What about the alien abduction stories around the world? Are they just dreams and hoaxes?
The only encounter I've had with unexplained things in the sky is red explosions that appeared to be high in the atmosphere. Not fireworks, literally red balls of fire. I've seen this twice, a few years apart from each other. Most likely it was just some missile testing, but I really don't know.
The ufo phenomenon is a fascinating one, whether it's all just hoaxes and interpreting tricks of lighting and other phenomenon that are unknown to you as being extra-terrestrial, or it being legit.
I will just have to disagree with the first phrase here. Intelligent life does not "have to" exist somewhere else in the universe.
My personal opinion is that it is likely that there is intelligent life out there somewhere, though I can't assert that as truth until there is actually evidence. I also don't believe that any intelligent life from elsewhere has visited Earth yet. Sure there are a lot of people who claim that aliens are here or have been here. I will admit that it is closer to acceptable evidence than most religious claims, but there's nothing solid there yet. Most of this is, as you said, unidentified stuff in the sky. The key word there is "unidentified", which means the observer does not know.
It would be very exciting to discover something like this, however.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
