I’ve seen news articles with photos of “alleged drones” that were obviously helicopters. There’s a video in this thread of a “drone” that appears to be a C-17.
They’ve been engineered to hide in “plane” site. There are too many reports of UFOs and drones that look like planes to be ignored. I’ve heard reports of UFOs and drones that have been designed to look exactly like commercial airplanes and some even carry passengers from one airport to another and the passengers were completely unaware!

The nuke theory doesn't hold up under scrutiny. If they are looking for a nuke, why stop at night and why not just tell the public this is a mass training exercise. If they had announced this was a training exercise, that would have been the end of it.

John Kirby was just on the Today Show live to answer Savanah's questions about this and holy frick is that a pompous, dismissive a-hole. Absolutely tonedeaf.

Definitely some mass-hysteria going on.

So what was his take?
Or did he just say "the public has no right to know what is happening?"

God forbid if they are looking for a nuke/ dirty bomb and it goes off? They don’t want Hysteria, they are going to get hysteria! They’ve known and had not properly cleared an area. This would make the Afghanistan exit look like a walk in the park!

He said everything is normal. There is nothing anomalous happening. US Military bases have been getting overrun by drone incursions since 2022. Langley AFB, which is a stone's throw from the White House and Pentagon, had an incident in December 2023 that forced a squadron of fighters to leave and go to another base because they couldn't conduct their flight exercises. This is absolutely not normal, it has just not been widely reported so people don't realize how bad the situation is.
quote:
“The only thing I can tell you about the Langley drones is roughly the number and roughly the altitude,” he said when we asked him about the exact characteristics and configurations of those drones. He did not elaborate. However, earlier this month, Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly told The Wall Street Journal that at least one of the drones was “roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers.”
Replying to our question, Guillot told us he did not know if they were tracked back to their recovery point or whether they could have been launched by a vessel off the coast.
The Langley incursions were among more than 600 reported over U.S. military installations since 2022, NORAD stated Tuesday. In the wake of the rash of drone activity over Langley AFB, NORTHCOM was tasked by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to look at drone incursions across the U.S., Guillot said.

I fell for the patriot act the first time. Not this time.

Reality is these are the future of warfare and terrorism with most of our defense systems virtually useless against them.

Perhaps the best take on the drones out there: Posted 2 days ago by Warfronts. Title: Drones Are Swarming Military Bases on US Soil. Here's What Happened.

Well, they’ve finally admitted what most of the country knew already. Now tell us why. If you didn’t want to face that question, perhaps you shouldn’t have scared tf out of people by flying them over fricking NYC and NJ.

Jim Himes needs to have his security clearance revoked, if I understand the purpose of a SCIF and a classified briefing.

It's a hokey pokey power grab of course

Man twitter is hilarious.
Himes just said they are NOT federal government operations. The video conveniently starts after the first part of his statement.
Now I have no idea what the protocol is for discussing what was asked in a scif briefing but it’s not classified info to say “these aren’t ours”. The government has already said so numerous times. Now believing them is a different story but the “official” position is that the drones aren’t feds/mil.

Sorry but don’t go into a classified briefing and then come out to hold a press conference about said briefing.

Why?
Okay, quick lesson on how classifications work and why.
This is going to be dumb, but whatever, bear with me.
If I used a SAP and collected that LSU won the national championship in 2019, the fact that LSU won is not classified. I can walk out of the SCIF and say that. It’s open source. It’s obvious to everyone that it happened.
If I said I got that information from SAP XYZ123 and I was able to get that information on that SAP because that SAP uses LMNOP tech to gather such information, that’s classified.
Some things are classified because the information may not be something usually classified, but by releasing that information, it would compromise a source. It would draw a direct line between me and the source, even if the info was mundane, but not widely known.
Let’s say I found out President Jack arse from Jack assastan was to wed his daughter to Prince frick head from frickheadastan and I am the first person to know this. I found this info out through the the president’s mistress.
There is nothing particularly classified about some marriage. It’s something that will definitely hit the state cables sooner or later and be widely known. The fact that I have a source that close would be compromised if she is the only person he’s told. Hence, it’s classified and remains classified, even when the wedding announcement is made.
And then there is other shite that is classified because of the actual info. For instance, if I was hanging out with the MOD of some middle eastern country, and he told me about troop movement He knew I was a US official. He was fully witting. That information itself could be classified due to content.
Just because it was said inside of a scif, it doesn’t make it classified. If that is the case, a whole lot of dick jokes have been removed from the lexicon.
I hope that helps.
