Does it have to be a space ship?

I am often stuck that people seem to have stopped questioning what unidentified objects are and only debate if they exist.

Remember when it came out that Dennis Kucinich had seen a UFO? The Congressman had to defend to the media and the masses that just because he had seen something; "Hey, it was UN-identified", that didn't automatically mean he believed in little green men.

The question these days is not "What is that light in the sky?" but more, "Is it an alien from another planet or the Air Force on secret maneuvers?". I find it interesting because I think both sides might be wrong.

What if these occurrences and experiences are not that simple? After all, it's easy to imagine a man from space, right? Even if he's a freaky looking person, he's still a person. He (or she,....or it) still put that space suit on one leg at a time. Climbed into a ship that used technology to travel across space as we know it and start a picnic, or maybe an invasion.

Think about it, all those concepts are totally familiar, humans have been getting in ships and landing and invading longer than anyone can remember. So really this "STRANGE" space alien thing is actually pretty well within our everyday frame of reference.

What if the idea of aliens visiting our plant is the "cover-up"? One that we manufacture ourselves, no conspiracy needed. What if these events are pushing the edges of our agreed upon reality and we haven't figured out how to interpret what we're seeing, so we're grasping at familiar ideas?

Here's some new footage that recently hit the news in the UK. Just for fun, consider for a moment; what if it really happened, and it's not a hoax, but neither is it space aliens, government testing nor an errant weather balloon...what else could this be?
