I can guess because it some logical given peoples willingness too see what they want too see(or what they believe they saw). And my belief is based upon an analytical view of the UFO phenomena.
Example one- Kenneth Arnold's sighting: He reports crescent shaped craft which were misreported as saucer shaped. Since then the great majority of sightings have been of round saucer like objects. The half crescent I don't believe has been seen since.
Example two- Roswell Incident: An incident that was reported to the public by the military and then denied by the military. I find it hard to believe that the military would accidentally(as has been suggested)devulge the capture of a "flying disk".

Really, is it a fact what someone claimed they saw? You'll find that while eye witness evidence maybe the highest form of evidence in a court of law, it is the lowest form of evidence in scientific investigation. And even in the court of law, eye witness testimony is deminishing in importance due to the fact that multiple studies have cast doubt on its credibility.
Of course perhaps they did see something, though they may not be accurate in describing that information or discerning what they actually saw. And please remember that this is just my opinion. I'm not trying to challenge anyone, just maybe give you something to think about.
Another thing is.
Why would a far more advanced alien species be interested in a little planet with a species on it that can barely get of the ground? (from their point of view)
I have a good reason as I dabble in the alternate history/religion scene but aside from that any reason at all? we think far more of ourselves then we should. we're barely crawling out of our shell and we act like we know everything. so again why would they care?

If aliens are visiting earth, you don't know them, you don't know their culture or their motives. Don't pretend you understand them.
Making assumptions on alien behaviour based on human life just won't work.
