Watch the video, especially at the 23:00 Mark where this guy testifies that guys on a Coast Guard boat saw 20 or more drones come out of the water and follow them. He says they didn't have rules of engagement to combat them.

The only thing that seems to make sense is that they’re ours.

Most likely ours, and our government is lying to us, as usual.

Or they’re Chinese or Chinese-affiliated, and the Biden Administration is pretending not to know, so they don’t have to do anything about them. The checks to the Biden Family Crime Syndicate will be deposited in the appropriate offshore bank accounts, all the information they’re looking for will be accumulated, and they’ll disappear just as Trump takes office.

The Chinese will have all the information they need.

My money is on a drone club of a bunch of nerds getting together and flying their individual drones on the same “mission” trip. Different days different trips. Think motorcycle club but with drones instead of bikes. They probably have a modicum of “outlaw” excitement from their activities.

Mind-boggling that the DOD does not even have a canned response for this.

For what we spend on defense, if there are truly from one of our adversaries, we're in bad shape.

You don’t want to fire projectile weapons at these drones but a 5 KW laser would probably take one out.

“out of the water’ implies nation-state technology.

The SIGINT guys in the Army and Space Force could monitor/intercept/ origin-destination the drone RF traffic, but apparently they haven’t done so, or have said info and it’s withheld from the public. Bear in mind our guys read the traffic to and from the so-called Chinese balloons real-time and weren’t worried about the telemetry or what it contained.

The idea that this is all a mystery is preposterous.

I have seen reports today that these UAPs turned off their navigation and anti-collision lights when approached by other aerial vehicles. This is malevolent and/or evasive maneuvering behavior. Again, nation-state level tech.

As a drone pilot myself, I can tell you that drone batteries heat up a good bit during flight, and these UAPs would be spotlights on a thermal sensor/sight. They might be able to hide in visible light, but not thermal. Somebody wants them to be up there and stay there “unidentified”. Total BS.

Last point for now: the good guys have UAPs that are remarkably quiet during flight/hover. These are reported to be loud. Intentional IMHO. Somebody wants them to be noticed.

Can’t wait for first the ‘stories’ that come out of the current regime and secondly the FOIA docs that get published next year.

Get your hearing checked. It was 50 and they did not come OUT of the water.

If they were Chinese they wouldn’t bother using marking lights on them. Probably a bunch of nerds making them and flying them around.

I don't think that's what he said. Here's what he said (from the transcript):

A commanding officer from the from the Coast Guard [...] said that one of their 47 foot motor lifeboats was followed by between 12 and 30 of these drones as they went through the water.
If I read that correctly, he said that the boat was going throught the water (i.e., underway), not that the drones were coming out of the water.

That said, UFOs have regularly been spotted coming out of the water. IIRC, that's one of the "5 observables." If someone considered a solid source (like a policeman or Coast Guardsman) provides an account of these "drones" coming out of the ocean, this story will be entering a new chapter.

Out of the water or off of the water?

“they didn’t have rules of engagement to combat them.”

Lol.

Shoot them down.

Then consult the lawyers later.

We don’t currently have a president who cares about the safety and security of Americans. If we did, he would demand to know what the drones are and where they are from.

Is there technology to disable a drone? If not, why not? Take one down and examine it.

Is there sophisticated radio technology that would be able to intercept the signals that control the drones? Are there radio spectrum experts who would know what to make of the signals?

It seems the government can find out anything about anybody when it wants to, but when it doesn’t want to, it pretends to be ignorant.

Is this a “Look. Squirrel” moment? What’s going on in DC where the government is diverting our attention away.
