Hi,

Recently it occurred to me to wonder what is the latest date in Earth
history when an extraterrestrial visit (a non-clandestine visit, i.e.)
could have occurred without having been recognized as such?

In asking the question, I am, of course, assuming that prior to some date
(now passed) an extraterrestrial appearing openly, to an individual or in
a community, would be explained as some kind of supernatural being or
simply a rare form of sentient but indigenous life.

Naturally, I'm also assuming these etraterrestrials could not be mistaken
for or somehow pass as humans themselves.


Any ideas?

Well, there was the two Perot presidential campaigns.
