It's time to talk about the drones (15 Viewers)

New joint-statement from FAA, FBI, and DOD:

so military ops

Lol.. I like how the Feds say basically "nothing to see here" and the local officials on the ground are completely disagreeing with this. Even if you dismiss the public's eyewitness/videos completely, it does not explain at all what the local law enforcement has seen.

Also, if its not a threat to public safety, why are they having classified briefings on this?

Been discussed a few pages ago

There are a few reasons it could be classified. Could be that they have intelligence on what it is and it is indeed a national security issue that they’re in the midst of response and it has to be classified. But it could also simply be that the technology they’re using to obtain the information for the briefing is classified - or the meeting otherwise discussed classified details (such as locations of military equipment).

Heard a rumor that they're looking for a nuclear device.
Completely unfounded but it would explain why they're spreading out and it explains the secrecy.

This mayor describes it as missing radioactive material via briefings he’s attended.

That plus this appears to be another manifestation of the paradox of the information age - where our ability to produce and instantly disseminate so much information it actually reduces collective knowledge and proliferates superstition.

Exactly.

There is a serious problem with Social media.

Every bit as believable as the official statements IMO... And yeah there is...

Just really don't believe that. Multiple weekends of NFL football wouldn't have been allowed to transpire if there was missing radioactive material out there that was either lost or stolen. I don't even think Trump would have even been allowed to attend the Army vs Navy game over the weekend nor would that game had ever been played if you had some rogue element out there running around with that kinda material that could potentially be used in a terrorist attack.

Reportedly there’s a missing medical device with a small amount of radioactive material that isn’t believed to pose a significant threat.

The problem is there is a great deal of uncertainty about how or if various reports fit together.

That’s one of the problems - there’s more

And just whom is this entity whom is "missing" its radioactive medical device?

Startling image of mystery drone over US air base abroad revealed

A new bombshell report revealed by DailyMail.com showed the FBI and other intelligence agencies knew about the unauthorized drones over a year before they began to terrorize New Jersey residents.

www.dailymail.co.uk

"When one of the objects was detected near the Lakenheath base around November 20, police sent a chopper to investigate.

'The drones were flying in set formation and then immediately locked on to the helicopter,' the source said.

'Long range UAVs [drones] that the US military use, there's a couple of seconds lag in the system. A report from the pilot said it must have been controlled by a controller within the UK, as there was no lag in the response.

'When the police helicopter climbed, the drones climbed with it. When the police helicopter tried to leave the area, the drones followed it.

'They were traveling really fast, faster than anything they'd seen before. From police helicopter footage, one of the drones was tracked traveling at 170mph.'

The officer said one helicopter even caught the advanced drone on an infrared camera in a video which is now classified.

'There is a 30-minute video of the incident,' they said. 'The camera on the helicopter was in IR mode, infrared. There is approximately one minute of footage when you can see a craft which looks like a fixed wing craft, and the maneuver that it does on the screen is like a very fast banking maneuver.

'It's very, very advanced technology. It can move very fast, and it can't be detected on any of the systems that we've currently got."
