Unidentified Flying Objects

The Pentagon has released “UFO” videos but is there an optical explanation better than aliens?

On Monday, the Pentagon released three declassified videos of “unexplained aerial phenomena”. That’s a fancy term for “UFOs”. The Guardian reports that the Pentagon released the footage to “clear up any misconceptions by the public” on whether or not the footage that had been previously leaked was genuine. It turns out that it was.

The three clips are referred to as Flir, Go Fast and Gimbal, which are shown in the video above. But I wouldn’t necessarily go pointing the fingers at little green (or grey) men just yet. There may be perfectly reasonable optical explanations for strange speed and movements shown in the clips.
