This is well said but I don't think it will make any difference. If we follow the logic, you can't prove that it is a flying alien spaceship from space AND you can't prove that it is something mundane. So it must be nothing.

You're really forgetting the fact that it's not anybody's job to debunk this. It's your job to prove it's not something mundane. The burden of proof is on the person making the extraordinary claim, which would be you saying this isn't something mundane (such as a cruise ship, or a mirage which has been shown by people who, you know, did the actual work to research and advertise these likely solutions).
Simply saying "No, not debunked!" doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to explain this object as?
What I think is you've got some fantasy or another, whether it be aliens or something else, in your head. There's an hypothesis in there. You're fighting so hard to keep this a mystery rather than trying to really figure out what it is because you know that a mundane explanation will shatter that fantasy, which is a very close-minded view.
So you keep dismissing logical analysis to keep that fantasy.
If I'm wrong about all that, prove it's not a mirage.

At the end of the day, what have we gotten from the video? Proof positive of aliens visiting Earth? Nope. A greater understanding of the UFO phenomenon? Nope. Any tiny bit of new information that might help us figure out what's going on? Nope.
It doesn't matter if it's "undebunked." It's something even worse. It's useless.
