> "These Aliens"

Why do you say aliens? It seems more likely they are experimental human developed aircraft.

Because some of the reported changes of speed are not within any technology conceivable for the next 100 years. Like physically doing Mach 200 with no noise or sonic boom and show up 80 Miles ( the way point of the interview...) after a few seconds. ( And how did they know where the way point was?)

Fair enough. If you haven't seen these Navy patents, they could be an explanation:

Of course, you may have seen them and be in the camp that they are not achievable for the next 100 years. That is completely reasonable and I appreciate that point of view.

Is there hard evidence of objects performing these maneuvers? I keep hearing anecdotes like yours making it sound like we have irrefutable evidence of extraordinary tech.

I don’t think we have any such thing…

The linked article and video suggest that there is an object behind the glare that the tracking pod is locked on to. I suppose it will be challenging to gather irrefutable evidence if an object is capable of these maneuvers, but the several videos and the radar data is enough refutable evidence to warrant the discussion of it/them being real.
