Unfortunately - those sightings started in 2004, well after it became plausible for human technology to replicate the visual effect of such objects — so unless the witnesses actually went up and confirmed that the objects were solid craft and not some sort of visual effect, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that there's "no way they are from here".
That doesn't mean that they weren't alien craft of some kind — just that if we want to be really honest, after the mid 1980s ( post Strategic Defense Initiative ) — there's no way short of a mother ship tour that anyone can be sure that the objects we are assuming are alien craft aren't some kind of human tech.
Her descriptions and the different formations; consisting mainly of lonely road encounters are exactly like some that are described in that article archive from decades ago, and are identical to mine, too; appearing in the same way in nearly identical formations, so I think they are all the same phenomenon. In my case, the attendant circumstances dispel any doubt in my mind that what I saw was not something manufactured by humans. I also don't see what the point of shocking civilians with these kinds of encounters for decades would be, if this was some kind of human tech appearing fully formed decades ago. In my case my first sighting is absolutely connected to the Trent photos; thus I am convinced that it is the same intelligence behind the McMinnville object and the objects myself and others have seen. In Leroy Chiao's case he saw them fly by him in space, and later changed his story to fishing vessels. I suspect the objects that we have seen are some sort of persistent nanotechnology used for surveillance and also as a form of contact, but I have no way to prove these things.
Her sightings occurred at around the same time Leroy Chiao saw the objects from the ISS.
...But, no one cares. Just the folks who have seen them for whatever reason. People want a big government announcement or some high-ranking military individual to tell them that UFOs are real, etc. etc. so on and on it goes.
