My favorite was this doofus who said he saw a UFO speeding low across the sky one foggy night. He had a shaky cell phone video to back him up.
When the investigators went out to check in the daytime they found that he was standing on the edge of a beach with a promontory running out and with a highway on it and there were cars driving along the highway. The speed limit on the road was 40.
As noted, people see what they want to see.
My favourite? Rendlesham Forest UFO case.
Quote:Soon after the News of the World story appeared, I went in search of local opinions about the case. I made contact by telephone with a forester, Vince Thurkettle, who lives within a mile of the alleged UFO landing site [he now lives in Norfolk]. Immediately I was brought down to Earth. “I don’t know of anyone around here who believes that anything strange happened that night,” he told me.
So what did he think the flashing light was in Rendlesham Forest? I was astonished by his reply. “It’s the lighthouse,” he said.
That lighthouse lies at Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast, five miles from the forest. Thurkettle plotted on a map the direction in which the airmen reported seeing their flashing UFO, and found that they were looking straight into the lighthouse beam.
That link is a beautiful deconstruction of the total bollocks Rendlesham case, by the most learned and highly readable Ian Ridpath.

This just screams Rendlesham. Let's hope so, much hilarity will ensure.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
