The videos are of real aircraft recorded through a FLIR pod. When zoomed out far enough the aircraft simply look like fuzzy ovals as demonstrated in this video https://youtu.be/jWjpnCKcj8M?t=136

For some reason people in the military and government are trolling the public, perhaps as part of a campaign to discredit news agencies.

I thought we were over the fact that news agencies don't need any help to discredit themselves.

We are far from that point. On some things, they do fine. Others have conflicts of interest in play. We get messaged to.

This is an old tactic. It makes it hard for enemies to gather good data. It also makes it hard to know who and what to trust. You have pilots saying ridiculous things so can you trust every pilot? Makes vetting MUCH MUCH harder. All the major powers do this. But it is kinda like a placebo effect, even knowing about it doesn't make it less effective.

So I don't think it is so much to discredit news agencies but to make it harder for enemies to vet eye witness stories on experimental technologies.

Explain why Raytheon's Director of Engineering also believes that they captured a ET craft, they've even used it in their marketing!
