There is a reason why I stepped away from simple UFO reports and it has become a greater problem in the last 20 years.
Online reporting.
Or, more accurately, anonymous online reporting. MUFON and other groups allow this "to get to the truth. About a year ago I did what these organisations do not do: I fact checked reports. I know, how naughty of me.
Firstly, in one case an alleged witness could not have observed a "UFO formation" fly over hills to the West of where he claimed to have been standing because west is out over the sea but the fella checked a compass. Out of a selected twenty reports made anonymously online njot one managed to get through a basic fact check. I found the UK MUFON rep had scored 100 out of 100 UFO reports as "unidentified". There were obvious aircraft, a satellite and so on. Those reports if they ever get tallied up will 'prove' massive UFO activity.
Claims of alien abduction were accepted yet some were almost quoting from a specific source. Of course, anonymous with no contact details (in two cases the emails didn't exist who can tell hoaxer from someone with a psychological condition or a genuine percipient? But this all gets taken by the organisations and added to the mess they make - look at Stoner and Marsden's book The Abduction Files: a debunkers delight!

If I went online and reported encountering a UFO and an entity that was 7 feet tall, had four arms and spindly legs and looked like a giant carrot and I get friends to report a UFO at the same time -that is in the data base. One supposes that no one really checks these reports because they cannot.
With any work I have carried out I never accepted an anonymous report because if the person(s) contacting me felt it that important then they give their names. Incidentally, in 50 years no one who requested anonymity has ever been openly identified -unlike in Ufology where confidential information is sold on or given out to news media for the publicity and TV appearances.
If someone claims they were lifelong abductees and "it was the Greys" no one checks. Again; added to the data base because details match up (because all those details are online).
Faking a report of a UFO sighting is easier by far and does not take much imagination. A regular aircraft becomes a "mystery (possibly alien) drone" in a mass panic. In other cases the aircraft become "mysterious black triangular craft". In the old days when some actually did investigate reports LITS (Lights In The Sky) were low priority although I know of US investigators who spent a couple years looking into one such report -with no conclusion as a pin point of light is a pin point of light. Daylight Discs (DD) -basically day time sightings of any object were more of a priority. A DD and physical traces was a priority. A CE3K..."We'll ignore that one".
Today the CGI/AI generated UFO fakes are going out daily on You Tube and blogs as well as Tik-Tok -views and money and 'celebrity' status are far more important than the truth. And when we see the utter mess the US has become with whistle blower after whistle blower revealing nothing but making money from TV and fakery on a weekly basis and when caught out "I never checked the source" but another fake item iss on its way the next week and then next month and you have to ask how many times someone can be caught out lying before people realise?
So I stick to the CE3K/AE reports.
