The immediate question that springs to mind is why the US Navy with all its sophisticated technologies were not able to identify these as known aircraft or balloons.

If they could identify these objects, why lie?

If they could not and these are in fact explainable as known craft/balloons, doesn't that imply a serious security risk?

Because the objects are products of the US gov't research.

Most likely, IMO, guided MRVs being tested. ...that's why the folks at ArmsControlWonk are suggesting as well.
