How is this not just a triangular bokeh?

Yes. Very likely just a bokeh effect. Even the light signal rate matches the airplane standard rate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g256IPFoqMg

I see 3+ lights in that footage, all of them are triangular shaped (likely a bokeh effect, or a combination). Around the 0:10 mark, you can see the other two to the left side of the screen, which seem to be connected to the bright blinking light. (I don't think those are reflections)

My immediate thought was that those 3 lights are forming the pyramid's base - not just the single prominent blinking light.

But checking the reactions across the net, everyone seems to be focused on the singular blinking light. Am I missing something here?

In the beginning of the video, you can see more of these lights as the camera pans away from them, too.

At first I though "what a boomer, ruining everyone's excitement", then I saw the video and yeah, that's definitely a bokeh. There are triangles everywhere in that video.

I hope one day we figure out that these are alien craft. It'd be the most exciting moment of my life.

I hope one day we figure out what are those camera/visual/aerial artifacts.

Those aliens are both the stealthiest and least stealthy entities. Show yourselves if you want to, or wtf are you guys doing if you want to stay hidden?

The funniest thing would be someone with an iPhone to finally be able to make a 60 fps, 8 bit colors, crisp video in full daylight of an obvious alien UFO saucer, and have Apple use that to advertise their cameras for the next 25 years.

These high quality vids have existed for a long time, see [1] for examples.

Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean it's alien craft.

iPhone's are designed to take close shots, they don't have optical zoom so zoomed in or distant photos are very blurry. Trust me I have tried taking photos of lots of things that are clearly seen in the distance only to look like a early 00s webcam photo when I take a picture with my phone.

AFAICT, the quality and resolution of these supposed alien UFOs hasn't improved a lot since the 50s.

I don't believe that's accurate. I linked a "documentary" elsewhere in this thread that contains purported UFO footage which is high quality in an absolute sense and much better quality relative to anything in the 1950s.

Patiently waiting for the day the decide to use some ML image enhancer on these things and we "find out" it's the USS Enterprise.

In this case, it'd likely get "recognized" as a Goa'uld mothership.
