Just because most people don't know what it could be, they exclude it as being human-made? Has an aeronautics engineer ever reported seeing a UFO? Probably not, because this sort of individual has the capacity to comprehend what is possible with modern engineering.

An examination of this mental phenomena, the desire explain anything one doesn't understand as not understandable could explain the success of the conspiracy theories popular with the likes of Beck and Limbaugh fans.

Of course, this is the Daily Mail and its general readership is composed of people looking for salacious thrills.
