Assuming Jesus existed and he was crucified, it's still not improbable that stories of his resurrection surfaced among the faithful. How many Elvis fans in the 20th century believed that he was still alive? These people lived in a primitive and superstitious time, when people thought that demons caused illnesses.
As for the "witnesses" to those who saw him fly up into the sky, I give that every bit the credibility of the Elvis sightings.
