Guess the poor guy was upset that he had no good stories to tell, and made it up. Co-pilot? Navigator? Passangers? No, didn't think so....
How about you use Occam's Razor on the guy. Will you admit it's more probable that he made it up/hallucinated, than the fact that a alien craft, from another world, travelled light years, and for some reason didn't have cloaking technology, or just wanted to show themselves for no special reason?

Of course, you're can make up a complex explanation... doesn't make it any more probable.

Well, imagine sitting in a plane, and suddenly falling through your seat and the plane's fuselage, and falling to your death. They check the plane later, nothing wrong with it, at all. What happened? Answer: every single atom in your body, the seat, and the plane's fuselage under your seat aligned perfectly, and made you drop right through. It could actually happen. But what're the chances? Has it ever happened before? Still, it *could* happen. Doesn't mean it has, or will ever happen.

Just because it *could* happen doesn't mean we should investigate every single UFO sighting/claim, that'd just eat up funds and time.

I still haven't seen a single piece of convincing UFO evidence. Any of you feel like pointing me to some? Remember, no shakycam, no low res, and oh yeah I need a point of reference in the video to know how fast the UFO is travelling. Anyone?
