Any report that cites the navy videos from last year is not going to be very interesting. [this video] Videos of blurry splotches and eye witness testimony that repeats the word "technology" over and over to imply that unlike the last 6, _this_ blurry splotch is an alien spacecraft is really just annoying at this point. EDIT: Hey judge2020 did you watch Dr Mason's analysis I linked above? It's very informative and pretty entertaining too. I'll take your downvote as a no.

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

Critical sthnblllII · 2021-05 · on “UFOs shows government competence as either surprisingly high or low”

That is simply not true. Here are the explanations for all three at a middle school level. There is literally nothing interesting in those videos and interpreting them as evidence as Extraterrestrial Aliens is simply inexcusable at this point. [this video]

Critical oceanghost · 2021-07 · on “UFOs: 'These objects show physics we don't understand'”

I've said it once, I'll say it again-- these videos are all explained and all have been debunked. This is most likely a advertisement for the US Military's ability to track very small things such as drones. If there are videos of things that might be alien-- these are not them.
