The key question here is not if these stories are true, or what the objects may be. The question is... Why does the government want to bring UFOs to the fore at this time?
Listen to "The Daily", the NYTime podcast. They just had an episode titled "A Secret U.F.O. Program".
The reporter describes how she first came about the story. Apparently the guy running the program in the Pentagon felt that they had reached a critical mass of evidence and witnesses but the department wasn't being taking seriously and couldn't be talked about.
I was wondering that too -- also in the news recently, the "interstellar object" that for some reason has attracted enough attention to scan it for "alien life", whatever that means.
CDR Fravor was a simulator instructor of mine when I went through training a decade ago. He was also featured in the PBS Special “Carrier” a few years ago.
Somehow ends up in the limelight over and over! His callsign is most certainly NSFW.
He did look very familiar. Now I know why. I remember him saying near end of the series that he was retiring instead of having to take assignment that would have him pilot desks.
I can give my own example of an utterly astonishing gob-smacking sight which turned out to have a fairly simple explanation. I invite people to speculate on what it was...
About 7am I was travelling in a ferry on Sydney Harbour about 400m east of the bridge. I saw a giant (50m diameter?) golden glowing ball hover on the other (west) side of the bridge. It was definitely not on the bridge. It maintained its position for over 30 seconds.

Is this leading up to some big news story to deflect news from something else?

Then it changed and the actuality was revealed.
