Description

My initial reaction to these low quality videos released in the 5th tranche was disappointing considering a common debunk for erratic flight behavior is that it's due to sudden camera movement or that the camera stopped tracking the object, it wasn't until I read the associated Intelligence Report (https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release_05/Aug_07/documents/DOW-UAP…) that finally proved this wasn't the case. In clear language it stated that the UFOs were observed flying "aggressively and erratically" and that the camera was either "smoothly slewing" or stationary, this eliminates the debunk that unusual flight behavior is due to manipulation by the camera. There were several other videos released of the same incident but I chose this one as it was the most interesting.

These videos were taking during a flight exercise in which an AC-130 dropped a target practice flare, the UAP were subsequently seen hovering around the flare. Upon pulling the trigger to fire the cannon, the UAP were seen to react immediately flying away - the objects were then seen moving in a coordinated manner and exhibiting aggressive and erratic flight behaviors.
