Yes I see why that might seem confusing.

The signature quote is Shakespeare, as you are probably aware. I like it because what he is really saying is that we should be careful not to attempt to constrict the vastness of the unknown ("heaven and earth") into the narrow confines of our conscious mental constructs ("philosophy"). Theories (conspiracy or otherwise) fall into this realm...they are mental contructs. The great things of the universe cannot be understood or appreciated by the linear and logical conscious mind.

So while lots of people may have seen uneplained lights in the sky....I say so what? You don't have any proof...in fact no one does. So what if they are space ships? So what if they are natural phenomenon? It makes no difference to your life or mine. None at all. To try to explain them as 'alien space ships' is ridiculous. I think people who are desperate to do this are lacking something in their personal lives.
