Except for spreading panic amongst these within the space (and throughout the nation), the drones have additionally brought about points with different plane. Final month, a medevac helicopter was prevented from touchdown to select up a automotive crash sufferer due to drones flying within the space. And simply final night time, the airspace round Wright Patterson Air Pressure Base in Ohio was pressured to close down because of drones flying within the space.
For essentially the most half, the federal government hasn’t appeared to present us any solutions as to what’s happening. Lawmakers from New York and New Jersey lately demanded a briefing with the Division of Homeland Safety, the FAA and the FBI to debate “how the businesses are working with federal and native legislation enforcement to determine and tackle the supply of latest unmanned aerial system exercise.”
And the Biden administration is being accused of withholding data from the general public and being “dismissive” of the priority in regards to the drones, with one Nationwide Safety Council official of principally saying that folks have been mistaking airplanes for drones, whereas Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitting that persons are seeing drones however insisting that there’s no hazard and that the federal government has it beneath management:
“There very properly could also be drones within the sky, after all, however these are commercially out there. One can go right into a comfort retailer and purchase a small drone. However we all know of no menace or nefarious exercise.”
Says the man answerable for securing the southern border…
The ignorance has led to plenty of theories which have popped up over the previous few days, together with one widespread video speculating that the drones are trying to find a lacking nuclear weapon that was smuggled into the nation:

At this time, Trump as soon as once more addressed the drones and accused the federal government of realizing greater than what they’re saying, one thing Pentagon spokesman John Kirby denied.

So lengthy story brief, no one has any thought what the fuck is happening, and the federal government isn’t telling us something.
However with the panic over the drones and the ignorance, apparently the FBI is apprehensive that persons are going to begin taking issues into their very own arms.
The FBI Newark at present issued an announcement asking people to not shoot down the drones, or shine lasers at them, as a result of they might by accident mistake a manned plane for a drone:
“FBI Newark and New Jersey State Police wish to warn the general public about a rise in pilots of manned plane being hit within the eyes with lasers as a result of individuals on the bottom assume they see an Unmanned Plane Programs (UAS). There’s additionally a priority with individuals presumably firing weapons at what they consider to be a UAS however might be a manned plane.”

All I’ve received to say is that they’re in all probability fortunate that these drones aren’t flying over the southern states. I’m initially from West Virginia, and I can simply see anyone taking pictures down a multi-million greenback drone or no matter it’s flying over their home. (Or some meth head takes one down and steals the copper out of it).
Now, let’s be sincere: No one believes that the federal government DOESN’T know what these drones are, proper? If there wasn’t some stage of presidency that knew what they have been, would they actually simply shrug them off and allow them to fly? In fact not.
That makes me assume that they’re our personal authorities flying the drones for some motive, however the truth that so a lot of our authorities officers are being stored at the hours of darkness makes it appear to be some type of super-classified operation.
However then once more, what do I do know. Perhaps Rosie O’Donnell is true they usually’re actually aliens…
