I’ve heard the upcoming History channel doc premiering on May 31st gets into the useful data you’re asking about. I’ve been told by those who’ve seen it that it’s the most impressive presentation of miliary encounters with UAO so far broadcast on US tv.
So this, together with the on-record interviews, looks like a deliberate effort on the part of the US Navy to release/publicize this information. I wonder why they’re doing this now.
Another thing I noticed while browsing the comments is that people report many different types of flying objects that aren’t very similar to each other. If it’s aliens, why are they fielding so many different types of crafts?
1. In Soviet Union there was a practise to publish an article about UFO in tightly controlled central press just before major food price increase announcement. I personally remembered such article carbon copied and discussed for days around 1988. (Fact check: it was 1985, full story here in Russian). But it could be just a conspirological interpretation of publishing practices.
2. Personally, I don’t buy extraterrestrial explanation of UFOs (it is so middle-20-century) and prefer something more interesting, like self-replicating glitches in the matrix or intrusions of randomness into the chains of observer-moments of Boltzmann Brains. This may explain variety of experience and their absurdness.
3. If we stick to the extraterrestrial explanation of UFOs, than Zoo hypothesis prevails. It goes like following: even if most colonisation waves by ETI destroy potentially habitable planets, we could find ourself only in the world there ETI decided not destroy life, but observe it. Thus we live in some kind of natural reserve. However, its ETI-owners sell tickets to different other civilizations tourists for short trips to Earth. This explains variety of observed crafts and their irrational behaviour. But this explanation is also too anthropomorphic.
According to a comment on the NYT website:

The last questions would seem to beg the follow up of, and yet we still have no other indication of ET life beyond the most simple forms.
