In the latest episode of America’s ongoing fascination with unidentified flying objects, President-elect Donald Trump has raised some eyebrows regarding the swarm of mysterious drones fluttering about New Jersey and other East Coast states. Rumors are flying around faster than the drones themselves, but Trump is here to add a dash of sanity to the chaos, suggesting that the government knows more than it is letting on.
During a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump pointed out the obvious—if these drones were sent by foreign adversaries, the U.S. military would have acted swiftly. In his classic straightforward manner, he emphasized that it seems nobody actually believes these tinker toys are feeding instructions from some distant war room. After all, if they were hostile, Trump mused, you’d think the authorities would already be scrambling jets or at least providing a clear explanation to the American people.

The former president hammered home the point that these mystery drones are likely not originating from some nefarious foreign country. Instead, they could very well be coming from a local garage—perhaps your neighbor’s, or even a teenager’s basement during a particularly creative weekend. Just imagine getting a visit from the military for a drone doing backflips after a Friday night of engineering fun. Undoubtedly, the military knows where each drone took off from and could easily “pay a visit” if necessary, so it’s curious why the government isn’t spilling the beans.
Adding some confusion to the mix, federal authorities assured citizens that there is nothing to fear. Despite this assurance, a significant oversight remains: they still don’t know where these airborne mystery machines are coming from. So much for confidence! One would think that if there’s no security threat, officials would be rolling out parades of drones up in the sky to show they can handle anything. Instead, they seem to be preparing for a game of “hide and seek” with the truth.
Public speculation only grows when government officials keep saying, “We don’t know” while simultaneously urging citizens not to worry. It leaves some to wonder if there’s a little cultural conspiracy in play. One can only hope that amid the drone drama, someone in Washington will step up and either really investigate this fascinating phenomenon or, at the very least, give the American people a few laughs by revealing which neighbor is responsible for the aerial acrobatics. Until then, everyone will be left looking to the skies, waiting for the next bizarre turn in this little slice of East Coast intrigue.
