(tl;dr some researchers theorizing that there is an unidentified plasma life form that lives in the upper atmosphere and occasionally dips low enough that we see them - this would also encompass "ball lightning" phenomena which are apparently still not fully understood)

Two categories of sightings have been observed: drones and orbs. Many orbs turn out to be chinese lanterns or bokeh effect from distant drones and aircraft, but assuming any of the orbs are real and something novel, the non-civ drones could either be studying them or part of the gaslighting/disinformation campaign.
