Yes, because that makes so much more sense than them trying to counter the Aegis defense system being used by ships, and Aegis Ashore to counter medium range missiles.

Has anybody ever suggested any reason for the erratic behaviour of UFO's ?

The "falling leaf" behaviour - typical of the old "flying saucers"- was once imaginatively described as the result of them trying to prevent the unidirectional spinning hull coming into contact with the counter rotating "special sauce" leading to a gyroscopic wobble.
You'd struggle to come up with as elegant and simple explanation for the modern day "Tic Tac" type behaviours- but therein lies the likely truth:
If you DID generate a quantum "make it not happen" bubble around your UFO- observers using a system which has evolved to interpret inferences from how photons normally behave in the macro world (i.e the human eye and brain)- would likely struggle.

I don’t know that it’s “unknown physics” in this case. There’s lots of things that are theoretically possible but we lack the means (energy in most cases) to do it. As far as generally unknown points go... what if we figured out more about gravity, for instance? Like how to leverage it or materially reduce its effects - not entirely impossible but not generally something we view as part of our current capabilities or mainstream scientific understanding.
