UFOs for the most part, come from inside the human mind.  We are dependent upon our senses for detecting things, and our brains for interpreting them.  Whether or not you know it, or admit it, most of your thoughts are interpretations of data your body has made for the sake of convenience.  However, we are an entirely unreliable source of factual data.

 But this is taking us into Psychology, and we wish to learn about Astronomy. We are intrigued by the possibility of other inhabited worlds, and guess what?  They may wish to meet us, enslave us, breed with us, and take our women or worse yet, our Cadbury bars!

 That said, there are at least two other sources for UFOs to originate.  The first one is earth, of course.  We can see clouds, aircraft, glare, shadows, lights, and reflections -almost anything that could be unidentified- up there in the sky.

 The second source is space.  Aside from meteors, spacecraft, and satellites mistaken for air ships of distant visitors, many people are convinced UFOs have visited earth from another world.   Given that there are at least 10,000 human made objects orbiting earth, and given our tendency to be a litterbug species, some objects could occasionally flit across your field of vision.

 But also in space, from much, much farther abroad, there could be travelers from another dimension.  FTLT, faster than light travel, would have to employ wormholes, unknown dimensions, or technology we have not yet grasped, much less mastered.   There are many quality articles on Helium that deal with string theory, transporters, and so on, to address the physics of these ideas.

 Have UFOs come to take a peek at our little blue marble?  Setting aside motivations, as we simply would not know them, and imagining for the moment that one of the incomprehensible methods of their arrival is being utilized, where are they from, and where are they at right now?   There are as many answers as there are galaxies, out there.

 Some have theorized perhaps they are close relatives that escaped before one of Earth's many mass extinctions.  Perhaps technology progressed to a point where we previously mismanaged our resources, and the very dangerous thing that knowledge is.  Perhaps we annihilated ourselves, but some rocket scientist types got out ahead of time.  Then there is the theory that they are related to the same exogenesis species
