A UFO is an unidentified flying object, not necessarily ET.
Even "if" the key players at the Pentagon all believe these were alien crafts, it still does not mean that it is the case.
It could be a faulty camera or even an aircraft from another country. 
What is more likely that most Pentagon employees do not have clearance access to all of the top-secret project -  so It is often the US military themselves that see their own crafts that are in classified testing phases. 
If Trump has any influence at the Pentagon, he is probably pushing it as a conspiracy theory to get more simpleton votes. He has already promised to reveal all about aliens if he wins the election.
The distance and clarity of these videos are unclear, and the light could easily influence them.

Right, let me get this straight.

A) Trump is likely creating a conspiracy. BUT according to you conspiracies do not exist. 

Result - Only Trump creates and fuels conspiracies. 

B) The US military are so dumb that they not only reveal their top secret aircraft to the world but then investigate their own aircraft as unknown and allow for the media to report on it.

Result - Top secret projects can be outed by different branches of the military that are not involved with them.  The group running the project has no means to communicate with and deter investigations by other branches of military that stumble upon these projects.

C) UFO doesn't mean alien.

Result - Wow, you think?

D) Light refraction causes radar, IR tracking and B&W video to capture the same object/s at the same time. While life-long military pilots visually confirm the siting of tracked solid objects and the effects the object's propulsion system have on the surrounding environment. That some amazing light.

Result - Radar is now able to be confused by a new form of light that reflects radio waves similarly to how solid objects do. You need to report this startling new phenomenon. It is likely the greatest scientific discovery of the 21st century. Also, trained observers that are psycometrically tested by military and entrusted with machinery worth hundreds of millions of dollars are subject to mass hallucinations. Hallucinations that are then confirmed by the best tracking systems known but which are coincidentally faulty at the exact moment the hallucinations occur. Makes total sense. 

D) These supposed vehicles are man made. 

Result - Another massive scientific breakthrough. Humanity has figured out how to generate or manipulate gravitational waves. Propulsion that gives off no heat signature. Gone are the days of fossil fuels. 

E) Aircraft from another country.

Result - Let's assume it's China or Russia. One of these craft could destroy the US Navy's entire fleet. Tracked speeds are in ranges of 80 000ft per <1sec. The equivalent of taking a Superhornet back to the 1200s. America's enemies have these craft but are pretending that they don't while sitting on the technology because it'll obviously be just as big an advantage once the US have the same capability and can fight back on an even playing field. Again, makes total sense to nullify one's own strategic advantage. 

Quite funny how for someone claiming conspiracies don't exist, you need to rely so heavily on conspiracy and illogical speculative leaps in order to explain what is happening.

I see that you have now fully disbanded the alt right media conspiracy explanation for this. Great, that's progress.

Considering the leaps you've made above it seems that you are thinking more emotionally than rationally. 

Put your emotions aside for a second.

Consider that in just our galaxy, there are 40 billion planets the right distance from their sun to maintain water in liquid form. 

Consider further that earth is only 4 billion years old while the universe is said to be 9 billion years older than that. A civilisation travelling at 1/10th the speed of light could colonise the entire galaxy in only 100 000 years. 

Consider the leap in human technology over only the last 200 years. 

Now ask yourself this one simple question...

How, in the face virtually infinite potential, are you able to place limits on what is possible?

Conspiracies do exist, you are proof of that.
A newspaper could publish a false article. The article still exists, even if it is contents are false. Some people will believe the contents. 

Most conspiracies are not real-  artificial constructs to fill in gaps in understanding. The conspiracy contains a lot of data points, but many of these have not confirmed independently as facts, or have been intentionally manipulated to look convincing. 

Bill Gates wanting to murder 80% of the world is an example. That is just manipulated data from Bill Gates when he warned that the poorest countries in the world have the fastest-growing populations and how population growth is exceeding an increase in wealth. It is totally dishonest to make up such nonsense, but some people thrive on it. 

You are assuming all the claims within the articles are true. For example, the speed of the vehicles or whatever it is shown in the photos- could be totally inaccurate. All it takes is one piece of data to be wrong, and the construct does not add up. 

