Is there really any clear correlation between this video and the UAV buzzing the ships? The ‘pyramid’ video was also suggested as being one of these drones but it’s pretty apparent that’s not necessarily the case. That could have been any number of things and so can this one. I know the media is implying this, but is there any primary source claiming the objects are all from the same source?
There doesn’t seem to be much doubt that there were mystery drones harassing the ships. I’m sure this caused the fleet to be alert to, and take a close look at, anything in the vicinity over this period. There’s all kinds of stuff in the skies these days and not all of it is immediately identifiable. This one may not be a weather balloon but the reason for that isn’t going to be because there are also drones.
Its prudent to consider all options according to the information available. Though, like you said, there’s likely a lot more existing information not available to us. I’m honestly not yet even convinced the Navy doesn’t have a decent guess what these videos are, even if they’re genuinely stumped on the origin of the drones. The only thing that suggests they might not are vague canned responses from Public Relations saying ‘yeah, we took this video and it’s included in ongoing examinations’.
Not everything sent to the UAPTF is going to be something incredible. I’m aware of what people like Elizondo and Mellon are saying but they’re not acting in an official government capacity, that we know of.
Shouldn't YOU know? I kid I kid..(your screen name)
The correlation is the dates / leaks / navy verification. It was 6 ships iirc in the initial report off the coast of California, and the Omaha was an additional addition based on Mystery Wire reporting.
"The video was recorded inside the Omaha’s command center just before 11 p.m. on
July 15, 2019. The image on the screen shows a six-foot in diameter sphere that traveled alongside the Omaha for about an hour."

The events for the whole story was july 14th - 15th.
I don't think we can extract the video from the context/snoopie teams/and naval investigation to just say its a one off balloon. HOWEVER, the balloon theory in combination with drones, and a potential adversary is a compelling argument being made.

From the same source thats been very thorough with all of this information. It is well worth a read, and might be more alarming than any of the fringe ideas. A adversary submarine, openly testing the US defense systems unopposed. This concept is a combination of all things, but 1 explanation doesn't cover the seeming gamut. "In November 2019, we went on to lay out how submarines
can launch their own aerial drones and have been able to so for far longer than most realize."
"
Nearly two years ago, I wrote a widely circulated
piece that addressed my thoughts on the Pentagon's sudden willingness to talk about UFOs and its potential implications. I went through the possibilities as I saw them, but above all else, it was clear that this wasn't some over-hyped myth. Something strange was indeed going on.
Soon after, we were the
first to connect key technologies that had emerged around the time that sightings of certain types of mysterious UAPs began to accelerate amongst military personnel—in particular, Navy fighter pilots. This was largely based around new air defense data-fusion and networking capabilities being installed on Navy warships and aircraft, as well as the proliferation of
Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars on
Navy fighters and
airborne early warning and control planes. We also noted that the most remarkable appearances of these objects seemed to correlate with major Navy exercises where these advances in air defense capabilities were being fully integrated across a Carrier Strike Group. In other words, it seemed that these mysterious craft had a very keen interest in America's latest and greatest operational counter-air capabilities."
The Navy is in a tough spot. Either they know what these are, and haven't been able to really, do anything about these infringements. So much so that congress is demanding answers in a detailed report. OR, they do not know where they are coming from, are infringing on US airspace, and again, they aren't even capable of identifying these. But as the above article points out, this is really the Air Forces job, however the Navy actually has the newest technology when it comes to identifying drones. Which has a correlation with these encounters sightings.
Fravor/TicTac allegedly saw the UFO's coming from a "747" sized wake/disturbance in the water.
"David Fravor first came forward in a bombshell New York Times article in December 2017, describing how his squadron witnessed a 747-sized object just under the surface of the water during training exercises in the Pacific Ocean, 160km off the coast of San Diego."

I'm sure that 'size' is debatable as far as eyeballing something under a refractive surface from an f18. But this once again highlights a problem with not only identifying drones, but also, submarines off the coast of a military target like California.
