While my dog may have a "smartphone," although she has never revealed it to me, and I don't pay the bills for it, I don't, never have, and hope to never drink that "Kool Aid.."
Honestly, never felt the need to communicate at the beck and call of others.

Fair play to you,I was just musing on the fact that nearly everyone is carrying around their very own HD video camera and the odds would be that someone somewhere would capture clearly credible footage of extraterrestrial beings, lights in the sky could be any number of things, actual clear footage of an extraterrestrial craft is another thing entirely.

While I don't feel the need for a tin foil hat, and I'm not, and never have been a conspiracy theorist, what Science has learned about the cosmos over the last decades, leads me to believe that is is hubris to assume that we are the only intelligent(?) life forms in the Universe... The odds are just agasinst it.
My opinion only...

The real difficulty would be to have two intelligent life forms occur at the same time, close enough in space to each other for them to discover each other.

What confuses me is the aeronautical configuration. How do you come up with a flying pyramid? This isn't something being discussed in any of the comments I've read, but it's plain from the U.S. aircraft cameras that the objects are pyramid shaped, and not just delta winged. And since we're pretty much alone in this section of the Milky Way (by the absolute silence from SETI), they are either inter-dimensional visitors, or from @TobyC neighbourhood. We won't know until we find empty alien beer cans.

Consider how "good" most footage captured using phones is when it's darker. Even at well lit venues, the footage oftem emds up being a shaky mess, and that's filming of events as clones as a few metres.
Most smartphones' telephoto abilities are effectively none, and there aren't that many people carrying phones that have upper midrange/high end phones that have several cameras on their backs and those devices haven't been on the market that long, either.
Plus, people don't actually look up that often.

Doesn't look like a delta wing but if what Toby posted earlier is that, then it's more a triangle than a pyramid. The lights wouldn't necessarily copy the exact shape of the aircraft.
A military or surveillance craft is unlikely to put on such a light show, although that light isn't necessarily in the visible spectrum. Then again, it pulses like lights on commercial planes do.
Makes it all that more fun to speculate, though. :)
