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
Anyway here's 1000 Breitbart comments on the joint statement

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.

It's not much of a safari from low earth orbit. They want to be up close.
Also I study them as part of my job. I've seen their craft in person.

No. I work for the government. I can only acknowledge things that the Air Force knows (cause they're r-slurred and we don't tell them much). Everything else is even kept from the commander in chief.

No. You probably wouldn't pass the background check that this government agency requires. You've probably never heard of it either. Go huff some more farts.

Where in the Bible does it mention aliens? What day did God create them in Genesis? Morons will ignore the most credible, historical source we have over a "scientific theory".

This is not the only one. They become more active during times of increasing tension and conflict. They do not want us to destroy their safari.

Careful what you wish for. They do occasionally perform abductions as part of some sort of fetish s*x tourism. I guess they have zoophiles too.
