"It remains the case that some UFO-related encounters have weird parallels in ancient folklore and shamanic experience..." Could the biblical accounts of angelic encounters be an example of these? The first thing an angel says when it appears in the bible is "Fear not," so I'd imagine they're rather alarming. I remember looking at some Orthodox Christian icons of angels and noticing how spooky they looked. The thought that came to mind was "they look extraterrestrial," and a moment later I thought "which, in fact, they are!" https://th.bing.com/th?id=OPHS.1NfwlsxGB45%2fmQ474C474&w=200&h=220&c=17&dpr=1.6&pid=21.1
