Maybe with so many NATO aircraft and troops on exercise, that Extraterrestrial craft make their presence known out of curiosity!!! It’s again like saying lock up every fireman as everytime there is a fire there’s always firemen around!! Come on folks start thinking and looking at things differently.
On the top ten ufo videos, the “go fast” video is suspect to me. This is supposedly taken with a forward looking camera. I can go with that, but why is the background going left to right for the duration of the video?

But it isnt the case here.
The flir system rotates 360 degrees..they were traveling parallel to the craft
I believe we have a base on the moon ands mars. They are either ours or they are alian owned.
