Well that’s two. Some people think the rotation in the gimbal video might be caused by image stabilization but that doesn’t explain the object itself or the commentary about there being a fleet of them. The cockpit photos are also unexplained. The video of the object that was supposedly one of dozens swarming a navy group is unexplained. The events surrounding the tic tac are also unexplained. Not saying it’s aliens but there’s a lot of weird shit happening around military assets that needs serious explaining.

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. https://youtu.be/VCH7BWGpl5s https://youtu.be/VCH7BWGpl5s

  I think you’re talking about the gofast video which is not the tictac or “flir” video from 2004. Gofast and gimbal were from 2014 and 2015.

Since all of this material was published together and is coming from the same sources, I think even just a few of the videos being debunked damns the rest of it. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link. I am confident they are lying about those two videos, and that gives me good reason to doubt everything else they've published even if I can't find the tell-tale flaws in the other material. The way I see it, the pilots are lying, probably as part of a special 'retirement plan' of getting book deals pandering to kooks. The US Navy on the other hand is being cagey, making statements that might technically be true but deeply misleading[0], and aren't directly contradicting the pilots. My guess is the USN decided these pilots' lies serve the Navy's interests as well. [0] Navy claims the GoFast video is: "Subject Area: UAV, Balloons and other UAS" ... well it's a balloon, so they're 'not lying'...
