Are the Navy pilots actual eye witnesses to seeing these crafts or are they eye witnesses to whatever is electronically displayed to their HUDS/Helmets/lenses?

It seems every video I've come across, it was all electronic so it has me thinking just a software error.

Every video I've seen, too, has been from some sort of electronic sensor. The US Navy was working on Project NEMESIS at least as far back as 2019, which sought to (and likely did) develop the means to spoof electronic signatures.

They’ve had “drones” (more like gliders) since the gulf war that can fake electronic signatures of different planes. They worked well and were targeted by Iraqi defenses.

How about cell phone video?[0]

Can you point out what's happening in the video? I don't see anything

The orb is seen whizzing past just after 8s in the video. It doesn't look much bigger than a basketball but the relative distance is hard to judge.

A balloon?

There's something captured flying by the camera as it is pointing sideways.
