The thing about those videos are not the videos themselves, but the testimonies that come with them and the additional information, specially the "tic tac" video.
I don't know what is really going on in those videos, but, in my opinion, this gentleman, that it seems is a professor of epistemology!, is not following the scientific method.
You don't start with the solution and then fix the evidence to it. It's very easy to explain the videos away if you don't hear what the people that was there, or the experts on how the cameras work, have to say.
Also, if the films could be so simply explained away (like IR of airplanes from far away) this would’ve been put down way earlier at multiple levels of the Navy, probably starting from the pilots themselves since they would see these things multiple times every day.
Mick West also has an incentive to come up with explanations to debunk these films since that’s his job, even if they’re low quality explanations since he has to… whereas it’s far more taboo and reputation-risking in the Navy for the pilots to come out and say what they saw.
Sometimes things remain classified not because of the findings, but because of what those findings would reveal about the capabilities of data collection.
