Through a modern lense it looks just like a drone light show.

    We already know the government has been working on what we would consider modern drones since the 90s at least. Just to keep perspective that our modern lens is not always the bleeding edge lens.

      I hear this a lot and it seems to make sense. But why keep advanced technology secret? Wouldn’t you want other countries to know what you have? For soft power. Or maybe all the uap’s are their way of showing the world.

        The arms race always want’s the other person to want the same guns as you. USA shows the world they have nukes? KGB have a target for infiltration. CIA stares at goats? Soviet creates their own supernatural weapons program.

        The US has flying disks and never tells? Soviet/Russia never focuses on the field and make their own. Russia attacks the US with planes, trains and automobiles. Get shot down by flying disks, Russia have nothing comparable.

        I don’t believe that’s what’s going on but consider it a military-strategical sound doctrine. Assured destruction of the enemy sounds better than mutually assured destruction no?
