Some of these mysterious ‘drones’ are indeed UFOs and should be taken seriously
The Hill ^ | marik von rennenkampff

For 17 nights in late 2023, for example, between one and two dozen brightly-lit objects flew at any one time over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Beyond forcing the cancellation of nighttime training missions and the transfer of highly advanced fighter jets to another base, the incidents left the military so perplexed that it tasked a special NASA aircraft equipped with sophisticated cameras to investigate the objects.

...

Somehow, despite nightly incursions stretching over weeks, no verified imagery of the “drones” has emerged beyond a video showing numerous blinking lights in the sky. According to Glen VanHerck, the recently retired commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command, “our most advanced” aircraft attempted to identify the objects with “extremely limited results.”

...

Gen. Mark Kelly, a decorated Air Force pilot and the commander of Air Combat Command, observed the incursions personally, likening the brightly illuminated objects moving across the night sky to a science fiction film: “Close Encounters at Langley.”

...

Would an adversary expose its ultra-stealthy technology so dramatically and consistently in full view of the U.S. military? If so, to what end?

What kind of craft, despite displaying bright flashing lights and flying in formation, can operate with complete impunity — avoiding radar and visual detection while resisting counter-drone technology — above a key military base?

Alarmingly, identical incursions occurred for several nights in November over sensitive American military bases in the U.K. According to witnesses, dozens of brightly-lit objects “hovered” and exhibited extreme performance characteristics while evading detection and multiple advanced counter-drone systems. Notably, the incidents began over RAF Lakenheath, which was the site of one of the most puzzling historical UFO incidents. The base is also slated to host U.S. nuclear weapons once again, raising an array of urgent national security concerns.

Would a half lb drone shut down an airfield (Wright Pat and Langley AFB) and cause an air wing of F-22s to be moved to another AF base?

There is no reason to surmise that Presidents have any need to know.”

*************

That has likely been the case with many presidents. But with respect to the NJ drones Trump said “Our military knows. Our president knows”. He was then asked by a reporter if he had received any classified briefings about the drone situation. He replied: “I don’t want to comment on that.”

With the level of attention the drone sightings are getting the public wants to know what’s going on so Trump and his appointees may well get to the bottom of it. How much they tell us though is questionable.

So if this happens, might it be that “Aliens” land in UFOs and claim they have been all over the Universe and there is no God.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 - 2:12:
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Like what? Can you provide some reasons/scenarios to support your theory?

“We are all alone. Deal with it.”

Well, give us some evidence we are alone, or we will think you just pulled that out of your ass.

UFO's are associated with aliens, but it actually means what it stands for Unidentified Flying Objects. They are UFO's but not the alien inhabiting kind that has been the rage for decades. If a regular plane turns of its signaling transponder, it becomes a UFO, because it cannot be positively identified.

Thus, if you are inclined to believe that UFOs are only referring to alien transport vehicles, than it is BS, but if you understand that UFO does not necessarily imply aliens spacecraft, then it takes on a whole different narrative that has merit.

I didn't see the author mention aliens, but then again I could have missed it since I just skimmed the article, but the same cannot be said about the poster of this article has said numerous times that he/she believes in aliens (from outer space) are not only real but are also amongst us.

Like you, I reject that belief.

Demons, perhaps, but not aliens. 🤣👍

The best example of stupidity is know-it-alls on anonymous forums like FR who tell everyone exactly what's happening because they have an opinion.

A lot of people are following this story, including Trump, and all of them are saying that there isn't enough evidence available to draw any conclusions. Trump has said that the government knows but they haven't released the information. He has promised to do so 1 day after the inauguration.

I hope Trump doesn't tell us it's Bigfoot because a blowhard at FR said so.

Oh come on. You've already spammed one thread with that today.

Show some originality.

When people insert "aliens" into threads like this, particularly the kind of aliens that "transverse the universe," they are creating strawmen, and not very good ones at that.

but don't have reliable on board instrumentation to keep their craft from crashing. LOL

Either that, or our govt. has top secret EMP weaponry that is capable of taking down these unknown craft.....

I suspect that is the case.

In any event, these craft, either extraterrestrial or not, they're still real and our govt knows exactly what they are......

Can you provide some reasons/scenarios to support your theory?

Easy peasy:

Perhaps they are responsible for our continued existence, or maybe they created us through genetic engineering, or perhaps the planet belongs to them in some fashion and they think we are damaging it. It is possible to image them as prison wardens, making sure we don't escape. Maybe they are here to help with our development or to retard our development. We might be interesting to them because we are toxic and warlike and therefore an interesting study. Maybe they breed us for feed stock, or laughing stock. Could be they are just here to collect Galactic bets regarding how long we'll exist before we make ourselves go extinct. The possibilities are endless.

All it takes is a little imagination.

Distraction

Distraction from what? We're already overloaded with every imaginable political event that could ever be imagined.

So what is your distraction?

Nope... I’m using it on drone threads forever... Or... As long as drone threads continue. Whichever comes first.

We are not asking the right questions. What does the government know that is preventing them from shooting them down? That is a key to what and who they are.
