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. this video [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] [LINK] Bob Lazar debunk: [LINK]
At least those videos [1] are just birds, see for example this analysis [2]. Skip to the meat of it, if you dislike the style of the video. [1] [LINK] [2] this video
This video argues that the object was probably just a bird, and the apparent speed was a result of parallax. Seems more plausible than the alternatives. this video
It is obvious to any expert that these are not space aliens. that makes the question of why the Navy is hyping them even more interesting. this video
These are not aliens. Media love to insinuate that they are because it gets clicks. (or even outright say they are aliens) this video [LINK] [LINK]
