Hi,
Kinda makes you suspicious of all the videos, though. Or, at least, it should.
They are. Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof. And the only test of that proof is to try as hard as possible to debunk it. Otherwise, you find yourself helping Nigerian millionaires transferring money.
Nobody on the streets except for four (three?) people that just happened to be carrying some form of video camera? And midnight is not that late.
Behind the temple in all the views? Not according to the geometry I know, but heck, they're probably four or five dimensional beings.
I see UFOs all the time. Sue says, "What kind of plane is that?" I look and reply, "I don't recognize it." Meets the definition: it's flying, it's an object, and it's unidentified (by me, at least).
Two factors. First, more and more DoD is looking for autonomous or remotely controlled weapons of war. The physical limitations of the human body is one of the reasons for that. Second, except on TV and the movies, no one does secret development, flight test, etc. over highly populated areas when there is so much desolate landscape to hide them in.
Really, aliens are more probable than secret aircraft in these situations. As Fermi asked, "Where are they?" Of course, they are less likely than Russell's teapot, unless, of course, they put it there.
