Chinese Balloon 2.0: Biden White House Dismisses Mystery Drone Sightings, Suggests Mistaken Identity

Lucas Nolan 13 Dec 2024

The Biden administration has dismissed the recent wave of drone sightings on the East Coast, suggesting that most reports are likely cases of mistaken identity involving legally operating aircraft.

The New York Post reports that the mysterious drone sightings that have been reported in New Jersey, New York, and surrounding areas over the past few weeks have left residents and local authorities puzzled and concerned. However, the White House has taken a different stance on the matter, with national security council spokesman John Kirby dismissing the reports during a briefing on Thursday.

Kirby stated that federal investigators have been unable to verify any of the more than 3,000 reports of car-sized drones patrolling the night skies. He suggested that most of the claims are likely the result of people mistaking legally operating helicopters or airplanes for drones.

This explanation comes despite numerous reports from citizens, law enforcement officials, and even the US Army’s Picatinny Arsenal, which has been at the center of the drone sightings in New Jersey. The sightings have been occurring night after night, with witnesses describing large drones flying at high altitudes and exhibiting advanced capabilities.

“We have not been able to, and neither have state and local law enforcement authorities, corroborate any of the reported visual sightings,” Kirby said during the briefing. He added that upon reviewing available imagery, it appears that many of the reports are actually of manned aircraft operating lawfully.

If they aren't ours, my second guess is China.

It's more their style and capability than Iran.

The problem is that so many people are buying the DJI drones. China has really been flooding the market. It might be innocent Americans, or just as easily something nefarious. The other issue is that we have no idea what kind of information is being uploaded to Chinese satellites.

I'm beginning to think they're right. The whole thing smacks of mass hysteria unless something concrete comes out of this.
