    Kind of reminds me of a customer that gives me requirements to build them a system that troops can carry on a backback. I asked how strong these troop are.

    Radiation spike in New York after flood of drone sightings as Americans warned 'plan for the worst'


    The Geiger Counter World Map, a tool that monitors global radiation levels, flagged two areas in the New York metro region as red this week. These areas are reportedly exceeding the safety threshold of 200 counts-per-minute. Similar red flags have been raised further north, near Connecticut.

    This comes on the heels of claims that the drones are searching for a nuclear warhead that was lost during the Cold War era.

    New tech for national defense. Mobile radar station that serves as mothership for seek and destroy kamikaze drones to take out anything incoming. But why test in visible areas unless testing in high air traffic area required. Most plausible thing I have read for the 10% that aren't legit airplanes

    Browsing the Reddit fringe threads (aliens, etc) has been entertaining…

    It should be amazing that no one in the Biden administration could figure this out ….. but it is not.

    The government is flying drones in your neighborhood for "research and various other reasons".

    Since it's your preferred administration - this is an adequate answer for you. "It's just our benevolent government looking in our living room, not the Chinese. Whew."

    If this message were delivered by someone else's preferred administration, it would not be an adequate answer for you.

    It is an initial explanation and additional info will likely be released as it’s made available. Good grief!!! It is a helluva lot more information than the inept Biden administration was able to scrape together and release to the public.

    But …. carry on … I expect TDS v2 is really hard on you folk.

    Case in point, the Biden admin actually said pretty much the same thing back then.

    From 12/17

    Biden says there's 'nothing nefarious' about recent drone sightings

    “More than a million drones are lawfully registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, according to a joint statement Monday from the Department of Homeland Security, the FAA, the Defense Department and the FBI, who all said the sightings are not out of the ordinary and do not pose “a national security or public safety risk.”

    Not sure what he thinks is different about this new statement. Did the new admin vet every unidentified “hobbyist” in a week? No? Otherwise it’s the same answer.

    I was going to say the same thing… Trumps message is same as Biden’s message from a month ago. Where did all the people talking about “radiation spikes”, “Iranian motherships” and “preparing for the worst” go?

    Classic right wing media brain.

    Back down on planet earth I had no idea anyone was still awaiting an answer on this “mystery”. Hell after a week or so of joking around with it - “look up in the sky, ‘at’s a drone bro” - that joke was over weeks ago.

    There’s actually a semi-serious issue at hand, these hobbyists are out of control and pose real risks in some places. So MAGA would want… more Government regulations on drones? More eyes in the sky? Seems the “definitely not a sheep” do their own research crew is satisfied with their newfound knowledge that it wasn’t aliens or Iran mothership. :emoji_joy:
