So why didnt FAA advise the public about this to give everybody this ahead up???

[IHGChick]

Not buying it. They appeared in many cities, most with military bases. Where I live they appeared between midnight and 3 am. Not a "hobbyist" time frame, sorry.

[davescheer]

Those drones are in a lot of places the ones here in St Pete area are big the size of a small aircraft, these are not hobbyist, Amazon, Walmart, or pizza delivery, they fly only at night time, they ain’t telling us something !

[JessicaDuBois]

But the government said they didn't know anything about it at the time LOL

[markirving]

What research was being done? And this question is coming from a staunch.President trump supporter

[TheHiddenBooger]

I call BS! Drones cannot fly faster than planes then go into the ocean without a splash ! Or follow flights to and from the UK….

[AdoMar-B]

What a minute, for research and other reasons? WE The people would like to know the other reasons.

[MichaelKroepfl]

Why couldn’t they say this with Biden makes no sense

[JohnBales-nbqz]

Why didn't they say that when it was brought up!

[jeffarp]

Somebody is telling a lie, nothing about what she makes any sense.

[tonybuckley]

There you go folks ‘various other reasons’

[sheilagadde]

Why did they LIE about it when the Public inquired? We are sick of the Lies.
Thank you for clearing this up.

[olivertoeknuckleiii]

This young woman is awesome! Without needing the binder she was able to actually ANSWER questions and I believe she will tell the truth! Remember when KJP always deferred questions and when she said for flow years that “I know Joe Biden, and he runs circles around his staff!!!” Fun fact - Biden spent 600 days out of office and on vacation. Trump got more diplomacy done Sunday than Biden did in 100 days while golfing!

[elliemartowicz]

Finally, some updates. I don't believe a word she says.

[DouglasCasey-hy]

Those so called drones did things that drones don't do.

[texmex]

Nope. Some of these drones were different. Unlike any other.

[A-defended-By-A]

Various other
Nah, that's not good
No better than Bidens deceit.

[archiehendricks]

Hey Gene Pierre this is how you’re supposed to perform your duties like this young lady

[ClwnJuNkY]

She is awesome ! Almost as good as Kayleigh !!!

[erikt]

I love Trump, but this sounds like bullshit
