The discussion is ongoing though. There are two possible candidate aircraft, but the distances and altitudes seem to be off.

Three, now, and people putting in coordinates on Google Earth get pretty good reconstruction of key shots in the video.

Of course, it's unsurprising that a government committee for investigating UFOs didn't bother to do any due diligence like actually checking publicly documented flight paths. You don't get continued funding if you undermine the purpose of the position. (The article reports their claim that there were no planes in the area to be seen, but there were in fact three.)
