Why does it feel like this report has been teased for weeks, almost akin to the release of a new blockbuster movie or similar cultural product?

Because the UFO fanatics have been hyping it as it might have lent them some legitimacy.

So, basically they are saying they don't know what the hell they are.

or they do and they don't want to say.

yeah I think it's more likely that it's some kind of experimental propulsion test that is sometimes being noticed. Like they wandered into a room above their clearance level or something.

Someone on earth made these.

Is this really a surprise to anybody? UFO means "unidentified flying object", not "alien".

I've heard a lot of credulous people describing these reports as proof of aliens. To me the idea that aliens exist is unsurprising, but aliens being here would imply FTL is possible, and that would be a huge discovery!

Sometimes? Over 120 times according to the report.
