I actually watched it. It's a fair assessment of why scientists find things like this interesting, but find statements like the dude saying "this was something not of this world" ridiculous.
I find things like this and "ghost" videos entertaining merely because of the inherent confirmation bias they show. Especially in light of the fact that we now know that a bunch of the "UFO" sightings in the '50s were U2s, SR71s and other stealth prototypes in the '60s-'80s, and who knows how much drone testing was labeled this way?
I suspect the Air Force either knows or has a really good idea of what's in this video, and the answer is very terrestrial.
I love myself a healthy dose of Occam's Razor, so I also find it kind of entertaining when somebody sees a grainy object on a video screen and the conclusion is "yep, that's definitely intelligent life from the other side of the universe, millions of light-years away".
I love the unexplained because it's always ripe for new discovery. Just because it's not an alien doesn't mean it's something we're familiar with or doesn't mean it's not something amazing, either, you know? Might even be just as entertaining if there's no answer and there's never an answer.
The one annoying thing to me that, IMO, feeds anti-science folks is the bit in there with the guy parroting the scientific method. I mean, he's entirely right but the concept that you have to have entirely controlled environments and repeatable circumstances/results to answer or even guess what something is is exactly the kinda thing that pseudo-science and fantasy breed from. I would've liked to hear the scientist's take on what he thought it was.
I'd say I'm leaning toward an experimental craft, most likely something unmanned. On the more boring end of things, I'd say could be a weird equipment fluke.
