs permeable one's construct system is. The most effective construct system is one which is stable enough to be consistent, reliable but flexible enough to be adjusted depending on circumstances, changing realities.
The best construct system affords the most predictive construct system in terms of future events. Kelly taught that every individual is a mini-scientist forming hypotheses about life. Those who's hypotheses result in the most accurate predictions lead the most successful lives on a number of measures.
In terms of UFO's, the naysayers' construct systems seem to be incredibly rigid. They wholesale seem to have a death grip on; an addiction to being MUCH MORE VULNERABLE to a TYPE II ERROR than to a TYPE I error AND THE DELUSION that such a lop-sided, illogical state is somehow wiser and safer.
THAT'S
NONSENSE!
TYPE II ERROR = BELIEF THAT NOTHING IS THERE, WHEN, IN FACT, SOMETHING !IS! THERE.
