In the movie “Men in Black” Agent “K” (Tommy Lee Jones) and Agent “J” (Will Smith) deadpan the usual explanations given by the government for UFO sightings – swamp gas and weather ballons, etc. The government’s explanation for drones flying over New Jersey, other states, and US military installations sounds suspiciously like its old explanation for UFO sightings.
In a briefing before the House Intelligence Committee, representatives of the FBI, CIA, Defense Department, and Department of Homeland Security informed congress that there does not appear to be one single source for the drone flights, and there does not appear to be an ulterior motive involved. They attributed the drone sightings to aircraft, hobbyists, and helicopters operating legally, and they denied any government involvement. [1]
I am not a UFO nut. I will believe in UFO’s when one lands, and the occupants introduce themselves to us. I am not a conspiracy theorist, either. It could be that the explanation given to congress is correct.
However, there are apparent inconsistencies in the explanation. The size and number of the drones are not consistent with what hobbyists can obtain or afford. The drones dart sideways, backward, and they “go dark’ when approached. I do not know of any fixed wing aircraft or helicopters operated by civilians or the military that are able to move that way. That is why the government’s explanation about the drones is suspicious.
The cavalier response by the Biden Administration and their fellow democrats at the state and local level is also concerning. If as initially stated, governmental agencies did not know the source of the drone flights, why did they not respond immediately and in force? It would seem that if they did not know the source, they couldn’t know whether they were a threat to public safety. Is this a repeat of the Biden Administration’s lackadaisical response to the Chinese spy balloon? Or, did they know the source, and is that why they didn’t think an immediate response was necessary?
Most Americans are not conspiracy theorists, but they aren’t
stupid either. We know a smoke screen
when we see one.
