    Well yea. Failing to identifying what it actually is makes it unreasonable to say it’s not an alien craft.

      That’s debatable. Are you saying that a closed box has an equal chance to contain an alien than any other object? Is it reasonable to say there is a chance that any closed box is containing an alien? I would say the answer is no.

        That’s a weird way to phrase a question. It’s unknown. Being unknown it could be remote controlled, secret, or not of this world. What is in there? Only who or what is inside would know.

          You are suggesting that any flying object, prior to identification, can reasonably be suggested to be of alien origin?

          I’m saying that it is unreasonable, because we currently have no evidence to suggest that any flying object has been of alien origin. There is no evidence of land based objects with alien origin. There has been no hard evidence in the history of human record to suggest that even a single thing on Earth has ever been linked to extra-terrestrial intelligence.

          Yet, you are saying that it’s completely reasonable to suggest that any flying object that is yet to be identified by one or more observers has any likelihood of being of alien origin.

          By extension you have to admit then that any object (whether flying or not), while unidentified, could reasonably be suspected of being of alien origin. So whatever is in that box could be extra terrestrial.
