Stop gaslighting the public. Government needs to address the people with even a shred of truth for a change.

Three weeks and they step in? The rapid deployment is awe inspiring.

Can you actually believe anything you are being told anymore

[psychfred]

Yeah, it’s totally normal for airports to close when drones occupy Federally restricted air space. Oh, Yeah, Oh, Hey, doncha know. Totally normal. You betcha.

Why are LE officers, coastguard members & others reporting seeing 20+ drones coming in from the ocean at one time?!! It’s not ordinary people all flying drones over NJ at the same time every night!! I doubt all these hundreds of reports are mistaken regular aircraft for drones!! Have you seen the hundreds of videos people have posted?!!

I had to register my drone and put the registration number on it back in 2020.

1) Create problem
2) Claim you need more power to fix problem
3) Get power
4) Mission accomplished

They're stealing your RIGHTS, it's just a smokescreen..

[dbone]

These have been in our skies for a long time here in sf. It’s nice people are finally seeing them somewhere and reporting it

[GC-RC]

It just keeps getting better. They're just regular old folks flying the suv sized "drones".

[shellc]

They’re going to blame it on hobbyists, even though they’re the size of cars. Myorkas is full of it.

[cjuvinall]

Legal to fly over military installations, airports and nothing gets done we need a registered law to enforce what is already a law?

[Shelly-mt]

If this was companies delivering packages, the govt would be told by them, you would think, and they don't work at night like this

[dalejr]

Gaslighting. If it’s ours and it’s classified then tell us that. If there looking for something that’s a hazard to the public they need to tell us.

[kellenwaters]

But, they’re all over the world, and they don’t all look the same. Why are they coming off the ocean? Why are they untrackable? Why so large but stay in the air for hours? How come we can’t grab one? Why are they able to hover over military bases completely undeterred?! Stop trying to downplay what’s going on!

Gov't: "We cannot, with any degree of accuracy, ascertain what exactly is flying 500ft above the nuclear warheads at this time."

Same Gov't: "Who's turn to steer the remote control car on Mars that sends those 4K images across the solar system in real time?"

[BruceD-lj]

Let's just say, these drones are above the law.

[YogiBear]

There ABSOLUTELY IS a national drone registration for drones this size...its with the FAA, so explain how they don't know what they are?

[DavidRose-xoib]

You notice how they got these 2 private individuals flying a drone over the military, but yet they can't get these big drones. That's kinda suspicious, I think.😊😊😊

Once I thought the threat to our health was the Healthcare industry. But now I understand it's Marsians
