That's fair, but then how do you explain the Tic Tac UFO reports from US Navy pilots? [1]

Worlds most advanced Navy systems and crews and all I get are fuzzy pics and descriptions.

Might be worth something to watch part of the Lex Fridman interview with one of the pilots, David Fravor. The entire podcast is four hours long and goes over his career and experiences, I'd argue establishes him as a competent naval officer and pilot. The timecode is when he describes the actual event- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB8zcAttP1E&t=4264s

In the interview he also describes the record keeping process and basically some of the head scratchers you're bringing about.

One other thing the pilot confirms in that interview is the validity (authenticity) of the leaked "Executive Summary" report, which, was leaked to media and (as far as I know) not really pursued for authenticity verification by others (PDF):

I think it was Richard Feynman who said the easiest person in the world to fool is yourself. I have no doubt this pilot is a good officer and pilot, but that doesn't mean he saw what he thinks he saw.

All three of these videos have perfectly reasonable explanations. See [1] [2] [3]
