I recently read Jacques Vallees classic book on the subject: Passport to Magonia. In it, he makes a compelling case for UFO and alien encounters being a modern re-framing of paranormal events and encounters with "Fantasy" beings from the past (Fairies, Goblins and the like). Instead of Fairy-Lights, goblins and will-o-the-whisps, people are interpreting these phenomena to be Alien spacecraft and their inhabitants. The specific similarites he highlights between historic accounts of encounters with these paranormal folk and those of modern UFO and alien encounters are quite startling to say the least and reading this book has definitely changed my perspective on the whole UFO phnomenon. Even though I don't agree with everything in the book, I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the UFO phenomenon.
