Why Hacker News points people here: Used by skeptics in UFO threads as a debunking of the Navy pilot videos.

“a decent overview of it”
I think we’re going to discover that the people operating these sophisticated instruments aren’t properly trained on how to handle anomalies in their data. One of them was simply an out of focus nightvision system with a triangle focal ring. The tic tac video is most likely a large sea bird and the fighter pilots didn’t properly understand how parallax at high zooms looked. This YouTube video is pretty snarky but it’s a decent overview of it. this video
“these videos are all explained and all have been debunked”
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. link link link this video link Bob Lazar debunk: link
