Thunderf00t goes through the three UFO videos released by the Pentagon and offers mundane explanations for each. He treats the footage as sensor artifacts, parallax and camera effects rather than alien craft.

Why Hacker News points people here: HN commenters use it as the go-to debunking of the Navy UFO videos, though one commenter also praises it as entertaining.

“It's very informative and pretty entertaining too.”

Informative and entertaining analysis of the navy videos

Full comment

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.

Explains the three Pentagon UFO videos at a simple level

Full comment

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

Debunks the Pentagon UFO videos

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 this video link link Bob Lazar debunk: link
