It's interesting how phenomena can be seen or explained differently depending on the time period or culture they are observed in. An example would be UFOs.
In times past, strange lights and mysterious disappearances were blamed on fairy folk. The phenomenon of missing time that alien abductees report has similarities with the tales of the fairy realm having a different flow of time than the human realm. If you look into the fairy lore there are a lot of similarities between fairy activity and UFOs and extraterrestrials.
So, is this the same phenomenon but seen through different eyes? If it's the same phenomenon then which is it: fairies or aliens? Or none of the above?
Something that I find particularly interesting is that now we seem to be looking back over our legends and inserting UFOs and ETs in order to explain the strange occurrences told of in those tales. This isn't confined to only legends either, but to history as a whole. Ancient astronaut theorists have long pointed at the strange events of history and blamed extraterrestrial influences when in the past these events would have been blamed on fairies, angels, deities, or spirits.
I suppose what I'm getting at is this: We view things through the lens of the time period. How will we look back on such unexplained phenomena in a hundred years?
