My point remains. Point me to any written account of sightings of flying objects in any credible history. The occurrence of these reports seems to have exploded post WWII after which we had the atom bomb, real rockets and a whole lot of people on both sides of the Cold War expecting the other side to launch them into extinction at any minute. There have been a number of credible reviews and inquiries into UFO sightings in the US and of the hundreds reviewed, one or two have not been accounted for.
And about that ariel battle Jennifer mentioned as possibly being cited in an ancient Hindu religious work - does that suggest that there were multiple UFOs having a dogfight over downtown Bombay? They came a long way to have a fight!! Or perhaps it is more to do with one or more of the panoply of Hindu gods having it out with one-another. It's metaphor, not a description of reality. Either way, I'd love to be pointed to the text so we could all see what it's about.
