I don't have much evidence that they're even flying things vs artifacts or optical phenomenon or something else I people haven't thought of, and even if they are then there's still implicit assumptions being made (i.e. something that looks fast and large far away vs something something slow, close and small).
The mind doesn't like things being unexplained, but sometimes we just have to leave it at that until more information is available.

Not hard at all, but given the lack of data it's difficult to know what the likelihood of that is. And there's also a big jump from life to multi-cellular life. What's the chance of that.. we may find single cellular type life elsewhere in our own solar system. Or is it once per solar system per million years? Once per galaxy per billion years?

Agree, all I do know is how credible evidence should look and how nothing passes muster as of yet. I have to do with these videos the same as I do with a magic trick I haven't figured out.. sure real magic might exist, but until I've got more proof I'll temporarily maintain the position that it's got a mundane explanation but I haven't (and may never) figure it out.
