I don't mean this to be a rude reply, so please don't take it as such. I can do nothing about these drones, so I just pay no heed. Quite frankly, Ive more to worry me. The USA monitors everything and I think they will know, even if they are not telling us. The drones don't seem to be attacking anybody or anything. I really dont have the energy to worry about anything else.

My sentiments exactly….

I suspect that the authorities here and in the US know a lot more than they’re telling us.
Plus I seem to remember that the US authorities recently admitted that a lot of UFO sightings had been the testing of advanced technology .Maybe it’s down to them again this time.

Yes, I completely agree with you.

That’s my bet too, it’s the security services testing local response to drone technology, we had/ have the same drone sightings around Lakenheath.

Cariad, as you are so wise and have such a deep knowledge of arcane subjects . I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions that always puzzle me when contact with other extra non-terrestrials civilistions is discussed.

Why is it always assumed/known that other civilisations from outer space are so much more advanced in every way, scientifically, philosophically etc to Earth? Is it not possible that we are the most technologically and intellectually developed planet? I mean some planet has to be that and our chances are as good as any other.

The other question is, why is this invading civilisation always coming here with malice afore thought, determined to crush and exploit us? How do we know that? Isn't it possible that they are coming here in a spirit of love and friendship and on an equal basis, or even to learn from us?

My own take - on watching numerous videos of these - is that it does look as if there are at least two types of drones. That being "drone drones" (ie similar to hobbyists - but bigger and more advanced technology) and "Something Else".

The thing I don't understand is why not shoot down 1 or 2 of the "drone drones" - so that they can be picked up and analysed as to where from/why/etc. To me - that adds another point on the "I think it's the Deep State doing this" side of things. After all we know Biden is totally incapable of doing any of the duties of President - so someone/or group of people somewhere in America is actually "running the show" (as he is so incapable) and the only question is who. The more I look at it - the more I think America has got a version of "the Blob" (ie higher-level British civil servants we have here) and they could well see themselves as the permanent feature and the politicians as tools to be manipulated and lied to. I'd be willing to bet the "American Blob" know full well what's going on and are refusing to even tell the politicians.

The more unusual ones - well....I think pretty much all of us have realised by now that "ET does exist" and the only question is what they are like and what planets they come from. It may very well be that there are more of them than normal up in our skies currently - because of the particularly primitive state of play of our society on Earth. They may well fear the ramifications of what is happening on Earth might spread in their direction and/or it's part of some ET geography lesson tours. In some "classroom" somewhere in the Universe one can picture ET's sitting there and being told "Today's lesson is we are going to go on a sightseeing trip to one of the most primitive planets there is. So it's Earth - as they have low-level technology and a high proportion of their population are extremely primitive people/making hugely self-destructive and illogical decisions and so we're going to go and study at first hand how a race of beings can be so primitive. Take-off time to go exploring them is at 9 a.m. in their time". We're probably being used as an object lesson in "How not to do things". After all - many of us watch various films of World War 2 and the like - for "entertainment" purposes basically. So why wouldnt aliens do the same - only in their case it's our primitive society they're watching?

Here is a link to a very mundane, but detailed explanation of what is known to be happening and what the interpretation is
www.csis.org/analysis/why-are-there-so-many-unexplained-drones-flying-over-united-states.

There are 800,000 registered drones in the US and 45,000 registered drone flights a day. The US has multiple technologies to down these drones, but these are currently aimed at use in offensive actions like Ukraine. But can be re centred and redeplyed in the US.

Until someone produces verified evidence that these drones are operated by either Iran, Russia, North Korea or other hostile country from a mother ship in international waterss, operated by Putin, or internal dissenters, or little green men from outer space. i will accept this rather mundane document and concentrate on getting the decorations on my Christmas tree.

Why haven’t they shot them down?

RosiesMaw2 Fri 20-Dec-24 07:10:10

Are they shaped like reindeer?
Is Santa early?

What do you think of all of the drone sightings on the eastern United States, across military bases and also over the US military bases in Europe. The whitehouse.gov has held a meeting with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI but they have no clue about who is flying these things although it shut down the airline runways in Ohio at the very largest airforce base in the United States. The drones are now hovering in Western US and they appear to be a minimum of 6 feet across and unmanned. Capable of speeds up to 60 miles per hour and they turn off all of their lights when approached by authorities. They are not visible on radar and are flying at a low altitude of about 300 feet.
