Kind of back to my point: You can, of course, invent any weird hypothetical, but there is no justification to consider it in any hypothesis absent any need for it.

There are not many possible explanations this is either earth tech e.g. someone discovered new physics and kept it very secret and has this tech (but for some reason decided to flash it) or it's not earth tech.
Or it isn't any tech but I mix of sensor glitches, misperceptions etc. - no need to go for far out explanations.
Yep multiple pilots, IR targeting system, regular video camera and multiple radars all glitched for multiple minutes in a consistent manner is very high probability event
Vastly higher probability than new physics, extraterrestrials, or unknown advanced civilizations on earth. (Setting aside that not everything needs to glitch, but things could combine with misinterpretations etc.)