With so many planets, of course there is a chance there is other life, but that does not mean they are here.
Have you ever heard of the Prime Directive in Star Trek? They avoid contact with any life that has developed technology but has not yet reached warp drive capability. The reason is to not interfere with natural evolution and development and change the power balance. If need be, the civilisation should be allowed to destroy themselves if there is too much conflict within them. 

A planet like the earth has so many weapons,  the Prime Directive would deem life here is not civilized enough to own technology that would allow them to travel across the galaxy.  It would be a new guns market for your pal Trump. 

The problem with your arguments and a conspiracy, in general, is that it is based on many data points which are not proven facts- with too much speculation and assumptions. Too many "ifs" is unscientific to accept as facts.

Conspiracy and conspiracy theories are not the same thing.

Data points?

Ok, between your assessment of the situation and the data from the situation itself, which do you think is missing the most data points?

By your own reasoning, your argument is vastly inferior to the one that the evidence is suggesting.

Are you able to see that?
No? OK, then state some of your data and how you are leaning it against what is available. $uddenyly you find that you have no data. Only an emotional response to something that you don't understand and seem afraid to confront. For real, I'm interested, what are your data points?

"With so many planets, of course, there is a chance there is another life, but that does not mean they are here."
It also doesn't mean that they/it are not.
"Too many "ifs" is unscientific to accept as facts."

Now read through this and the many other threads. You will see that you rely on waaaay more "ifs".

"If Trump conspiracy...""If system error...""If broken data points...""If hallucination..."
"If alt-right lies...""If Prime Directive haha..."
$ee? You don't hold your argument to the same standard as what you demand from the other side.

Now, why do you think that is?
I have to use $ for "s" as my capital "s" isn't working for some reason. lol

Ayling, have you told the Pentagon UFO group the story of you and your mom and your interstellar travel? I'm sure they'd be fascinated. 

At least send them the photo of the hubcap that's not really a hubcap but a very clear photo of a real UFO.

"If" assumption ABC is true, AND "if" assumption DFG is true, AND if, AND if" , AND if" only then must the improbable be true. 
For example, who verified that that tiny object is going 30,000 miles per hour above the sea. If it was not that fast, then suddenly the theory sounds much less convincing. 
"Where" was "who" is the person talking in the background - saying look how fast it is going? It appears very far away, like miles high in the sky. No clouds given the camera would be so high? 
Is he in a stationary position watching this? Was this a pilot that just happens to have a device that can measure speed into 30,000 miles per hour while relaxing drinking a diet coke watching the alien fly by- much faster than anything on earth. 
If that vehicle can fly 30,000 miles per hour - how can that person's camera be able to see the ship for so long? They would have to be extremely far away to keep them from within the left to right of the screen area. Or the pilot is also moving at 30,000 miles per hour.
So many ifs... just prove one of them wrong, the whole theory is just one random sequence of a million possible options...

Granted the Pentagon have acted differently but it could be for a few reasons or no reason at all. The Pentagon did not look to downplay this as a joke or inaccurate as they would usually do.
As to why now.
I think the sequence of events is that it was leaked footage from the Pentagon that was a few years old that has randomly popped up in the media recently. No real explanation, just random chance. 

All they have confirmed is two videos- but nothing else. That person talking in the background, maybe crazy and was fired from Pentagon after trying to pass off a manipulated videos as a UFO.

Ok...you really are stuck on the videos.

Let's try this.

You wake up in the morning to discover that your house alarm had been triggered during the night.

You review the CCTV footage.

You find that at exactly 03:12am a figure of a person, dressed fully in black, appears to enter your property. The precise moment that the figure moves in front of one of your garden security beams is exactly when the alarm was triggered.

Upon speaking to your neighbour, he confirms that he saw the figure of a person jump over your wall at about 03:10.

What is the natural conclusion that requires the least amount of ifs and buts?

Now what if all your home security equipment was military grade and your neighbour was the police chief?

