If you want more from this, then you would have to get folks to contribute to enhancing our detection and tracking capabilities to the point of identifying the unidentified objects. Distill the technology down to simpler and smaller devices that can be fitted onto more aircraft, ships, satellites, etc. Perhaps apply machine learning to piece together sensor data. Widen the useful spectrum of data that is gathered.


I agree that such an effort is needed for serious study, or maybe the weeks of radar tracks the navy may get declassified if enough scientists are interested, but I think there is ample performance data available from the pilots themselves to give us order of magnitude estimates of what they are capable of. From this trained experts can deduce much. I envision clever people having insights like this: http://www.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca/people/codoban/PHY138/...
