We, stupid primitive monkey people, can make drones that hover in place by counteracting extermal forces, and VR devices that can track their position in space only using visual reference, but apparently the super advanced aliens with their gravity-defying technology can’t figure it out.

I think the more pressing issue is the “we’ve got film footage of an object that defies basic physical laws in a variety of unexplainable ways” and the conclusion is “this must be an alien aircraft with borderline supernatural powers” rather than “this film footage is distorted or entirely fake”.
Stupid primitive monkey people have been making shadows on the cave wall for even longer than we’ve been making drones and VR devices. But apparently we should absorb the footage incredulously while attributing increasingly far-fetched technologies to a blurry dot presented by an organization full of serial liars.

That’s a bit unfair. How do you explain all the IR sensor and radar evidence in some of these incidents? In those incidents, the objects weren’t defying the laws of physics, necessarily. It only seemed unlikely that any lifeform as we know it could survive the G-force that would incur from such rapid acceleration, which–in my opinion–means the objects were likely drones of some kind.
I don’t necessarily believe the sightings are aliens, but I do think they warrant further and continued inquiry. There have been too many of these “orb” sightings around military aircraft and naval ships to simply ignore/dismiss them outright.

Or issue #3: “it’s perfectly normal footage that wouldn’t seem supernatural at all if you had stayed awake in high school physics class”
