So I carefully watched the video at <https://www.zdnet.com/video/every-uap-video-released-by-the-u-s-department-of-war-in-14-minutes/>.
ItrCOs amazing that the most advanced military force in the world, with
the whole range of electronic surveillance measures at their disposal,
could be baffled by a few random lights in the sky.

The basic problem is, the recording equipment is designed for target acquisition in a battle situation, not for scientific observation.
There is no detail on how the equipment is calibrated, so we have no
idea what the image brightness levels mean. Has a particular
phenomenon ever been captured from more than one viewpoint at a time?
Were they seen from any of the other vehicles that appear in some of
the records? That would give us a better idea of how far away it was.
Because I suspect a lot of these phenomena are quite close -- inside
the equipment, in fact. Many of them are artifacts, bugs in the
processing system.

Look at the sequence from 12:34 onwards: one bright dot is drifting
around as itrCOs tracked, but itrCOs instructive to compare it against
another nearby which stays absolutely fixed in the view. Both of them
get affected as they pass too close to one of those windmill-like
objects, even though the fixed one might happen to be in front in some
cases, not behind. How can an object that is moving through the scene
be kept so perfectly in position in the camera? It canrCOt.

If they were clear, the aerial phenomena would not be unidentified.

Thinking rationally about UAPs involves evaluating two probabilities:
A: That intelligent beings from another world would be watching us
B: That smartass beings from this world would want us to believe A
