On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump nevertheless insisted at a press conference that “something strange is going on” and claimed government officials “don’t want to tell the people” what’s happening. “I think they’d be better off saying what it is,” Trump said. “Our military knows and our president knows, and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense.”
A joint statement from the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Defense Department, and the FBI separately said that over 5,000 drone sightings have been reported to authorities in recent weeks. The agencies found 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.”
Over one million drones are lawfully registered with the FAA and “thousands” of them are in the skies of the U.S. on any given day, the statement said. “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,” it added.
From the videos I've seen, there's dozens if not hundreds and they're not those little drones you buy at the electronics store so you can video your neighbour's wife tanning herself in her backyard. These are large, they're everywhere, they've interfered with airport function and even the governor of New York is demanding answers. "Nah, it's nothing, nothing to see here" is not acceptable.
