The most amazing thing always associated with UFO’s are lights. Did it ever dawn on anyone that if they had the superior technology to make it here from some other star or galaxy that they also would have the ability to see in the dark without lights?

I mean we sub-creatures managed to do it with a set of goggles!

Maybe they're the equivalent of alien low riders or tuners. Trying to "turn heads" or "make a statement" or some such.

Or they could have been banned from their home world(s) because they had flamboyant tendencies. "Our lights are f a b u l o u s"

I think the most likely explanation, based on human experience, is there's some alien bureaucracy that mandates consipicuous visible lighting any time a craft is within so many miles of a planetary surface.

I’m still waiting for an explanation of these lights...

” they also would have the ability to see in the dark without lights?”

Maybe they weren’t just simple lights?
