Some of them are, but then with some, great pains are taken to describe how they are not like meteors. And when some are observed through binoculars, maneuver, hover for long periods, buzz folks in their cars etc., they are not meteors. Cigar shaped objects with lights maneuvering, or in formation, are not meteors. Objects coming out of the ocean and flying in formation are not meteors. I actually weeded out ball lightning, sprites, Auroras, comets, most meteors and other natural phenomena; there was a lot. In one case a huge ball of blue fire came out of the sky and sheared off the masts of a ship.
