remember when the government freaked the fuck out over a Chinese weather balloon and missed with an air to air missile lol

yeah, it means these drones are something our government is aware of, but doesn't necessarily control
I think its military/intelligence or whatever doing/testing domestic surveillance capabilities
These UFO "flaps" show up every time the US military wants to hide something from the public. It's a distraction, probably to hide some new military tech, like they were in cold war.
it could be that there were actual alien UFOs and they made themselves known, but the govs didn't want them to, so they just littered the sky with drones in order to hide it in plain sight
the Chinese and Russian (Latvia) ones look weird and might actually be non-human? (assuming videos are real) But the US ones so far all look like drones or planes
It's well known that the existence of aliens is becoming a taboo among the white right, because aliens aren't honkeys and thus discredit white supremacy
are the aliens /ourguys/?

deeply unserious.
I think this is just a joke post, I don't think they're being serious, but it's fun to play along.
it's very hard to tell the difference between sincere ufo heads and people taking the piss
you're real fun
I don't think there's any reason to assume these are alien. Why would they show up like this if they were alien? Surely they would either announce their presence or stay hidden. I can't imagine the "fuzzy lights in the sky" method ever working out for aliens. If their goal is to unseat US hegemony, then this would only play into their hands. Experimental military craft are going to be about 10-20 years ahead of what the public knows about, so they're most likely just testing military vehicles if there is anything there at all. A lot of these UFO things happen because the newspapers report on it, causing a whole bunch of people to claim they saw something when they didn't. Or it causes people to look at the sky more, and when you've never actually looked at it, there's a lot of "unidentified" stuff up there that freaks people with no astronomy knowledge out.

the US ones aren't (at least mostly) but there's some weird ones from China and Latvia that look totally different, and match a video from like a decade ago that was spooky
But why would the aliens just fly around looking mysterious? If their goal is to observe quietly, this is a piss poor job of that, and if their goal is to announce their presence, they're doing a piss-poor job of that as well. So either these are the galaxy's most incompetent aliens, or it isn't aliens, and just something earthly.
Don't have to fully reveal themselves if all they want to do is send a message to the government, and basically owning and playing around the skies of military bases sends that message plain
As always as long as the objects behave within the currently understood laws of physics then the government theory is most valid
But if they start pulling magical stunts or acting in ways that defy our understanding of reality and thermodynamics, than frankly the theory that any government on this earth has access to post-singularity tech and is just hiding it for some reason is less believable then if it was just aliens

if that happens it's usually a deliberate hoax or people not understanding how cameras work,
I think it's funny that everyone is calling these "drones" instead of "UFOs" when they are literally unidentified flying objects.
well we know what they are, they're planes and drones, at least 99% of them
