Because its the most logical conclusion. that or some kind of secret human experimental plane.
logical because their is a big chance there are life in the infinite space around us.
Sure it could be from another dimension.. but thats not as logical, because we dont know enough about other dimensions..

This is a good question and I only speak for myself on this, the reason I connect ufos with aliens is because of the many reports of ufo sightings seen on cave paintings and medieval artwork Mayan and Egyptian references even the ancient Indians and biblical references. During those times the technology that was needed to create those ships was inconcievable. Now in these times I am sure there is possibly a mix of Manned and ET flown UFO's, I am sure we have managed to backward engineer some of their tech and are flitting about the earth causing a stir. I also put some belief in abductions and stories of alien sightings.

It seems to me that people associate UFO's with aliens simply due to the fact that they do not understand the technology behind the flying vehicles seen in the skies. I'm sure that most of these UFO sightings have some kind of connection with humans and not beings from another planet. I do believe there's life out there, but why travel thousands or millions of light years to hang around and check on humans? Wouldn't you think they would have something better to do?

Because you (not you specifically, although maybe, but you in the general meaning) are trained by now that when you think UFO, you think alien. And when you think alien, you think of a UFO. I take a page from Ms. Leslie Kean's book. I try to use the term UAP, and, as I have been since I started exploring the subject, am still on the fence, or agnostic, as Kean uses. Do I believe? Yes, how could you not, especially now that we can prove that just about every star has multiple planets orbiting it. To say nothing of the fact that we still have unexplained cases where the evidence provides for craft that are doing things no earthly craft, so far revealed, can do - i.e. 90-degree turns, incredible bursts of speed, etc. Here is where I start to sound like my man Stan Friedman, in that I believe there are EBEs visiting, maybe 1 percent or less of reported UAPs, and they are just kind of waiting for us to get our $#(! together, before they come down and say, "Hello!" Of course, I also agree with, Dr. Miko Kaichu (sp?), that if there were bad aliens capable of getting here, they would have made their move before we got to 7 billion-plus inhabitants, and taken what they needed/wiped us out.

First off, if you seen something that looked strange and were making strange movements and *FLASH* sped off quickly up and out of view where do think that 'ufo' is going? Obviously somewhere into space. Thus saying two thing it is either 'alien' or it is some kind of gov't craft use to go up to the ISS or satelite craft...
...So to put it bluntly if you see disappear into the sky chances are its ET. I'm not sure if I buy the whole 'muti deminsional' stuff. So IMHO it can only be three things.
1. Alien Craft/Technology
2. Gov't craft
3. Muti Demimsional craft/Beings
Two of those would still be Alien, so to answer your question, it makes it highly plausible with a 2/3 sitiuation.
Then again some people think of them as time farring beings to I.E time travelers. Still that would make them alien because they do not exist in our realm of space and time making them alien because they are not of this planet, space, time configuration.
This is all my opinion nothing is factual because as far as we know there may not be any aliens visiting Earth at all I.E no proof of them being here.

I think its because for a long time maybe hundreds of years people have imagined beings from another world arriving here in space crafts. It because part of popular fiction. So from an early age we see it on TV and in films.
Now whenever anyone sees something in the sky they cant instantly explain they think aliens!!

If even 1% of the accounts prove to be true on eye witness accounts then there is your answer. Like a snowball it gathers momentum and other sightings, including those of contact with ET, throw in the cover-ups and that again is your answer.
If every sighting was accepted as alien then there would be no sceptics and there are more of those than believers, experiencers.

Its not
No eyewitness account has ever and will never be proven as the truth,as fact. So why even consider it as a viable source. It doesn't matter who you are ,if there is any ability to fabricate it, it must be thrown out.
There goes our legal system then. Don't you Americans have people on death row based on eyewitness accounts? I can't believe that eyewitness evidence in court is good enough to kill a man and yet people happily dismiss it as evidence for UFOs. What the...?
