The idea of UFOs being alien spececraft does not stand up to any kind
of logical scrutiny.

What logical scrutiny? It's only logical in the context of the absence of
evidence to call such scrutiny "logical". e.g. believing in Santa Clause can
be quite logical for a child until he/she realises that a big fat old man
would have some physical difficulty coming down the average chimney and many
modern homes no longer have chimneys. So the factual evidence then dispels
the myth. It's never logical to come to a conclusion based on limited
evidence. It is more logical to keep an open mind in regard to the
possibility that some UFOs are of ET origin, particularly since what we
actually know about the universe we live in is infinitesimal and a Trillion
stars bear witness to that fact, we don't even know about all the bodies in
our own Solar system.
