Sure. Then the Pentagon needs to simply say these are our drones and they pose no risk to the American public. By not saying anything at all, they're fueling conspiracy theories and panic.

Well I guess they’ve decided that’s a lesser evil than letting everyone know what’s going on.

They had to roll Kirby out yesterday at the WH. KJP would have made a total mess of this and terrified the nation or started a war. Kirby was silky smooth as usual and allowed everyone to read between the lines while saying nothing at all.

Has anyone presented any evidence that these aren't normal passengers planes, helicopters, and hobby drones? No. This is mass hysteria.

They have been spotted near US bases in the UK and Germany too.

The fact that we haven't makes me think they are domestic, probably DoD/IC skunk works of some kind.

But if they are ours, why would they conduct testing in such an irresponsible manner that is consuming huge amounts of domestic resources from the local police to the FBI to our own politicians in govt? These drones have been reported to have disrupted medical transport and have been followed by black hawk helicopters. They have been hovering over our own military bases, and those bases have said they aren't conducting tests.

It stinks to high heaven like it is a hostile nation state.

Because when you do Beta testing, things go wrong. They could not test them in the Nevada desert forever. They are seeing how they operate in urban areas.

It's very perplexing. These are clearly not drone hobbyists. And there's no chance the Russians or the Chinese have naval vessels off the Eastern seaboard launching drones. And these drones are big enough to take out a power plant. Yet the Biden Administration is letting them fly. When you are the lead story on CNN, you are well past beta testing.

It's mystifying why they are not shot down. I get bullets and missiles that miss have to fall down somewhere, and that's dangerous for civilians. But still, over water or farm fields or state parks and so on is well within our capabilities.

I really don't get what the Biden Administration is doing. These things are flying over Langley and other sensitive bases. And... no response. Except to tell everyone there are no worries. Which fine, but why test something in the most populated corner of America when it's going to be the lead story on cable news every hour?

It's all very bizarre. I suspect the Biden Administration doesn't know and doesn't care anymore. They are checked out and sleepwalking to January 20th.

Bingo.

They are not shot down, because they are ours. They fly over Langley because it’s home. This means Trump must know this, too. He will make a cryptic remark soon.
Our people want to see drones in action in urban areas, because that’s where they will be needed. Urban warfare of today has evolved tremendously in just the last few years, it’s what Ukraine and Syria have been dealing with. That’s the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Maybe its this dude.

Federal investigators arrested a 39-year-old man this week after accusing him of flying a drone and taking pictures of Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, an arrest that comes amid other high-profile drone swarms at U.S. military bases.

Yinpiao Zhou, a 39-year-old Chinese citizen and U.S. resident, was arrested Monday at San Francisco International Airport prior to an outbound flight to China, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said in a news release. He had most recently returned to the U.S. from China this past February, the office added.

If these are US Gov drones, why keep it up in recent days in the the midst of all the media attention?

While there has been no evidence of Russia being behind these incidents in Germany, they have all led to speculation about possible Kremlin involvement.

This comes amid growing concerns of Russian-inspired aggression against Germany, including drones, but also involving various other ‘hybrid warfare’ tactics.

Meanwhile, however, there’s no doubt that Germany — and its military bases — have been directly targeted.

In April of this year, two German-Russian nationals were arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting sabotage attacks, including on U.S. military facilities in the country. One of those individuals was accused of making plans to carry out bomb and arson attacks on military facilities and had allegedly taken photos and videos of military transports and equipment.

Why would the government lend credence to it then? If these were planes, helicopters and hobby drones, wouldn't the police and feds come out and say "we looked into it and these are planes, helicopters and hobby drones"? Instead of "hmmm, yes we see them too -- they aren't ours, we suspect they are foreign" which just ramps up the hysteria around them?

This could have been put to rest weeks ago if it really were nothing, if government investigators had just done a media blitz stating that the sightings weren't actually unidentified drones and provided some proof. Fringe people would have said conspiracy but most others would just accept it an move on.

Yet here we are.

Correct. I just saw about a dozen different videos posted on X claiming drones, with everybody demanding answers. The answer is right in front of them: air planes. It's embarrassing honestly. Hogan is going to be very embarrassed when he realizes it. And no, I am not in the Biden administration. I can't believe anybody thinks people from the administration are coming to DCUM to tamp down the hysteria. Again, please look closely at these videos, they are airplanes. From a distance, especially at night, planes will look like they're in the same spot for a bit.

Why has the Pentagon not said this then. The DoD has said they are drones, they aren't ours, and are probably foreign. Why would they do that if these were just a bunch of photos of airplanes? Or is the entire military also in the throes of mass hysteria?

I'm sure some of the sightings aren't drones but it's quite clear that many of them are.

You clearly have no clue. Watch the evening news at a minimum if you can’t even do basic research on what’s happening.

No one seems to see these things in the day time? But at night, they are taking photos of "mysterious red and green lights in the sky" and now every plane spotted is suddenly a drone? This by people who can't tell a drone from an airplane at night. I'm going to fly my drone tomorrow night and add to the hysteria.

Space X launches one rocket a week from Vandenberg. In total Elon Musk’s Space X has launched over 100 rockets from there often carrying multiple starlink satellites providing satellites to over 100 countries and satellites for the military.

I am surprised this isn’t bigger news.
