I don't doubt that they saw something, and they realize the credibility they are putting on the line in coming forward.

It would take a very profound event to coax someone out of their comfort zone into the spotlight of world opinion. Some think it was an ET event, others think it's some secret aircraft of our own, and other's think it's a visit from residents of our own future that have traveled back in time.

In the bible Daniel records such events as being a result of the "watchers" and the "ancient ones". Rather than being ET's the bible refers to them as super natural immortals from another dimension, perhaps a spiritual dimension. I think I can buy that easier than them being from another planet. No matter how fast the craft, it would take many lifetimes to travel here from another planet.

There is reportedly at least one and maybe several technologies which can do something like or equal functionally to

bending space much as a bowling ball on huge rubber sheet across a trampoline frame would bend the sheet

resulting in points vastly far before the bend would end up very close together.

The speed of light limitation has been reportedly trashed for a list of reasons and in a list of ways.

a visit from residents of our own future that have traveled back in time.

Oh, and there's tons of evidence for that. </sarcasm>
