Yes, I understand your nit picking about the "first" UFO sighting being Mt Rainier, although, I feel like it was pretty clear that wasn't the main point I was making. As for 1561, I am wondering if they had better optics and telescopes maybe it would have revealed what the phenomenon was. Maybe it was an Ancient Alien visitation, or maybe not, we don't know. And probably never will. So, it might be interesting, but it is not proof. Foo Fighters (good band BTW), maybe if they had better radar or other tools maybe they could have detected what it was, maybe not. So, again, interesting but, just that. For now, I remain a skeptic. Believe me, when I saw what looked like a disc, it looked like a lot more than just a dot of light, and a lot of other people thought so too, I was excited. I was hoping it was a visitation of nice aliens coming to save us from ourselves and not predators with a cookbook. But, it turns out it was just a guy in a hang glider with a motor on it. Had I not had a lot of good optical equipment, I might have been convinced I saw a flying saucer. I am a skeptic, but with proper proof of course I can be convinced, I am even hoping for it (I just hope they aren't bearing cookbooks).
