Slow, Slow, Quick-Quick, Slow

Seems that having slow-moving, aerial information gathering devices has a distinct advantage over things that move swiftly. A fast-moving object can be caught up with by an intercepting jet to determine exactly what it is, whereas they just zip past slow-moving objects and spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what the hell it is, giving it ample time to observe whatever it's observing.

Slow-moving spying devices can be beneficial because they allow for longer observation times, which can result in more comprehensive and detailed intelligence gathering. For example, slow-moving spy planes equipped with advanced cameras and sensors can gather high-resolution imagery and other valuable data over an extended period of time.

Then there's the fact the Americans might be shooting down alien craft, which might have dire consequences for harmonious, intergalactic relations.....
