1) Alien spacecraft?
2) Chinese drones?
3) Doritos flung into the air by bored sailors?

In the age of digital manipulation, pictures and video no longer qualify as evidence - unfortunately.

I agree, in the abstract. Video evidence alone simply isn't enough. Also, we have no idea if these videos are actually what was observed by that destroyer.

However, what we do know beyond any doubt is something(s) spent an hour or more buzzing this destroyer a couple hundred miles off the coast of Encinitas and that something was observed by a number of on-board sensor systems as well as visually observed by members of the crew.

We also know that the flight characteristics it exhibited represent a significant step-forward for drone/UAV technology.
