First I'd better define specifically what I mean by a UFO. To me, a bona-fide UFO is any UFO that remains a UFO following comprehensive research and investigation by qualified experts have failed to ascertain the object as any known natural or man-made phenomena. The tag 'unidentified' indicates that the conclusion was that it couldn't have even been a probable or achievable natural or man-created phenomena, but what specifically it was remains certainly 'unidentified' and probably forever unidentifiable. Observational evidence is suggestive that these bona fide UFOs will be extraterrestrial visitations - the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH).

One may ague and come to a conclusion that although it is actually achievable aliens would stumble more than our humble abode at the cosmos, it really is incredibly improbable that it would take place within our lifetime; with the last few generations. It's vastly extra achievable a visitation would have happened in ancient times, prehistoric times, possibly millions if not billions of years ago. While there's some thing to be stated for that, there is certainly the counter argument that having visited when, the 'tourist attraction' we call Earth would come to be ongoing.

Fast forward some billions of years and our alien scientists or explorers (biologists this time) picked up a trilobite or 2 for their interstellar zoo or museum collection. And I'd bet even aliens could possibly have been fascinated using the dinosaurs! Perhaps in our hypothetical interstellar zoo, terrestrial dinosaurs continue to strut their stuff, having suffered a pre-historical UFO abduction!

Alas, the odds any physical evidence of such vastly ancient prehistoric visitations or surveys or expeditions could be so uncommon, eroded away or deeply buried, that such musings will most likely forever stay merely wild speculations. All witnesses are extinct these days!

But moving from millions of prehistoric years ago to more current prehistoric eras, up by way of and which includes ancient history, say in the last 100,000 years, then we may well start off getting a couple of alot more concrete pictorial evidence (cave art) or other archaeological, anthropological or mythological evidence - which naturally brings us to the topic of 'ancient astronauts'. All I'll say on that's that plenty of of the widespread literature on the subject is bovine fertilizer or pure balderdash. But I'm not going to be so rash as to go on record as saying all of it is actually.

There's a song by country-pop singer Shania Twain that goes some thing just like "That don't impress me much". Specifically, once watching 'ancient astronaut' documentaries, or even reading the popular literature, I've by no means been impressed by the monuments argument that aliens either built them or helped humans to create them - monuments such as Stonehenge or the pyramids (Egyptian or Mesoamerican) or the statutes on Easter Island. That's selling human abilities brief. I'm as well not impressed with so known as ancient technologies - thousands of year old batteries for instance that look around as alien as a Model T Ford.

What does impress me are a lot of really anomalous and alien in look historical art works - photos, cave art, paintings, sculptures, etchings, a number of of large size which include the Nazca line drawings in Peru so naturally designed to be viewed from a high altitude. Also of interest is mythology and comparative mythology that could be suggestive of 'ancient astronauts'. These are legitimate and worthy locations for scholarly study, given the importance of the subject.

So, why the sudden surge in UFO activity in recent generations - 1947 to date? Well, perhaps there hasn't been - a surge that's.
