Drones

[Del.]

What's up with the drones flying over New Jersey. No one seems to know.

Everyone seems to think it's Iran, but the pentagon says it's not. So it's Iran.

Yet no one says who it is. Just weird.

Alien Invasion next up 
I guess...."someone" could try this? https://www.vesselfinder.com/
Failing that, Ima sure Goobermint has access to military satellites to check who or even better, send one of the naval ships out to check

The default go-to answer for the gov't is "that's just starlink flares"

They might be in other places too...
Over Minnesota

[Jeff]

If it's not our military, shoot the fuckers down.

That's like 10 minutes from my house! I'm in FL right now though so I didn't see anything except sun and palm trees.

Not if they fly over military bases. 

January 20th can't get here quickly enough for me.
Biden has been THEE WORST Commander-in-Chief EVER.

From the Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to fly over the whole country, to these drones now that nobody seems to know anything about, it's clear that the United States does NOT have sovereign airspace, and the responsibility for that failure goes directly to the top of the chain of command.

There is a 100% probability that unidentified drones in our airspace on or after January 20th will be taken down by whatever means necessary.

It's no wonder people have lost trust in government.

I cycle back and forth between awe in the things our military can do and dumbfounded by what they don't know.

One may think the unidentified drones over NJ would allow perfect opportunity to showcase military equipment which is designed to eliminate drones.

The news is full of stories about relatively inexpensive drones being used in war zones to defeat conventional weapons....and at a fraction of the cost of conventional weaponry. I imagine the US military is developing or have created such systems to defend against that threat.

Imagine if the US military deployed a 'drone busting laser' in NJ and shot them down like flies. What effect would it have on foreign deterrence and national pride?

IMO, Bidens complete failure to show any backbone towards China is because his days of graft via direct China access to classified info at Biden-Penn State are being held over him as leverage.
