I know from experience that making this in CGI would be very difficult. Modeling the craft and rendering it out to a file with an alpha channel is the easy part.
Its putting it into a composite video that is nearly impossible. Usually you'd have to have a green-screen (with other expensive chorma-keying equipment) to film a foreground (the people and trees), then render the mid-ground elements (in this case the UFO's) and finally film the background and then compile all three together into a final cut.
This video, however, looks as though the foreground (trees and such) and background (the buildings and buildings and landscape) are filmed all as one. Thus, dubbing in a UFO to not only go behind the trees, but also be clipped (be obscured) by the separate strands of the palm fronds, AND light blooming between the fronds from the UFO, would be nearly impossible to accomplish without some extreme time and very expensive equipment and software. This is not even taking into account camera tracking, lighting, and focus/zoom compensations that must be dealt with in CGI, which takes literally forever to complete with such an unsteady camera shot.
Either someone has a LOT, and I mean LOT, of time AND money on their hands or this is authentic. Whether or not the ships are ET is up for debate.
Also, the flag sound midway though the video sounds kind of prefab, but then again how many different noises can a flag make?

If these are military crafts then what are those white dots flying high up in the sky? You know its exactly that what makes this look suspicious to me. As if it was added to make all of it look ET rather than man-made.

If it is real.
And that's a big "if".

It sure seems a little weird, it seems like the other 2 video's are the originals. But why wouldn't they include the video that started this thread in the "New Evidence" Video?

Wow wouldnt that be cool if the government really had ships like that.

Well, when I saw the other video of the same craft during day time, I thought that it was fake. Now I'm not so sure anymore. I know that there are a lot of CG programs out there but this looks too good, and it's not in HD! If it's a new toy, I want one!

If you watch the first video, the Dominican republic one, You'll notice that the last UFO shown is the same one which flies over our heads in the second video. (Duh!) But....watch the Dominican republic video, and pay attention to when the last UFO starts flying by. Trailing behind it (to the left side of the video) are 2 white lights. The look like headlights on a car. These appear to be the same white lights that the UFO flies up towards in the second video (where the UFO flies over our heads). They look like car headlights up in the sky. This leads me to believe that these 2 videos are of the SAME incident, but shot from different cameras from different witnesses.
Just an observation.
