Most of these turn out to be sensor artifacts, operator errors and the likes, and even some blatant fakes.
The problem is: it takes much more effort to investigate (and possibly debunk) each of these occurrences than to shout "UFO! UAP!".
It always reminds of the rule of bullshit: it takes 10x more effort to debunk bullshit than to produce it. Thus if you don't want to be tangled up in believing lots of bullshit, you have to develop a certain resistance to it.
We as a public have not developed that certain resistance to uncertainty in observations, and still jump on them, thinking this time it could really be aliens.
