Pentagon confirms leaked photos and video of UFOs are legitimate

Note that by "legitimate" they mean "actually taken by Navy personnel," not "actually alien spacecraft."

In this particular case the media UFO hype machine seems to have discovered a case of bokeh[0].

These are not aliens. Media love to insinuate that they are because it gets clicks. (or even outright say they are aliens)

And those videos could not have been produced to get clicks?

The guy talks about geometry but makes assumptions that reinforce his beliefs. And yea, one you make an assumption that you worked out to support your theory then you can also work it out the other way around to "prove" your theory.

I'm not following. What did Dr Mason say that is wrong? What assumptions are you talking about?

Everyone one of these videos guesses for some values need to be made since the readouts on the display are missing information you would need to be certain of speed of the object.

The values you use can make the object seem ordinary or extraordinary. Once you set the values for your desired outcome you can present your case any way you wish and the numbers will just work out the way you wanted them to.

The numbers are in the video itself. Neither Dr Mason nor you get to chose what numbers to use.

The more people that are thinking "UFO!", the less people are thinking "what's that aircraft?"

Like everyone else, I was initially skeptical when I first heard about these supposed "UFOs". However, in the face of all these observations from government agencies, I've been wavering a bit. Is there any reasonable chance these objects actually are extraterrestrial in origin? If not, what can they be? Drones? Experimental aircraft? If so, who is making them?

Why would UFOs imply extraterrestrial origin? It's the least likely explanation for them being there by a wide margin. They're just unidentified flying objects, in the literal sense of the acronym.

wouldn't it be funny that they allocate funding for UAP only to realize that its aircraft from another department, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidentified_Aerial_Phenomena_...

I see we may have underestimated China.

If China has this level of tech then I would have expected them to have taken Taiwan already.
