That is not correct. There is a huge difference in the data set size and as a cinsequence bigfootology doesn't provide as many grips for scientific research.
In ufology there is enough data to find testable information allowing to deduce/induce insight on the phenomenon.
The Betty Hill map is one such example. The testimony of Betty and Barney Hill is not testable and could be fully imaginary. But the map is data that can be tested. And many scientists did test it. Many scientists searched a correspondance with a set of stars. Many where found but the one of Zeta Reticuli got the most instense PR. It must be noted that there is a circle in the center of the BH map which hasn't any matching star. Some reproductions of the map have removed the circle to "solve" the problem.
Karl Sagan said that would found many many matching set of stars because the number of stars is so high. He is right.
The discovery of Koch and Kyborg, is that the map shows our own solar system. Their reasonning is that the the two big circles crossed with a curved line could be rings. The other argument is the circonstance in whitch the map was shown. Betty just asked to the leader where they came from. The leader asked back, "what do you know of space?". She said she now the 9 planets of our solar system that she learned in school. The leader than show the map and asked where is earth. She said she didn't know. The leader than said "so what is the point to tel you where we come from?".
Koch and Kyborg deduced that this map could correspond to our solar system. They check this is and fiund the match. The two big circles correspond to saturn and jupiter. The cent circle not connected with a line is the sun. Make sens that there is no connection to it. The small circle below tje sun is mars. The configuration of the planets correspond to the month Betty and Barned were abducted. Well not exactly, mercure which is rotation very fast around the sun was 120° of position. But Koch and Kyborg suspected that there could have been more than one abduction. The testimony is not incompatible with that.
What I found with a colleague is that no human new at the time the map was drawn that Jupiter had a ring. This is for me a strong evidence that the story could be true.
Then there are the rotating compass. There are also many instrumental recordîgs.
And from all this data, it was possible to elaborate a theory explaining a possible propulsion mechanism. This is inductive research methodology and how science made the most breaking through discoveries. This theory implies that ufos are using high temperature supraconductivity. Then there is the energy source which is also something that we don't master. The energy they spend that could be deduced from some testimonies is huge. Humans don't master a method allowing them to produce such amount of energy.
Peolpe who say there is no evidence or there is not more evidence than with bigfoot are ignorent or suspectfully dishonnest. The taboo in the media and scientific journals induce a reenforcing ignorence of this research subject.
