On the other hand, isolated South Sea islanders do not, as far
as I know, have any pieces of said 747, despite the fact that
those aircraft fly ovcr their territory all the time.

So this is something of a strawman. We don't have any evidence
for terrestrial "UFOports", where we could go "on the tarmac"
and touch one.

Still, Socorro and Delphos spring to mind as good physical
evidence cases. As does Trans-en-Province.

As I've stated here many times, to answer this question, one
must define the discriminators for an extraterrestrial source
for a UFO. In my view there are several, which include:

1) Cases of measured speeds at or above escape velocity.

2) Association of non-humans with UFOs.

3) Detection of UFOs in interplanetary and interstellar
space.

Of these, (3) is most critical and has not yet occurred. Thus,
it cannot be stated unequivocally that UFOs represent an
extraterrestrially sourced phenomenon.

Nevertheless, there are many suggestive cases, and of these,
there are some which have been sufficiently well-investigated
and have stood the test of time to the extent that the objective
researcher must conclude there is something worth scientific
examination going on, and that it seems to be a physical
phenomenon as well.
