If they don't know what the flying objects are the old term would be: UFOs.

[lunog]

What about starting to call them unidentified flying objects for a change.

[what-it-do]

There are only 2 reasons why the Government isn't taking these so-called "Drones" seriously.. 1) They are just playing the waiting game and hoping they just go away like they did over Colorado 5 yrs. ago. 2) They know what they are, and they know they can't do anything about them due to past engagements with them.

The ORBS mixed in there and I’ve seen several are not what I would call a drone.

[pattycarljackson]

I agree with trump. We spend 800 billion on our military and they’re going to tell us we don’t know where these things came from or what they are.

[epicchannel]

If the government doesn't make an honest effort in calming people down then they don't want people calm. This situation is stupid and absolutely ridiculous.

Why is only local and news nation covering this, the other networks just gave up ?

[ashlaunicaalpari]

If you logically think about this….. The government is refusing to tell us what this is and it’s starting to cause panic. Therefore….
You have to ask yourself, what possibly could be worse forcing their silence that they fear will cause a worse panic?

[joesmith]

"feds won't define flying objects" ....well what the hell are we paying taxes for ??? Aren't they supposed to be investigating this and letting the citizens know what's going on ....? WTF ?!?!??

[zachstone]

As if we needed another reason to not trust our government. Its a disgrace.

[willbrown]

I love it how the media is putting airplanes with contrails videos up and saying they're drones....

[invisigoth]

notice, she said they "can't say" what they are... and that is the problem... they can say, they just WONT say

[lescobrandon]

At least operators of the mystery objects are using required green and red colored flashing lights. Like airline’s do.

[marklags]

If I see one crash, the last people I'm calling is the government. I'll take my chances and call my friends to go investigate.

[jeffg]

Secretary of DHS Mayorkas, who insists the border is “secure”, says there is nothing to worry about. OK

[johnnyryan]

"UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT"

[E_Dubb]

The government has definitively said they cannot identify these craft, and they cannot definitively determine if they are drones. That leaves one and only one explanation: Unidentifiable Flying Objects

[Robbie]

That's total bull crap, that the US government don't know what they are 😂😂😂

[kamnyc]

What may seem like a mere coincidence is worth noting: reports of drone sightings began in mid-November, and on December 2, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission disclosed that a medical device containing radioactive material was "lost in transit" in New Jersey.

If it's true that they are sniffing for something it would make sense they don't want to tell over a million people to evacuate the state. Plus, they are sniffing in other states as well they may not know where the materials are. There would be a massive, public panic if they told the American public the truth.

Just like Trump said, they know exactly what they are and then they asked him if he had been briefed on the matter and he said " No comment" which means he also knows what they are.
