Navy spokesperson on record stating that tic-tacs did not disclose or endanger sensitive U.S. technology (paraphrasing). They aren’t ours.
By merely showing off what a device can do such as what these craft were doing doesn’t necessarily give away the store....especially when the Navy claims “wink wink” that it wasn’t “their” tech. Reagan way back when started the SDI programs which spent the Soviets into the poor house A sly move like this by our side could keep our enemies guessing as to what we really have as they dare to think they could move against us.
Now if the tic tacs were truly otherworldly then all nations on the face of the earth should be taking pause and perhaps learn to live at peace with each other!
