Are there good alternatives to "obviously" here? "seemingly" perhaps?

Ah, "seemingly" wouldn't work as an alternative to "obviously" here. "Seemingly" implies that it appears as if, or "apparently." Whereas "obviously" means that it's easily perceived or understood. Some alternatives to "obviously" here are: "clearly," "of course," or even a very informal "duh!" Ex: Clearly, they flew! Ex: They flew, of course! Ex: Well, duh, they flew!
