    I guess the army doesn’t know a drone from a plane then? the following comes from the DOD.

    _We have had confirmed sightings at Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle," the spokesperson said

    “To date, we have no intelligence or observations that would indicate that they were aligned with a foreign actor or that they had malicious intent,” the spokesperson said. “But … we don’t know. We have not been able to locate or identify the operators or the points of origin.” _

      we have no intelligence or observations (…) we don’t know. We have not been able to locate or identify

      They have no clue by their own admission.

      To claim that what amounts to a literal UFO might belong to a hostile actor just because you don’t know that it doesn’t is irresponsible at best, scaremongering jingoism at worst.

      Crazy how you can have a budget in the trillions for national security but “Idk, maybe their not unfriendly? We need another six months to look into it” is the best our top military brass can come up with.

      Really makes you think about how easy 9/11 was to pull off.
