I think its more interesting that UFO reports from 50 yrs ago never included drone size deployments, therefore the reports from 50 yrs ago are quite likely inaccurate, unless the visitors to Earth were somehow limited to pre-2010-ish era technology.

Kind of like the mystery airships that were plaguing us at the end of the 19th century? But I think the OP was talking more about normal, mortal, earthbound humans having some garage-built technology that got classified as UFOs. Those would necessarily have to be made with the technology of the day.

It's also interesting how many of them reported exactly the same "saucer" as the original publicized sighting, despite that sighting not necessarily involving a saucer shape!
