Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) vs the VERY REAL THINGS that have inspired most reports! Let's call them "Misidentified Real Phenomena"

The office of the director of national intelligence released a report suggesting it's a good idea to get better equipment and training into the hands of our troops, sailors and pilots so that we can nail down what's really going on. Government technology? Civilian UAV's? Natural things?

The purpose of this video is to introduce everyone to very real, crazy things that happen in our skies every day. Many of them obscure and unfamiliar. Which is by far and away my favorite playground! Often these phenomena are miss characterized or used as clickbait. Hoaxes, etc.
