Its unsurprising that its all likely human origin, particularly the testing of advanced aircraft the military is developing.
The double sided coin is these are the kinds of articles that UFO folks expect to see: rational arguments against their own that paint them as "true believers".
While I personally do not believe the US government, or any government entity, is holding onto any advanced extra-terrestrial secrets of any nature, largely due to how poorly secrets can be kept, especially over time, things always find their way out one way or another.
I do think the government didn't do itself any favors on messaging that fuels so much of the conspiracy thinking around it in the US.
I will say, I wish we spent more money on probing space for extraterrestrial civilizations. It would be a massive game changer, and I'm personally okay with the inherent risks.

It's the only thing they have to try to reduce or obscure information about aircraft that occasionally are observed when they aren't supposed to be public knowledge.
