mimixco's comment in your post is spot on too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27724776

I really do not understand the stigma behind UFOs. There is evidence of sightings for millennia all over the world, even before the invention of aircraft.

No, there are claims of sightings for millennia.

Technically, when someone sees an object flying in the air but cannot identify what it is, that is by definition a UFO. So UFO's are definitely real.

Flying saucers are also real, just throw a saucer in the air.

Simply replace "UFO" with "hallucinations" and you might understand the stigma. "Hallucinations" have been reported for millennia, that doesn't mean I want someone who sees things that aren't there flying my plane.
