If they could come to Earth from systems light years away, they would probably ensure that they aren't detected...
I think it's just as likely that they don't care if they are detected.

I want you to think about what you just said. You said the likely explanation is extraterrestrial.
Even if it has no explanation, extraterrestrial is always the one with the massive unlikely assumption. It requires the assumption that a massively advanced race has built light speed travel and come to our planet and is unknown to us and is visiting. The pilot making a mistake interpreting a natural phenomena is always the more likely explanation. Its also worth mentioning that you need to trace these back to the source since they tend to become big fish stories on the blogosphere after a while.
Thunderf00t on YouTube has several videos dissecting this kind of thing. Hes a scientist with a strong understanding of instrumentation and optics.
Assuming the UFO's are not simply an illusion of optics, I think it's most likely extraterrestrial. Technology this advanced could not be human, as it's such a massive leap from what we have now.
I'll check out his videos.
