The problem is there is zero evidence of their credibility. Essentially it's an appeal to authority argument.

And the video itself doesn't show anything of the claimed behavior. No hovering over the ocean, no super fast motion, just a blob or smudge superimposed over a cloudy background as video pans around.

Which is one of many reasons we need total transparency when it comes to government. Every "state secrets" arguments falls well short when it comes to the need for the public to know everything in order to make informed decisions. Without informed consent we simply live in a police state. "National Security" is always a distant second to the need for transparency. Democracy dies behind closed doors.
