Consider for a moment that it's not a bird. Have the epistemic humility to realize that such pedestrian explanations are likely to have been proposed and ruled out during internal analysis, before public release.

Also, birds don't move like that on radar.

Have you actually reviewed the analysis, using the instrument data in the video to calculate that it was a typical size and was actually moving at a typical speed and altitude for a bird? If so, what is your critique of the calculations?

See David Fravor's commentary on the videos. He's one of the jet pilots from the Nimitz incident.

Specifically in the Go fast video: https://youtu.be/aB8zcAttP1E?t=9829

The object is shown colder than the ocean; it can't be a bird.
