Pentagon releases UFO footage

I think it's even closer to home than that, they are the origin of these craft. Area 51 attracted theories and people in droves and yet it was nothing more than an experimental aircraft facility for the US military. The yanks even allowed alien films to be made (Independence Day being the most famous) as someone somewhere must've decided that there was no drawback to creating these films.
On the global stage it could be argued that these films even helped support America's military superiority impression, but that's heading in to CT territory.
Anyway, think about how far tech has come since then. It's not inconceivable that there are now military testbeds covering thousands of miles in one flight, and these are very likely to look like UFOs to the untrained eye. Everyone knows that military development is done as cheaply as possible so these "UFOs" are quite possibly just cheaply built aircraft with the latest state-of-the-art kit fitted to them for testing purposes.
Spoiler: It was not worth a watch.

I agree with you.
But now the question is why are they testing these craft so publicly?
I mean, it's the sky, it's not exactly like they're hidden. They might be doing their special maneuvers or whatever elsewhere but they still need to get there. They might also be developing stuff specifically for populated areas, like night vision or AI stuff.
I could have guessed that before clicking a video which relies on clickbait
the drones coming from the sea are probably these flying to an airbase or whatever
“Participating in The Hybrid Fleet Campaign Event brought us closer to our goal of providing the U.S. Navy with a flexible and scalable shore-to-ship, ship-to-ship, and ship-to-shore automated cargo delivery capability,” said Tim Whitehand, PteroDynamics VP of Engineering. “
The X-P5 will have a 22-ft (6.7-m) wingspan, and it's designed to carry 50 lb (23 kg) of payload up to 575 miles (925 km) using a hybrid power system. And the X-P6 will take things up another level with a turbogenerator powertrain, carrying 220 lb (100 kg) up to 978 miles (1,574 km) on a 30-ft (9.1-m) wingspan.

It's already been a year since they started testing t hem I'm sure they have a lot of them by now and probably others from different companies

Either that or they're all planes and the gov does about 30 secs of investigation and confirms they're planes, doesn't want to call it's citizens idiots for making claims that these aren't planes when they clearly are planes.
So far all the evidence is planes. Unless you have access to some other evidence?

Well, I thought it was quite a logical explanation of what is potentially happening and what the government have been doing repeatedly over the years, seemed like quite a sensible theory to me.....
the orb is literally a planet in the sky
he'd get more clicks if he claimed its a UFO.
There should be laws against the media trying to create mass hysteria when they know exactly what these things are...
you telling me ABc7 doesn';t know what a planet in the sky is?
planets, regular drones and normal aircraft...

Multiple Drone Incursions Confirmed Over Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
This is the first Marine Corps facility to acknowledge drone incursions during the recent wave of sightings at bases across the country.

I don't understand how they can be legally operated whilst breaching military base air space, unless that's legal to do in the US, I know in the UK it's illegal to fly a drone within a certain range of bases ?
Obviously if they're government operated top secret flights then they can technically fall under legally operated, whilst also creating news worthy stories at bases who have no idea what's going on ?

They are unidentified planes.
Don't you think it's strange how the US is acting?
Unidentified planes fly into your airspace, and don't respond to any identification call.

Exactly, inside job of sorts.

They are also referred to as a concern. Which begs the question as to how if they are there acting legally :Multiple Drone Incursions Confirmed Over Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton

Monday night, Hill Air Force Base became the latest installation experiencing drone incursions.
“We can confirm that unmanned aerial systems were spotted in the vicinity of Hill AFB recently,” a spokesperson told KUTV–2 news Monday night. “To date, unmanned aerial systems have not impacted Hill AFB operations and all appropriate measures are being taken to safeguard Hill AFB personnel, assets, and infrastructure.”
U.S. officials are still trying to discover the origin of drones that appeared over four U.S. Air Force bases in the U.K., another story we first broke. They’ve been spotted over RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell, all within close proximity, and RAF Fairford, about 130 miles to the west. A few days earlier, Ramstein Air Base in Germany joined the growing list of places registering unknown drone overflights.
TWZ has been on the leading edge of covering this topic for years and has broken multiple stories now about drone incursions over key U.S. bases and training ranges, as well as uncrewed aerial systems, harassing American forces off the coasts of the United States and making worrisome overflights of important non-military sites. A spate of drone incursions over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in December 2023, which TWZ was the first report on, has now become a particular focal point of concern about these instances.
While authorities are downplaying the majority of public drone sightings, they acknowledge a real concern about those flying over military installations, which as we have noted, forced the closure of airspace over one of those facilities.

Those at the Picatinny base and those reported by the coastguard were confirmed drones as were those identified by an air force base: In a statement released Monday afternoon, officials at Hill AFB confirmed the sightings near the Davis County air base. Please refer to my previous post.

Basically cover yourself in navigation lights, walk into military base, it's okay because legally operated drone

Yeah it's ridiculous. I suspect - as the evidence suggests, there have been a number of legitimate reports that have caught the imagination of the public who are now reporting any dot in the sky with a light on it to be a drone or drone invasion, hyped on by the media.Basically cover yourself in navigation lights, walk into military base, it's okay because legally operated drone
That being said, there does appear to be some concerning and legitimate reports of "drone occurrences" over military bases around the world including references to the harassment of military assets off the coast of California which remains a problem.

I'm not getting the same information you are apparently. Video, location, date, time? anything else is garage data.
Here’s how to identify a drone in the sky
More and more videos are coming out every day of so-called mysterious drones over New Jersey and now other parts of America. And people are understandably scared, confused, and angry. But, don’t fr…

You can still submit a request to the CAA/FAA asking for permission to do stuff that law says you can't.
same as the max height to fly a drone in the UK is 120metres, but you can ask for permission to fly higher.
People do it all the time
some of them will just be cargo drones for that base.
There's a lot more commercial drones out there than people realise as well.
