Sadly still there's not one shred of evidence of alien life
500 years ago, it was an "extraordinary" claim, that the earth wasn't flat. And the guys promoting the idea, that the earth was round, couln't rely on witness accounts, photos, videos or anything like that.

I would say the reason for people largely ignoring these documents are several.
1. They are old.
2. Very few pictures(no proof)
3. Most of the material only offer a short writeup of a supposed sighting of something they cannot identify(could be anything) from some random person with no backround check (may be a known prankster/attention whore)
4. The clearer of a discription of the object given, the easier to imagine it to be something natural it becomes. Like the us coast guard one, exact discription of a ball lightning.
5. After getting disappointed in looking at 5 different sightings, most ppl usually give up.

Related to UFO sightings. I am in the area of New Brunswick, Canada. Tonight at 9:00pm on a very foggy day the atmosphere became very bright and yellow, which slowly transitioned to pink, purple, green, and etc. After the bright color scheme was over, the sky went pitch black. In the last while, there has been many sudden flashes, resembling something brightly appearing with a flash and dissipating while moving in a downward direction. Hours before this, during the initial color changes, I received a message from a friend indicating that "something has arrived from the sky". I talked to him, and he elaborated that he saw a brightness come from the sky and fill the horizon, which created the initial "bright-out". We discussed the entire phenomenon, but I'm posting it here, because this thread seems related, and I cannot create a thread yet. New member, and I hope this is not off topic since it is a contribution to sightings.

In the final analysis it seems to me that the best place for this stuff is an easily accessible, searchable location that requires the least work. In other words, a web site. And, of course, it's already there. So if the idea is to make a better site than the one it is on now, that means a very different project and skill set than the idea of grabbing that stuff off of the existing site. So I think some clarification of intent is necessary here. What is the end result you would like to see and how will that help?

I see what you mean... no nice PDF format and very slow loading a file you want through their viewer. That will take a long time to wade through
