Make of this 0:46 sample of cellphone video what you will. Diehard UFO skeptics like Neil deGrasse Tyson love to dismiss the entire phenomenon with casual shake of the head and a "Where's the footage?" Arguing that since every human has a camera in their pocket, we should be lousy with definitive, irrefutable photographic proof that these things people have been reporting since Biblical days actually exist. But when you present something like this, it's just excused as a hoax or a weather balloon or something. Anything short of a craft landing in the infield of Churchill Downs on Derby Day and announcing their presence will no do. And even then, they'd question whether it was just part of a stunt to sell Kentucky bourbon or something. 

As far as this footage, even an expert in the field is passing it off as something possibly even more far-fetched than an actual spacecraft from an actual alien world. But in fact, one of ours:

Daily Mail -  A pair of Los Angeles residents were on their balcony when they spotted a black, V-shaped craft covered in lights moving slowly over the city on August 28.

The sighting went on for roughly 25 minutes ...

UFO researcher and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee told the Daily Mail he believes the craft was not an alien spaceship, adding it was likely an unmanned drone testing out new technology for the US government or some other world power.

However, Lee made one stunning claim based on his analysis of this sighting and several famous UFO incidents throughout the UK, suggesting that the US military has created technology many would think was still only science fiction in 2025.

'I'm convinced that a lot of famous UFO incidents are basically highly advanced terrestrial technology that is 30 to 40 years ahead of what we think they have,' Lee explained.

Regardless of where the craft came from, it's the latest report of a strange V-shaped craft, or chevron, flying over the US in recent months. ...

[This] was the 34th chevron spotted throughout the country in 2025.

According to NUFORC, there have been several reports this year which specifically mention seeing a V-shaped wedge or triangle with multiple lights along its surface flying over the US.

I'll admit, Mark Christopher Lee is a UFO researcher and filmmaker, and I'm just a handsome intellectual who'd rather be chasing stories about possible interstellar craft hovering above our cities than contemplate how we live in a world gone mad. And maybe it's a plausible hypothesis. The fact there have been 34 reported sightings of such V-shaped craft just in the less than nine months of The Year of Our Lord 2025 might indicate these are new pieces of highly advance aerospace tech the government hasn't told us about yet. And we've had similar encounters in the past few years. Like this one:

After all, we didn't know the B-2 Stealth Bomber existed until, like the Death Star, it was full operational. And certainly the people who lived in Hiroshima in 1945 were caught off guard by what Oppenheimer had been working on for years. So maybe these sightings and these videos are all just part of a slow rollout. Could be. Who knows?

There's just one problem with Lee's explanation. If he's saying this is a new technology that's 30-40 years ahead of its time, he's at least 30-40 years too late:

…  which many witnesses believed to be of extraterrestrial origin. Thousands of people across multiple States saw the lights. The military tried explaining the sighting away by suggesting that the lights were likely flares as part of a military exercise. However, most witnesses dispute this claim as the lights they saw were too large and too stationary to be flares.

As I mentioned in that blog I posted above, one of the thousands who saw those lights over Phoenix was the Governor of Arizona, who reported it, then made a joke out of it, then disavowed his report, until eventually admitting he did, in fact see what he saw. Way too late for the other eyewitnesses who were mocked and ridiculed for being honest about what they saw. 

The point being that if we're going to say what was in the skies over LA is just something we shouldn't have for another or so, then we have to go all the way and say human engineers had this same 2065 technology flying around over Phoenix in March of 1997. 

So it seems that even expert UFOlogists aren't above saying whatever it takes to keep the public from getting answers.
