According to the "Occam's Razor"[2], explanation of any obscure phenomena we should look with the known laws of science and the search until, until the confidence, that it is absolutely impossible to perform.
That was the start. From a philosophical point of view, for an explanation of any experience, events or facts we can construct an infinite number of hypotheses. You can always offer more and more theoretically possible explanations for any phenomenon. Really, in ufology is, there are about fifty of hypotheses and assumptions at the expense of the origin of UFOs, But ufologists prefer very small number of, which is reduced around the bush aliens (some of them even have not heard anything about the available alternative hypotheses UFO, other than as "extraterrestrial"). Below I will try to list all of the most vivid and compelling hypothesis, widely discussed in academic circles and UFO. This list is, I hope, broaden your understanding of the depth and breadth of possible approaches to solving the UFO UFOs. So, unidentified flying objects, it:
Wipe your eyes. The hypothesis of conservative science, automatically rejects all new, explains the UFO phenomenon sincere eyewitness errors, There is a known physical phenomena, but were not able to identify:
and) technogenic activity of earthlings (missile launches, Satellites, Air probes, surveillance aircraft, Helicopter, balloons, etc.);
would) natural phenomena (Moon, Star, Planet, fireballs, aurora polaris, mirage, refraction of light rays, etc.).

"Chinese lantern" — Paper flying luminous structure of the paper, stretched over a light wooden frame. Flies on the principle of balloon, used as a wedding attributes, etc.. With the growing popularity in Ukraine in recent years, "China's torch" is very often mistaken for a strange flying objects |
In practice, very often what happens: for some reason or circumstances, UFOs are often mistaken for ordinary things. Among the champions, contributing to confusion in the UFO reports, often appear: Venus, aircraft, "Chinese lanterns" and other attributes of the flying public holidays, meteorological phenomena in the lower atmosphere, etc.. (see, for example, A.F. Pop gun, To. And. Churyumov "Heaven without miracles", Kiev, "Politizdat Ukraine", 1987).
Joke. The hypothesis combines various hoaxer, adventurers, Journalists and human, inclined to draw. Hypothesis, that UFOs - a product of the journalists was engaged or anecdote, that is on everyone's lips - do not hold water, but, nevertheless, episodes occur in practice, When wishful thinking. This is very clearly seen in the so-called "meadow phenomenon".
Delirium tremens. These eyewitness accounts are credited with mental health issues, and hallucinations, characteristic of chronic alcohol lovers, drug addicts, and hallucinations, arise for other reasons. Unfortunately, hallucinations so often can not be peculiar to people of certain professions (pilots, Seafarers, police ...), UFO watchers but with almost the same frequency, that all other.
Delusion. This term refers to an illusory awareness of reality, due at any given time constraints of socio-historical practice. Exactly, I think, only the "error" can not explain the lack of "UFO phenomenon", and misconceptions about it (see, for example, E.Tribis "Handbook of the greatest human error ', Moscow "AST", 2002).
