It is absolutely relevant that the previous admin allowed the (ridiculous IMHO) panic over this to continue and pretended that they had no clue what was happening and then at the first press briefing under the new admin they just put the whole thing to rest.
To be fair there was a classified briefing to members of congress and the whole thing practically died down overnight.

Even that took way too long.

Could have just said, "it's us" publicly, and that's it. It's not like someone would shoot it down to see what it is.

Why answer the question, "It's us," will bring when you can have people freak out and let the next admin handle it?

Benefit of burying it in Trump's first 10 days of epic change.

There’s still a chance that this is a great cover up stunt by Trump admin.

Not saying that I think so, but this would be the flip side.

If Biden's admin gives literally the same word-for-word answer, it begets tons of follow up questions and headlines. They didn't (and apparently still don't) want to answer those questions. So they passed the buck. Answering the way they did doesn't make the Trump admin look good. It's just a relative non-story compared to everything else they've got going on.

It is more forthcoming to the American people than saying 'you're just seeing airplanes'.

What it was approved for is all secondary and anyone can leave it at where they did yesterday. The main point is that they knew the entire time exactly what it was and were on top of it and monitoring it the entire time.

That’s fascinating. How can you tell?

They're public on FlightAware. And they are very recognizable IMO.
