While I'm excited by such news, let's not jump from "things we don't understand" to "god/magic/aliens".
For now, it's "cool event we don't know how to explain". Good enough. Life is full of that and if we try to force label on it, we miss the fun of figuring out what's going on seriously.
I certainly can’t explain exactly what it is. However, a few facts stand out:
1. Detected object moves erratically at high speeds, with exceptionally high acceleration. Controlled translational and angular acceleration of the object occur in the footage.
2. Navy pilots in both encounters reported that the object was not visible at close range but only showed up on radar, in particular only on radar that was recently updated from a version released in the 1980s.
3. Testimonies were confirmed by multiple independent pilots, cleared by the U.S. Navy, and pilots were deemed to be mentally fit as they were later deployed to active duty in the Middle East.
Those are just facts from the case. Feel free to draw your own hypotheses or conclusions. I certainly had fun doing so. :)
There's no hard evidence that it was an actual physical (massive) object. There is evidence (mostly testimonial) that it was visible to radar, infrared and visible light sensors and the human eye.
Is there anything that has those characteristics and is not an object ? Yes, plasma phenomena are one example.
