UFO Study Programs and US Military Technology
Yes they do, but the capacity for human misperception seems to be quite profound since nobody ever seems to be able to capture this amazing performance on video, not even David Fravor who only needed to flip a switch on his helmet to record the amazing performance he described.

UFO reports describe performance advanced beyond anything on earth; if hostile, a threat.
That appears to be the case, thanks for posting a very interesting article with many examples. Here's another one I didn't notice on your link, which I used to have as my signature but the mods deleted it, Project 1794, a once classified project that was eventually declassified.
Since 1947, US military programs have attempted technology to duplicate UAPs for aircraft and weapons.
That does seem to be the case in general.

The thinking was that a saucer shaped craft would be faster and more maneuverable, as well as more efficient. The reality was that, outside of ground effect, they were horribly unstable and almost uncontrollable.
It doesn't seem so, in fact the designer was trying to avoid a flying saucer shape, so he came up with the ball shape with nacelles on the left. But somehow the ball shape ended up getting flattened into a the disk shape he was trying to avoid, as seen on the right:

I wonder if the illustration on the right inspired Star treks NCC 1701 Enterprise?
The former Chief of the Air Force UFO Investigation, Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, asked to comment on the 1957 reports, stated: "During my tenure with Project Blue Book we had reports of radiation and induction fields in connection with UFOs, however the information was sketchy and we were never able to pin it down."
Ruppelt characterized the 1957 electromagnetic cases a "a whole new dimension to the UFO investigation."
On November 9, 1957, while these reports were still being made, the following story was put on the Associated Press newswire:
"Washington, Nov. 9 (AP) -- A device capable of disrupting the operation of motor vehicles or other mechanical equipment is one of the things the Armed Forces would like to see developed."

These aircraft are demonstrating unprecedented capabilities, capabilities that are beyond even what our science is able to understand. So they also, though, are demonstrating it’s possible. So we’re pressing ahead is as arduously as we can to get more information and try to better understand how this is happening, in an effort to duplicate these capabilities.
