BBC: UFO hit by hellfire, no impact on vehicle & flying away

UFOs came a long way in the last 70 years or so. Started with saucer shaped crafts that housed biological aliens to drone like crafts. Can't wait to see how their tech advances in the next 20 years.

You're more correct than you think. Before the saucers, it was "phantom rockets" and "phantom airships" and sky boats.

For some reason (which can't possibly just be that it's just folklore) UFOs always seem to manifest as whatever the current culture considers to be "futuristic."

And before that it was spooky owls and magic animals.
