The second, not unlikely at all. The first doesn't look like an insect to me even after being primed by your comment prior to watching it.
There's a pretty meticulous review of the second video out there — the raw vídeo was available online for some time — that proves it's neither bug nor CGI. I haven't found any analysis of the first one though, it could be CGI but it doesn't seem to be an actual bug.

They're not fake, they're just two videos of an insect flying past a drone.

Re: Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
#223Just a reminder that Fermi's paradox is no longer a paradox if "they" are already here. ;-) I'm not saying there are little green men in these unidentified aircraft, but if you were part of an interstellar civilization in this galaxy, and you identified there was a life-supporting planet a few light years away, you'd send probes there for sure... wouldn't you? We certainly would, if we had the means.

Re: Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena
#224From a first skim, it looks intentionally vague and noncommittal, and in classic form, released on a Friday afternoon to minimize coverage. Also of note: there was no input at all drawn from the CIA, which is the agency most frequently associated with the topic for a variety of reasons, aside from the Air Force. "The majority of UAP data is from U.S. Navy reporting [i.e. not in-the-know] , but efforts are underway to…
> "There is nonhuman intelligence visiting and engaging with Earth. We could not tell you before for national security reasons, but now we can tell you." At least, not without many years of plausibly deniable hints before-hand. Do you really think that'll be the outcome? I'd be shocked. If there is nonhuman intelligence in our solar system, it's orders of magnitude smarter than us, and I'd also wager it's probably by…
Why would this nonhuman necessarily be smarter than us? Here on earth we are surrounded by animals with non-human intelligence. Do you really believe that they are more intelligent or do you believe that they are not intelligent at all?

#225Am I the only one who’ve been noticing a shift of narrative regarding UFOs in the past few years? I wonder what the endgame is…
An eccentric billionaire constituent of Harry Reid that was obsessed with UFOs forced the armed services to go on a wild goose chase a few years back. This is the result.
What evidence do you have that he had any influence on Harry Reid?

Small planes: 1) Still often file a flight path in advance, and must do so if they are using instruments to fly, which is anytime they are flying at night, reduced vision, or even mildly poor weather. Even those who choose not to file will still have their takeoff/landing activity recording in flight logs. 2) If the transponder fails they will still be in radio contact. They are required to radio control, and will be…
UFO reports have turned out to be planes multiple times in the past. One of the problems that often arises is that humans are not very good at judging how far away things are when that thing is quite a ways away from them. Which leads to them looking at registered flights in the area they think the object is in, and not finding a registered flight, because they're looking at the wrong spot. Frequently these take plac…

> reliable encounters with one sensor There's no such thing. An anomaly that doesn't appear on multiple sensors is a defect with your sensor.
That doesn't make sense. If I can see something that I can't smell, that doesn't imply that my eyes are defective.

Meeting an insect while flying at speed and altitude isn't going to look like an insect, it's just going to look like a blur zooming past suddenly.

Doesn't seem like the first camera is moving much, or does it and I don't notice?

I think if you threw out why you feel there is alien activity with a "not looking to debate it" that would be more interesting than saying you think people are going to argue with you. If you've stated reasoning in the past maybe just link to that?
I, for one, 100% believe that at least some of this is advanced, non-human tech. Trying to convince HN about the "why" is at best problematic. I could give evidence from my own observations and experiences, but they would be easily dismissed due to lack of evidence. I'll just say that we, as humans, do not fully understand how consciousness works. I'm certain that there are others in this galaxy who do, and I have pe…
