Lack of information on mysterious drone sightings sparking conspiracy theories

The Department of Homeland Security says there's no evidence of a threat to public safety from the mysterious drone sightings that have been reported across multiple states recently, but online speculation has given rise to conspiracy theories. CBS News' Naomi Ruchim has more.

The truth is going to be very embarrassing, no matter what it is.

Reality is that this is either human or non-human. So far we have not been able to confirm that this is human.

[glennmmorris]

You can't call anything a conspiracy theory until it's proven wrong.

Why no closeups of these drones? No clear photos or videos of rotors or wings, just lights! Are they really drones as what we know?

[lindawadeok]

Oh sure the average drone hobby is owns a drone the size of a bus... Good grief these people are such bobbleheads

[perserverance]

Stop using the word drone they are not drones.

"May be copycats"...where can i buy one of those SUV size drones😂😂😂

I just uploaded footage of the New Jersey “drones” that my sister has been filming over her condo . Maybe someone can give their opinion on the footage for us?

Those drones are nuke sniffers looking for gamma radiation. They just need to tell people. Noone is going to panic from the known. Its the unknown that makes people panic. And alerting the public to possible suitcase style nukes will have them working toward the same goal of finding them if they exist in these areas.

The feds are gonna be sorry they waited too long .

They had to close down wright Patterson Air Force base in Ohio airspace for several hours because of the drones

[boilinabag]

there are millions of hi res dslr cameras with 400mm zoom lenses, and no one in the nyc metro has any photos? this is a prank.

[rosariomarques]

All those news are incongruent and even ridiculous. But it seems that behind all this is an expensive operation, probably a social and behavioural experience. If so the privacy of USA citizens is being violated. Be aware!

[michaelbuchanan]

We Know they Know. They just don't want us to know what they Know.

[brianmarkle]

All this technology in space and we can't see.Where these drones are coming will wow millions and billions of dollars and you can't find them

[marky]

It is NJ - it is the USA's annual Proctology exam?

[roxannaonuwa]

If they don't present a danger, why did they set up a "no fly zone" over Frumpy's golf course?

[asynchronicity]

One of them just did a total memory wipe on my Dachshund Wesley!

[Krptokrayon]

And the drones do pose a risk. Their is recent report of someone filming a drone strike on a passenger jet engine . The jet had to make an emergency landing. (According to the report.)

Has anyone questioned Elon Musks brother? Kimbal Musk bought a drone company and he owns over 9, 000 drones.
