The video links there are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Btns91W5J8&t=7s , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLyEO0jNt6M&t=20s , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1oTg0kxzDs .
Every day objects that find themselves at the right place and time in completely different setting from when they are normally seen, at drastically different scales, they confound our minds because they break patterns our minds are built to recognize.
It's probably not aliens. It's probably not a hot air balloon. Be more skeptical. Allow things to be unexplained if no explanation is sufficient. When every video someone links points to the same video, your warning lights should be going off.
The Pentagon and Navy would not have released these as "UFOs" if a game developer watching blurry footage could have told them what they were.
