What I find fascinating in all this isn't what's on the video, and it's not the pilots' and radar operators' descriptions of what they witnessed. It's that these videos - which have been in the public domain for years, if not a decade plus - were acknowledged. Acknowledged by both the US Navy last year and now the Pentagon. Why?
These videos, like other photos and recordings and testimonials from former pilots and former 'Area 51' employees etc., could simply have been lumped with the rest of the UFO pap that's been generated since the 50s. Or, since these are military pilots and might not qualify as 'pap,' they could have simply been ignored by the navy/pentagon or they themselves could have said 'balloon' or come up with a better, more plausible solution.
Either the Pentagon is genuinely concerned about what military pilots are witnessing and wants layman eyes on it, which sounds very un-Pentagon-like to me (Would the Pentagon formerly announce it's inability to grasp what could be superior Terran technology?) or...
I get the sense we're being prepared for some kind of future announcement of the discovery of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. Maybe in 10 years, maybe fewer, maybe more, but I wouldn't be surprised to see in the coming years a few more videos such as these getting leaked and classified as UAP. I then wouldn't be surprised if the announcement involved an artifact of alien origin, because I also don't believe that they would travel here in person. Maybe we already have a chunk of some other civilization's Voyager.
