Is it possible that many astronomers are funded for their research? In my ONE sighting I learned my lesson about telling people I saw a UFO. My own family thinks I am nuts, many of my friends say things like "can I get what you were smoking" etc... MY girlfriend will barely talk to ME about what we saw because her friends and family reacted the same way as mine. Imagine the crap someone with credentials and getting funding to study stars would get. Most likely all funds would be cut off and he/she would lose their job. Pilots rarely report these things for that reason.
