If another civilisation from another galaxy had the technology to visit earth, their technology would be so advanced the craft would not crash. I don't buy this crashed space craft senario such as Roswell. I have an open mind to the possibility that we have been visited, but as yet no body has proved it.

I agree with Observer that a UFO 'would not crash'. In my opinion, seeing the words 'UFO' and 'crash' in the same sentence usually indicates that the rest of the story can be safely ignored. The Roswell incident was an attempt to use a bogus UFO story to cover a secret high-altitude balloon device that came down during a storm. The cover story spun out of control when people demanded more information about this event which never actually happened.
I believe a similar situation happened with the 'Kecksburg UFO Incident' of December 9, 1965. This was a Soviet Venera 4 atmospheric probe that re-entered the atmosphere and did crash. However, it was identified. The government agencies who were responsible for hauling it away did not use a UFO as a cover story. They did not have to because average citizens did this for them.
I also cringe when I read of a UFO 'getting lost' or 'confused' which, to me, also seems unlikely.
I believe that an advanced civilization is some how able to manipulate time-space to cross dimensions. The device resembling the classic UFO may also be a physical manifestation for human benefit. Humans are more likely to interact with something that appears as 'nuts & bolts' than with something that exists but cannot be seen. Humans tend more toward 'seeing is believing' because they are dealing with four dimensions. But, more often than not, what we are 'seeing' are the side-effects of the phenomenon - like residual radiation, burn marks, indentations, traumatized witnesses, dead animals, sudden change in temperature, paranoia, electrified atmosphere, etc.
Solving the mystery of the Rendlesham incident will require us to accept the probability that the phenomenon is beyond current human comprehension. As far as crashes, ball lighting, light houses, and space debris, these explanations would be welcome on the Roswell forums.
