Answering seriously for a moment, I think there is an explanation for this.
If these UFOs are from an extraterrestrial intelligence, isn’t it likely that they are robotic probes rather than manned(?) spacecraft. Something relatively small and simple that could travel here at close to light speed and investigate, then send information back to the home world. If the main alien spacecraft is on its way, it could take decades or more to get here.
The probes would have been despatched in the early 20th Century, as a response to the aliens detecting electromagnetic transmissions coming from Earth for the first time. Hence they started being observed in the ‘30s and ‘40s.

Although the Wife and myself once visited Cleethorpes and we only stayed for a short time and left very fast.
Small lightweight scout drones. They return regularly to the main scout ship stationed just outside the solar system, for refuelling and maintenance. The scout ship is sending intelligence back to the main fleet which is much slower moving and still decades away.
Trickier in the case of Cleethorpes. I guess you’d need a fast RIB back to the ferry stationed in Hull, and then make a choice between another run into Cleethorpes or hope for more luck in Skegness.