Well unless the criminal in my garden moves faster than 30,000 miles per hour, the security CCTV footage should be able to get a close up picture that is not blurry. 
Caught up on the videos? You are the one hoping it is ET on the basis of 2 dubious videos. 
This very thread is about these videos. They are the "evidence". 
Does technology even exist that can capture a moving object flying above the sea a 30,000 miles per hour? 
If that vehicle is flying 30,000 miles per hour - how can that person's camera be able to see the ship for so long in the view screen? The UFO would have to be extremely far away to keep them from within the left to right of the screen area.
Or the pilot is also moving at 30,000 miles per hour at the same pace to keep the UFO within the screen. 
30,000 miles per hour is fast... The point is that it unlikely that this UFO was going 30,000 miles per hour. So the whole theory suddenly sounds like total codswallop. 
It is called being objective. Thinking scientifically. Trying to find rational explanations...
As for my neighbour that is the chief of police, he sounds useless.

"Does technology even exist that can capture a moving object flying above the sea a 30,000 miles per hour"

Yes. Radar. 

Do I need to explain how and why? Surely you can work that one out alone? Perhaps you should check just how reliable radars are. That may be a good place for you to start.

"30,000 miles per hour is fast... The point is that it unlikely that this UFO was going 30,000 miles per hour."

Sure, just as impossibly fast as 500km/h was to humans only 200 years ago. Keep that figure of 14 billion in the back of your mind now. I know it's hard...try!

"It is called being objective. Thinking scientifically. Trying to find rational explanations..."

What you are doing is not thinking objectively or rationally at all. To assume that a machine is broken just because you don't agree with the reading is, by all accounts, the most un-scientific approach one could take. The opposite of rational thinking. 

Ah, now we arrive at the "If" where Shark has to shred his own argument about ifs and buts by saying..."What IF the radar was faulty?" and "What IF the radar team are incompetent or lying?"

Quite ironic, all of this is.

You skipped out the context. I never said it was impossible for aliens to travel that fast- or humans (in the future). 
Imagine a spaceship was going 30,000 miles per hour. If you were standing in a field looking up at the sky, chances are you would not even see it - even if it flew directly over you. 
"If that vehicle is flying 30,000 miles per hour - how can that person's camera be able to see the ship for so long in the view screen? The UFO would have to be extremely far away to keep it within the left to right of the screen area.
Or the pilot is also moving at 30,000 miles per hour at the same pace to keep the UFO within the screen". 

The person talking in the background sounds like he is having a cup of coffee watching something travelling 30,000 miles per hour live. Unless he is not even a pilot, but in the Pentagon just providing live commentary- and a satellite is recording the video. 
The background does appear as though it is moving at the same speed which suggests it is extremely far away (for the UFO remain in the same spot in the viewscreen)- or the camera is moving at the same speed. 
This ufo would travel around the world in less than 1 hour. It is very fast. Yet someone sitting in the office laughing and having a coffee can see it. 
24,901 milesUsing those measurements, the equatorial circumference of Earth is about 24,901 miles (40,075 km). However, from pole-to-pole — the meridional circumference — Earth is only 24,860 miles (40,008 km) around.15 Sep 2017Watch the UFO over the sea. How is something that is that fast within your view range unless?
1. The camera is moving at the same speed as the spaceship.2. The camera is extremely far away. (e.g. a satellite on the moon...).

Well, yes Sharkbok, for humans like you and I, it would be very hard to spot something travelling at 30 000 mph . . . but if you were a regular interstellar traveller between Proxima Centauri and the Sun . . . someone like Ayling aka DumbPlum living on the planet Meton who makes regular 4 month round trips to Earth and back to visit his Mum, travelling at speeds of over 27 billion km per hour  . . . then 30 000 mph seems quite pedestrian.
It's all relative.
By the way, a spaceship travelling at 30 000 mph would take about 94 000 years to reach the closest star. Ayling and his Mum do that journey in under 2 months,

For the love all that is good, watch the Fravor interview on Rogan. 

A highly trained fighter pilot literally explains to you what you're seeing on the screen. 

If you can't tell, just by looking at that last video, that it isn't travelling at 30K/mph, then I can't help you.

You've concocted your own version of events are want me to defend them for you. What a joker.
