Alright, it's time to mention the possible explanation that
remains unspoken until now.  Since, according to a recent poll,
more Americans think that UFO aliens are more intelligent than we
are, by and large, than those who think they're less intelligent,
the following explanation needs to be included:

It's in accordance with the aliens' own planning.  The aliens in
charge wished to get us up to speed on the topic of alien craft
in the skies relatively quickly -- to the point where some 50% of
the population would realize it was occurring for real.  So they
could at first permit a lot of daytime sightings in so doing.
But they didn't wish to suddenly escalate that up to 80 or 90%,
because that would quickly snowball to 100% whereupon even
science, the open government and the conservative news media
would then realize the alien presence.  The extreme panic and
chaos that would accompany a premature full disclosure would then
suddenly be upon us.

Instead the aliens wished to extend the 50% belief level for a
couple generations until we had had ample time to get used to it
all, discuss it, hash it out, etc., and wait until the end of the
millennium before seeing that full disclosure occured, since
they'd figure that human minds would at that time be most open to
change. And they'd also have calculated that by then our
sciences, especially astronomy, would have advanced enough to
allow the idea of habitable alien planets within the
galaxy/universe to become plausible and commonplace.  So they
couldn't continue with so many daytime sightings.

Since daytime sightings are much more definitive and less
ambiguous than nighttime ones, they had to go easy on the daytime
ones, after the early '60s or so, in order that the UFO "belief"
level not be caused suddenly to rise too far too fast. But they
could include more nighttime ones, as these would keep the
subject in people's minds without causing the belief level to
soar past 50%.  I.e., skeptics who couldn't handle it all would
still be able to claim deniability, and could say, "If 80% could
be due to misidentification, etc., then so could the remaining
20%."

I'd guess that the aliens' hope would be that as the end of the
millennium drew near, the knowledgeable 50% would become
effective at informing the other 50% of what's been going on
UFO-wise, and so cause the coverup to unravel via that means.
But if that doesn't seem to be occurring, they could increase the
percentage of daytime sightings then in order to get the job
done.

Why leave alien intelligence out of the picture?
