Does God manage more than one property? Explain why or why not. Over the centuries in many cultures there have often been sightings, drawings and abductions. What do you think? Is there a connection?

If God is a construct of how mankind views a supreme existence, and UFO's are a construct of how we percieve the existence of life outside the boundaries of the known realm which we know life exists; then why wouldn't they both exist simultaneously.
You're correct that there have been many depictions in a variety of cultures throughout man's recorded presence upon Earth, but what man calls God, has also had a multitude of names and faces.
If God exists, and he created mankind, and mankind has created the machines which we use daily to travel across our planet, to the moon, and beyond. It seems to be that other beings which God, or perhaps another God that 'manages other property' would also create machines which would accomplish similar tasks.
Maybe the Universe itself is God, and we are just a singular cell of a mighty living organism.

I don't understand what the existence (or nonexistence) of God has to do with the existence (or nonexistence) of other sentient beings.
To me, the first question is, "Is there a planet somewhere in the Milky Way galaxy capable of supporting the evolution of sentient beings?" The answer to this question is almost certainly "yes".
The second question is, "Will they notice us or will we notice them?" The answer is almost certainly "maybe".
So far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist.
Why haven't we heard from them?
Perhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance.
Perhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that just flew by may be a surveillance craft.
Perhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa.
Perhaps they existed a million years ago and died out.
Perhaps they will exist a million years from now.
It is really impossible to know for sure.
The Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

Because God exists, the existence of other life forms is entirely possible. It is presumptuous of us to assume we know the mind of God and have any inkling about His intent or plan. Hey, it's a big universe.
So, expanding on this, yes, there could be a logical connection between the God and UFOs. The miracle of the creation may not have been limited to this planet we live on. It's dawn here and as the sun rises, I am led to wondering how many other similar planets someone (or somethng!)is watching the sun (or suns) rise.

I just recently heard from an old and very wise man, that our Universe is 1/49 part of all existing Universes. Look at a picture of Saturn with our little world together, for instance. And see for yourself how small we are, only then! Can you really except the idea, that we are all alone here? An ant is probably thinking that way, when he looks up to our legs!!

No, if God exist He would not allow us to believe UFOs exist and I would completely agree with Him.

God is a Fig Newton of your imagination. UFOs are slightly more plausible, but not by much.

Yes in the vast universe there is other life I think if there wasn't then God wouldn't have made it so big.

those are two totally different matters...the existence of one does not prove or disprove the other

They exist if you believe they exit.
I don't believe they do, but that's just me.
