In all seriousness, if there is ethical money to be made from this, perhaps the answer is develop a kit to eliminate false positives. The main false positive is Venus (that bright light that was travelling parallel to the car), the Moon when it has a thin crescent, aircraft, hot air balloons etc.

It would probably be doing us all a favour if an 'annual kit' was developed for UFO researchers showing when Venus can be low and mistaken for a UFO, same with thin Moons etc and giving locations of flight paths or planes or Hot Air Balloons at night. In the same vain, where the ISS will be visible and explaining tumbling satellites etc.

Other items that could be explained is how bright stars like Sirius can flash many colours when low. Seriously, 25 years ago, I had to ring to the local radio station after Arcturus was claimed to be a UFO by a number of callers.

As said, something to eliminate False Positives may be doing us all a favour.
