What do you think could be an explanation for the majority of UFO sightings, besides the common reply of extraterrestrial origin?

I personally hope that someone is out there visiting. But I believe most see high flying Jets and lights reflecting off of these same High flying Jets and believe they have seen a UFO.

Atmospheric phenomena, secret experimental aircraft, weather balloons, meteors, satellites, cloud formations, ball lightning, all have at some point or another been interpreted as an UFO by a passive or actively wishful observer.

The majority of UFO's are actually readily explained when reviewed by knowledgeable people. As far as the remaining sightings which do remain unexplained, they probably have a logical and non-impressive explanation as well.

Does this mean that this discounts the possibility of extra terrestrial life? Of course not. It is practically a statistical, although as of yet an unproven reality, that life does exist elsewhere besides earth. Likewise, reason and logic would also show us that UFO's are simply not the manifestation of such life. Most UFO's have a less majestic, although not uninteresting. explanation.

First off, let's not confuse UFO with flying saucer (or extraterrestrial spacecraft). I'm assuming your question deals mostly with the latter.

Alot of it is a trick of the eye and a trick of light. In the dark, our eyes don't see as well as they do in broad daylight. Naturally, our interpretation of what we see in dim light will be of dubious reliability.

Many times people have seen Venus and thought they were seeing a flying saucer. Other times, simple yet not commonly-known phenomena will leave many confused as to what on earth (literally) they could have just seen. Occasionally, there'll be a person of high esteem in the scientific community who sees something s/he cannot readily explain. It's hard to put a number on how many times this occurs. As technology advances, we will hopefully be able to know for sure what (or whom) we are seeing in the night sky.

Money. Fifteen minutes of fame. Latch-key kids all grown up and looking for much needed attention. If they don't grow up and see UFOs, they set fires or sue people constantly. It's horrible. :)
