I think that eyewitness sightings without photographic evidence are poor evidence in cases like this. It's like how after a plesiosaur was shown in the original King Kong, hundreds of sightings of plesiosaur-like creatures in Loch Ness happened despite being obviously false. UFO hysteria was a cultural phenomenon in response to the Cold War.
There are still quite a lot of videos of UFOs doing crazy acrobatics that are impossible for modern aircraft, and I will concede that not all of them can be out-of-focus bugs or tricks of the light. The simplest solution is experimental military tech. Since militaries have tech that is several decades more advanced than what is declassified, they can probably do all this crazy impossible shit. TBH I hope it is aliens though, since that would be a get-out-of-jail-free card for climate change.

I mean they sat around and let us sit 5 minutes from global thermonuclear holocaust in the cold war I don't think anyone's coming to our rescue if we can't sort this ourselves.
I think you're drastically underestimating the technological leaps that would be required for some of the things that these objects have been observed doing. I'd recommend you take a look at this paper, it goes over a couple highly credible sightings and calculates estimated accelerations for the sighted objects, as well as estimations of how much energy would be required to accomplish that acceleration.

Spoiler: In the most credible case in this paper, and arguably one of the most credible UFO sightings to have ever been recorded, the USS Nimitz sighting, the objects sighted (visually, on radar, and on both IR and visual light videos) were seen to accelerate at speeds of over 5000g, which would require energy output around 1100 Gigawatts. Which is around the total capacity of every power plant in the US, circa 2012. Producing that amount of energy in an object roughly the size of an F-16 and using it to accelerate something so quickly that hopping between solar systems would take 1.2 days from the craft's temporal perspective is so far beyond any technology that any military has produced as to be practically magical. I do not exaggerate when I say that any country that had the technological capability to do shit like that could effortlessly conquer the entire planet within a week if they so desired, it is the ultimate strategic trump card, it breaks MAD in half. In my opinion, there is no way in hell any military has this technology and yet simultaneously continues to develop utterly inferior conventional aircraft, it just doesn't make any sense.
UFOs are experimental military aircraft/drones. If it were aliens, someone in the govt would snitch eventually and say aliens are real.
There are countless govt officials who've said aliens are real. They are usually subjected to character assassinations.
Also, the behavior described in UFOs sighting in the late 40's is beyond anything we can do now. They are either atmospheric phenomena or aliens.

You should read the "aliens have already intervened to prevent nuclear launches" conspiracy lol

That shit out of Isreal was pretty nuts
