Well, wasn't the deal with this dude that he defintely saw
<i>something</i> there, not necessarily aliens?
The only way an impartial observer can distinguish between a report in which
someone "definitely saw" something and a report in which someone believes he
"definitely saw" something is physical evidence.
Vehicles operated by humans invariably leave behind physical traces - tire
tracks, exhaust fumes, the occasional droplet of a working fluid (oil,
coolant, hydraulic fluid, washer fluid), and wear particles from tires. Even
occasional discarded/ablated parts may be found - shredded recaps, mufflers,
bumpers, fenders, lens crystal fragments, paint flakes, ... you get the
idea.
Finding *something* analogous for alien vehicles would go a *long* way
towards strengthening the case.
There have been literally thousands of trace cases filed and
catalogues of them published (impression marks, burns,
etc.). Nothing that proves an extraterrestrial vehicle
caused the traces, of course, but the cases exist. So, back
to the "saw something, not necessarily an alien" problem.
