I went back and checked out the three sightings you described, because I wanted to understand what you meant when you said you had corroboration for the first one. I'm not dismissing your experiences, but there's a pretty big difference between finding other reports that sound similar and having independent corroboration of your actual sighting.
People see lights in the sky they can't identify all the time. Distance, perspective, atmospheric conditions, lack of reference points, and the simple difficulty of judging an unfamiliar object in the sky can make ordinary things difficult to identify. So finding other people who also reported unidentified lights doesn't automatically make the reports extraordinary.
The later NUFORC reports you point to are interesting, but one was roughly five months later and about 250 miles away. There's no way to establish that those witnesses saw the same "objects" you did, so calling that corroboration is stretching the term. At most, it shows that other people reported something similar.
And even if we grant all of that, where exactly does ET enter the picture? That's the leap I fail to understand.
