None of you have any idea, and neither do I.
Anything paranormal is often full of people who are way too credulous - that is true, however one the other side you have the naive realist camp, who deny the exist of anything not fitting into their exceptionally narrow field of experience.
Nonsense on both counts, you are better off simply saying "I don't know", because you don't.
Of course none of us know for sure, but we can make some decent guesses based on science/evidence we already have. I know Statyk is a sane, rather intelligent human being and he saw what he saw, but I'm almost entirely certain it can be rationalized as something other than spaceman.
