I've been pondering these reports as well, and my hunch is that the US is recognizing an increasing occurrence of drone or otherwise long distance, stealth aircraft that are regularly penetrating US airspace... and they want to know more. A regular feature of such articles is a well respected aviator stating, "if I'd seen it while alone, I might not have reported it." Even if it just gets US mil personnel to feel more comfortable reporting unidentified aerial things, ie by distancing that experience from UFO kookery, then it's a PR campaign success.

edit: what's in the videos? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But then why would army, navy or air force be ok with unidentified things around their training grounds?

If it was a civilian drone they would go after it and people controlling it, a foreign spy plane would cause diplomatic turmoil.

Its either their misinformation campaign, testing of their next gen tech, or aliens. Listed by probability with first being in high 90s.

I mean a UFO that's just an unidentified foreign drone is ... a UFO until we have a different explanation.

UFOs == aliens was a connection that came about later.
