Starlink / satellite-train UAP confuser.

The dominant modern false-positive in UAP reporting: SpaceX Starlink satellite trains and passes, which produce strings of moving lights that AARO increasingly resolves reported sightings to.
Credible measurement starts by ruling this out (satellite-pass apps, launch windows). Alongside birds-as-orbs (compression artifacts), sensor glare, drones and balloons, it explains why instrumented programs keep finding 'mostly mundane' - and why a naive sightings surge often tracks satellite deployments.
