There's a difference between posting some video online and actually reporting a UFO as a military/commercial pilot in the U.S. While there is a section in the regs (FARs) for reporting UFOs, what they don't tell you in there is that there may be consequences up to and including the revocation of your medical certificate (which is necessary to keep flying) for 'health reasons.' And while you may jump through the hoops to get reinstated, they don't have to give it back to you for any reasons they like. Hence, most American pilots I know are very reticent to actually report UFOs.
I have seen a couple things I have no explanation for, but without rock-solid evidence, I would never make an actual report of a UFO to the FAA.
And while it seems that the FAA is becoming more understanding of these things, I'm too old to take that chance and then have to start a new career. I'll feel free to talk my *ss off once I'm retired.
