DHS, FBI, FAA & DoD Joint Statement on Ongoing Response to Reported Drone Sightings
Tuesday, December 17, 2024
There are more than one million drones lawfully registered with the FAA in the United States and there are thousands of commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones lawfully in the sky on any given day. With the technology landscape evolving, we expect that number to increase over time.
FBI has received tips of more than 5,000 reported drone sightings in the last few weeks with approximately 100 leads generated, and the federal government is supporting state and local officials in investigating these reports. Consistent with each of our unique missions and authorities, we are quickly working to prioritize and follow these leads. We have sent advanced detection technology to the region. And we have sent trained visual observers.
Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones. We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast.
That said, we recognize the concern among many communities. We continue to support state and local authorities with advanced detection technology and support of law enforcement. We urge Congress to enact counter-UAS legislation when it reconvenes that would extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities to identify and mitigate any threat that may emerge.
Additionally, there have been a limited number of visual sightings of drones over military facilities in New Jersey and elsewhere, including within restricted air space. Such sightings near or over DoD installations are not new. DoD takes unauthorized access over its airspace seriously and coordinates closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities, as appropriate. Local commanders are actively engaged to ensure there are appropriate detection and mitigation measures in place.
You silly civilians confusing stars with drones

The type of person who works for the government is the same, regardless of if it's the DMV or the 3 letter boys. They will happily file memos and direct you to different counters if your emissions paperwork is 1 day out of date, but when something actually important happens they take a 4 hour lunch and huddle around like lemmings waiting for a memo to tell them how to file more paperwork and reference an obscure job aid so as to make your life worse

It's about the mothership. Yes, there's a mother ship. We've known about it for over one hundred years. It's a massive burger shaped craft that stays under water around the Bermuda Triangle. It obliterates any human craft that gets near it (that's why so many things go "missing" there). It only surfaces to release or receive drones and destroy any threats.
It acts as a local manufacturing plant, producing "drones". Each drone is custom built to purpose. Some of the materials used in their construction can be found here on earth, but most can not. It produces mining drones to harvest these materials by laser.
It also produces drones that are more like buses. We think they treat the planet like a zoo and aliens come here for a safari like experience.
They are mostly harmless unless you get too close. They will try to flee or evade, but will lash out when cornered.
Their craft regularly crash and we collect and study the wreckage. We've been reversing engineering their technology for some time. Sometimes successfully, but mostly not.
Most major world powers are aware of their existence. The Chinese managed to reverse engineer a mining drone. But it exploded after a few seconds of use.

They don't need to be on the planet to be able to observe us. They could just be in low orbit like a satellite.
Anybody who thinks aliens are real is an idiot. Aliens don't exist anywhere in the universe. Alien rumours and "appearances" are trickery by the masonic order and inner sanctum of shriners.

That's the thing. Your average citycel doesn't. Everyone's staring at their phones all day.
R-slurred analogy, but it's like that recent article about the Michigan University DEI program. They told the kids to look for racism and bigotry. So they found it. In microagressions and misgendering and teachers reading Tom Sawyer
. Which caused reports to dramatically increase.
You have to understand, it takes a very low IQ to be a burger. Now these mongoloids see some schizo posts on facebook and they go outside. "Cletus, it's an alien get the recorder." B-word it's a plane.

The average prole is a fricking r-slur, you must remember. How the frick can you mix up a fricking cessna with a drone? R-slurs forgot that shit flies overhead all the fricking time? Just look at one of the flight trackers.
I'm sure one or two are daggone ol gumbint drones or other projects but they aren't gonna tell you that.
What do people think? The drones are going to take picture of their houses like fricking they can't do that with a satellite? Like we wouldn't see Chingchongs launch 6 gorillion drones off the east coast? We could hear a tiny unlicensed sub implode near the Titanic, but we can't see massive drone launches?

My completely unsupported schizo-adjacent theory is this is a psyop to get burger citizens as used to larger drone aircraft flying overhead as they are about regular aircraft flying over homeland airspace, ahead of the coming widespread adoption of drone usage for commercial, governmental, and military purposes in the near future.
