This episode clearly demonstrates the idiocy of the genre. They see a couple of lights in the night sky and immediately claim "it's too bright, too high and too fast to be an airplane". Of course, this is total nonsense because those are three variables, each of which, you cannot determine without knowing the other two.
A 5-watt nightlight seen at two feet may appear brighter than a 1,000 watt bulb at two miles. A single engine prop plane at 500 feet may appear to be moving faster than a 747 at 35,000 feet because the further an object is from the viewpoint, the farther it has to travel to traverse the arc of your vision.
Perhaps the dumbest part of the entire argument is the obvious assumption that "UFO" means extraterrestrial, when in reality, the only thing "UFO" means is that "we don't know what it was"!
I wonder how many of these folks also believe we never landed on the moon?
If you want to watch this stuff, just take it for comedic value because that is all that it is!
