Mick West put together what I found to be a pretty enlightening and convincing analysis:

Ultimately, it remains an unidentified flying object, but between West’s conclusion and a physics defying anomaly, I’d lean squarely towards the former.

Mick West's analysis is very convincing. I don't think any of the publicly released videos show anything exotic. It's possible the pilots were deceived, perhaps through wishful thinking. Or the pilots understand the videos are mundane but guessed that laypeople might mistake the videos for something exotic and decided to have some fun.
