Government secrets? Or just another conspiracy theory.

True.

But why is it only in the last hundred or so years are they now just getting 'sighted'? I don't think they have any 'sightings' from before aircrafts were invented, or at least don't know of any recorded possible findings.

Actually, there has been loads of sightings. They only 'recently' (60 years) got all this new attention when some US pilot saw 7 things near some mountains when he was flying. He described them as 'skipping like saucers' or something along the lines of that. But theres been many reports before that, theres a weird painting from germany in like the 1600s, which alot of witnesses saw. Of an apparent battle in the skies . Also, you could say that accounts of 'flying chariots' etc were UFOs, since that was they would see them as. Also, there are alot of ancient tribes, who on their drawings have some pretty weird shit. Like things that look like astronauts, drawings made in the sand that can ONLY be seen from above! (No cliffs/mountains nearby, no stuff to get in air etc). And one of these things this tribe in south america made in the sand, looks alot like an airfield! lol. Pretty interesting stuff, if you want to learn more google 'ancient aliens' or something along the lines of that!
