I love the relevance of an XKCD as much as the next guy, but a clever graph doesn’t compare to the admissions of the military and US government that these videos are not faked. They can’t explain these craft that seem to be propelled in ways that are entirely unfamiliar to airforce personnel who are themselves familiar with cutting edge earthling aircraft.

That is a good explanation for one of the videos, but it certainly doesn't address others.

It also doesn't address first-person sightings by military observers, as interviewed in the video I linked to.
