Aliens hold the answer to life, the universe, and everything. Now what was the question? My personal favorite explanation of aliens explains it all, if you care to believe it.
Yup. All of this. I absolutely believe that people are seeing "something," but rather than beings from other planets, these are manifestations of the powers and principalities, meant to take our focus off of Father God and set us to pursue other things.
"We may not know the identities of all the mysterious craft that American military personnel and others have been seeing in the skies as of late, but I have seen more than enough to tell you that it is clear that a very terrestrial adversary is toying with us in our own backyard using relatively simple technologies—drones and balloons—and making off with what could be the biggest intelligence haul of a generation. While that may disappoint some who hope the origins of all these events are far more exotic in nature, the strategic implications of these bold operations, which have been happening for years, undeterred, are absolutely massive."[1]
"4) As I looked, I saw a great storm coming from the north, driving before it a huge cloud that flashed with lightning and shone with brilliant light. There was fire inside the cloud, and in the middle of the fire glowed something like gleaming amber. 5) From the center of the cloud came four living beings that looked human, 6) except that each had four faces and four wings. 7) Their legs were straight, and their feet had hooves like those of a calf and shone like burnished bronze. 8) Under each of their four wings I could see human hands. So each of the four beings had four faces and four wings. 9) The wings of each living being touched the wings of the beings beside it. Each one moved straight forward in any direction without turning around."
"10) Each had a human face in the front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle at the back. 11) Each had two pairs of outstretched wings—one pair stretched out to touch the wings of the living beings on either side of it, and the other pair covered its body. 12) They went in whatever direction the spirit chose, and they moved straight forward in any direction without turning around."
"13) The living beings looked like bright coals of fire or brilliant torches, and lightning seemed to flash back and forth among them. 14) And the living beings darted to and fro like flashes of lightning."
"15) As I looked at these beings, I saw four wheels touching the ground beside them, one wheel belonging to each. 16) The wheels sparkled as if made of beryl. All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it. 17) The beings could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved. 18) The rims of the four wheels were tall and frightening, and they were covered with eyes all around."
"19) When the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. When they flew upward, the wheels went up, too. 20) The spirit of the living beings was in the wheels. So wherever the spirit went, the wheels and the living beings also went. 21) When the beings moved, the wheels moved. When the beings stopped, the wheels stopped. When the beings flew upward, the wheels rose up, for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels."[1]
I'm a firm believer that everything has a natural, explainable cause. We may not now (or ever) be able to fully find the explanation, and yet one unfailingly exists.
Extraterrestrials? Possible. Man-made drones/UAVs? Very plausible.
The universe is huge. And ever expanding. The idea that we are the only intelligent race of beings in all of creation is absurd. That said the only beings who would have the time and reason to search the vastness of space would be artificial in nature. And then the question becomes, What could we possibly offer a race of super machines capable of that kind of tech. We would be insects and beneath their notice. As far as UFO sightings there are countless reasons within known science for seeing these unexplained objects, there is no reason to reach for the fantastic to explain what is ordinary.
I tend to agree with Elon Musk. I've spent a lot of time watching radar blips and never saw anything unexpected. But that was technology nearly 60 years old. The accounts of military pilots who what they are seeing on their sophisticated modern displays does give me pause but the skepticism remains.

This may also be worth a read:

I can't believe you skipped over Ezekiel 1:
