    Yes, I’ve been flying drones across the deleware river to prank y’all. Get pranked!

    /jk

    My speculation is: (this is purely a speculation)

    There was one or two drones that was flying around, possibly kids messing around, possibly military drone tests, then, with that “unidentified drone” news in mind, people just see lights in the sky from planes take off or on approach to landing and then they would look like “drones” floating, when its a fucking commercial jetliner!

    People seeing what they want to see, or are making things up for attention. I could just film a plane on a shitty phone and use the zoom camera all the way onto plane, add a bit a shaky cam effect by intentionally shaking the phone, then post on social media “OMG ALIENS!”

    Y’all think the US military let foreign drones or aliens in the airspace and not shoot it down or jam it?

    🙄

      I just want one reporter to ask “Can you confirm that if this was indeed a top secret military program in development, that your first response would be to deny it was the military to keep the program secure?”

      Like stop asking if it’s the military, get to the point and ask if you’d be told to deny it if it was the military.

      Personally, I think it’s ramping up for a surveillance drone state in the US. As the homeland security administrator said, they’ve been concerned about how people talk on the internet for some time, long before Luigi Mangione popped off. They’ve viewed their own citizens as the enemy for a long time now, and the mask has been slipping hard.

      I did this to a friend once lol I was walking on one of those days you can see the moon during the day and since there was a clear sky I just zoomed in and shook my phone a bit to make it appear to be moving lol
