Thank you for posting the links. Yes, most of those moving objects can, frankly, be explained away...this does not mean the explanations are valid, of
course.
EDITED to add: On the other hand, we should not discard all explanations simply because they go against our current perspective. All points
of view should be considered on their merits...
However, the object that you refer to (above) is precisely the one that I think is inexplicable within the usual framework. It changed velocity and
direction...not only
appeared to, but actually did. So, I'd have to take it as a UFO.
On the other hand, we should avoid making assumptions that all or any of the objects shown in those recording were carrying "aliens" or any kind of
living creatures. A flying object does not need to have any crew... We humans have many craft, both in space and within our atmosphere, which have no
crew on board. Yes, some of these UFOs may have crew, but let's not simply assume that they do.
Please note that I'm not stating that no UFOs have aliens on board; I'm just making the point that we can only go with the evidence presented
(within those recordings) and not beyond them. Even though a commentator on one of the linked videos spoke of "evidence of amazing intelligence" (or
words to that effect) this doesn't mean that the actual living intelligence was on board. We have "pilotless" and "unmanned" machines of all
kinds that act, react and move independently, based upon the hardware and software built into them. They also show evidence of the intelligence that
created them. It is not a logical leap to imply (as the speaker on the video did) that the UFOs he was referring to had intelligent life on board.
Having said all that, there is certainly a growing body of evidence that crewed craft have visited this planet and probably are still doing so, and
some of that evidence is nigh on impossible to ignore or refute.
My own personal view on all this? Just considering the enormous number of stars and potentially habitable planets in our galaxy alone, I feel it is
the height of egotistical close-mindedness to hold to the belief that there cannot be other intelligent life in all that vastness, and that other
life forms are incapable of not only doing what we have already done (in a relatively short time)
vis-a-vis space travel, but of going far
beyond it. And that is without even considering that we still do not thoroughly know everything that is or has gone on here, on our own planet,
neither on the surface or beneath it or in the oceans as well: it is not impossible that an ancient civilization co-exists here with us, but for
reasons of its own keeps itself more-or-less hidden for much of the time.
Regards,
Mike
