Yes, but looking at 'trace evidence' cases, and studies of
close-encounter witnesses seems to show there's at least two
catch-22s involved.

First, many UFOs are surrounded by, or emanate, strong e.m
fields, including hard radiation. So the sense-organs of a
close-encounter witness could be influenced. And if the witness
has had multiple sightings, further effects might be anticipated
or suspected.

Second, studies of witnesses seem to show character change
following a close encounter. Witnesses will say "It's changed my
life/the way I think" - another 'catch-22' for an investigator.
