Over the past month, citizens across the United States have been reporting a mysterious phenomenon: unidentified drones appearing in various locations, sometimes near sensitive areas like U.S. military bases both in America and Europe.
The phenomenon, which began in New Jersey, has recently spread to other states and even to American military bases in Germany, causing widespread public concern.
Reports and Theories
More than a thousand reports and dozens of documented sightings have been recorded in New Jersey alone, alongside thousands of reports from other states. While the public remains confused, authorities' silence has led to a proliferation of conspiracy theories.
Over the weekend, the U.S. administration issued a joint statement from the White House, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security, denying any connection to security threats. "Most sightings result from misidentification of light aircraft or helicopters," said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
However, some voices are questioning these explanations. Laura Bullman, a former CIA officer, claimed the administration is withholding information and suggested the possibility of a secret Biden administration experiment.
President-elect Donald Trump has joined the conversation, calling for answers from the administration. "These drones are everywhere – clearly the administration knows about this!" he posted on his social media platform, even suggesting shooting them down.
Trump later used the incident for political humor, posting a doctored image of drones carrying food deliveries while mocking his critic Chris Christie's eating habits.
Despite attempts to calm public fears, the FBI has acknowledged that a small portion of the reports warrant deeper investigation, particularly those near sensitive facilities.
Meanwhile, the public remains without clear answers as the mysterious drones continue to raise questions. Is this a technological experiment, an external threat, or mass confusion? The answers might be close, but for now, the mystery continues.
