I see one analyst has a theory that "most" ("all"?) UAP are Chinese drones.

The Foo Fighters: Today's Pilots Encounters with UAP Are Nothing New

World War II Pilots were among the first to have unusual aerial Encounters Graeme Rendall
15 Apr 2021


A series of encounters between US Navy fighter jets and strange,
unknown aerial phenomenon (UAP) in 2004 and 2015, together with more
recent incursions into American military exercise areas, has stirred
up both interest and debate in the UFO subject since the now-infamous
FLIR videos were released into the public domain in 2017. Of course,
these were not the first instances of pilots seeing strange flying
objects at close quarters, as numerous accounts of American and
British military pilots being sent aloft to investigate sightings of
UFOs have been recorded since the late 1940s and early 1950s.

What is not generally appreciated by those engaged with the subject is
that even these encounters were not the first time that military
aircrew had witnessed odd lights and even stranger-looking craft in
the skies at close range. In some cases, pilots even fired at these
mysterious aerial intruders. To properly examine these cases, we have
to go back to World War Two and the stories of what had been known at
the time as Foo Fighters (that's right, Dave Grohl didn't come up with
his band's name on his own).

Background: What You Know About The Foo Fighters May Well Be Wrong

Ask most UFO enthusiasts about the Foo Fighters and you will probably
hear vague stories about US Army Air Force night-fighter crews who saw
balls of light following their aircraft over Germany during the last
months of World War Two. They may cite the Smokey Stover cartoon,
popular among aircrew at the time, as the origin of the name "Foo
Fighter". Some may even throw in cases from the Pacific Theatre of
Operations, again dating from the final year of the war, when crews
watched "balls of fire" pacing their B-29 Superfortresses on missions
over Japan.

While this is a good start, the established narrative regarding the
Foo Fighters has been largely incorrect for as long as I can remember, especially when it comes to identifying when the phenomenon
began. Pick up a UFO book that covers the subject and you will likely
be told that sightings of Foo Fighters started at the end of Nov
1944 when the term was invented by a member of the 415th Night Fighter
Squadron serving in France. We have an article printed in the Dec
1945 edition of American Legion Magazine to thank for this. It listed
the 415th NFS mystery light reports beginning in Nov 1944,
stating "this is the way they began". Authors in the 1950s and 1960s
seemed to take this statement at face value, and so the legend of the
Foo Fighters began on a false premise.

What is less well known is that Royal Air Force bomber crews had been
reporting strange lights, luminous objects, and large "aeroforms" in
the skies over Germany since March 1942. The small number of UFO
researchers who have looked at the subject in depth have discovered a
huge number of sightings spanning the globe from 1942 onwards,
although if you look hard enough, there are also reports of strange
lights dating back to the time of the German invasion of Belgium in
May 1940. Although the American night-fighter crews used the term Foo Fighters, the phenomenon had been known by many other names prior to
that phrase being coined. Terms such as "meteors" and "rockets" were
often used in official reports, but many RAF pilots simply referred to
the phenomenon as "The Light" or "The Thing". What is also not widely
known is that lights were not the only items aircrews reported
seeing. Huge cylindrical objects with portholes, inverted "bathtubs"
and huge "blankets" were also sighted.
