Good points, but how many atmospheric illusions also show up on radar? There is a subset of UFO sightings that are "multiple sensor" sightings, such as both radar and visual or both visual and infrared.
I tend to dismiss all but the highest quality multiple sensor confirmation sightings for the reason you state, but that leaves a residue of really interesting cases that are probably something. The next thing to rule out is something ours, such as classified weapons technology.
- saberdancer 6y agoCould you list a couple of examples? It's not impossible for the observer to be mistaken. For example they see an optical phenomenon while on radar they are seeing a distant commercial aircraft going behind a mountain.

But I'm sure shooting stars and the aurora borealis where seen as messengers from the gods.
