That’s a great question. Too bad the previous administration never answered it.

Congress needed to pass a Continuing Resolution at the time. They needed as many people distracted as possible.

What kind of research now becomes the question.

I now fully believe the story that this was a US sanctioned op either looking for lost nuclear material or training for such an event

Yep. Only half the story has been released. What is the other half?

Probably FAA is being used as cover to test new technology for drone tracking. Testing distances, counts, elevation, night/day, thermal, targeting, etc.

I don’t think Brandon even knew what was going with the drones, that old bag of bones was so fricking checked out. I really don’t know the he made any decisions in the last 12 months of his term.

Ground crews would be 1000x more effective at that vs drones that are hundreds of feet in the air.

“They were searching for a missing nuke” never made any sense.

So can someone follow up with the congressman who said unequivocally that he had rock solid intel that it was iranian drones being launched from a mothership in the atlantic?

We are just the general public. The previous administration felt we didn't even merit the courtesy of this kind of update.

It was a counter UAS research project. Usual three letter agency nonsense. No real transparency because they don’t have to tell us the details

So not aliens like so many clowns believed? Not shape shifting "orbs?"

So, I'll ask the question again......"lost nuclear material" is a pretty big deal, so why would they only search for it at night? I didn't see a single video of any of these drones that was taken during daytime.

Yes, he's a liar and a nut. Or, he's gullible and stupid. Maybe both.
