    Seems like this is just a mass delusion, really bodes well for things going forward

    Isn't the "dirty" part of a dirty bomb also nuclear material?

    The drones are self-replicating and will be used for the immigrant round-up.

    all the speculation and in some instances the panic could be settled with some transparency on joey's part

    Welcome to America, where if you categorically say there are no drones, people are like "there must be drones, the government is hiding something." If you say you are looking into it, then people speculate more, or think you are incompetent because you didnt know about. If you CYA and deploy anti-drone stuff just in case, then people do the same. There's literally nothing they could say or do to prevent bored or paranoid people from engaging in "recreational mental illness."

    The "news" that X says is "For You" includes a lot of hype and theories about things such as a possible Iranian attack. The meteorologists I was already following seem to think it's planes and people seeing other typical things in the sky, including planets, which most people probably don't look for very often. It wouldn't surprise me if there are many drones out there, too, though - especially now.

    I'm pretty sure you could trick people into seeing them just by putting out on social media you can see them over those states

    This Iran, the one that can't feed its people, defend itself from attack by Israel, can't support Hezbollah, can't support Assad, or simply even keep the lights on, is the one that sent a mothership in secrecy halfway across the world without anyone knowing to launch coordinated drone attack on the US? If that doesn't make one question their sources of information, I don't know what would.

    Iran is grinding to a halt due to weather and grid failure

    Iranian authorities closed schools and offices in Tehran for a second consecutive day on December 16 due to 'cold weather and energy consumption management,' highlighting the country's ongoing struggle with energy supplies despite holding the world's second-largest natural gas reserves.

    The closures, becoming increasingly common in recent years, reflect a broader crisis as Iran battles usable gas supplies, dangerous pollution levels, and electricity rationing even in central Tehran. Local power companies have been forced to implement periodic shutdowns across the capital and other regions, with outages lasting several hours.

    'Living in the Sohrevardi area of the city, you would expect we wouldn't be affected by these power cuts, but we are experiencing outages for five hours daily,' a Tehran resident told IntelliNews, speaking on condition of anonymity. 'How can I work from home if the power company cannot maintain a consistent electricity supply?'

    This is an interesting article. This guy says those drones are flying in a restricted zone and that drone technology does not allow the end user to fly their drones in restricted areas. He also shared that he could not pick up these drones on radar. It seems more apparent that these are our drones, and for whatever reason, the Biden administration is not ready to share what they are looking for.

    I live about 2 miles from NAS Jax and supposedly they've been spotted there. If I see anything exciting I'll take pics, or get vaporized. tBD
