Biden insists drones pose ‘no sense of danger’ in first comments on mysterious sightings
New York Post - Dec 18th, 2024
President Biden addressed concerns over numerous drone sightings in the tri-state area, stating there is no sense of danger associated with the flights. Biden suggested a 'copycat' phenomenon might explain the surge in sightings and emphasized that most drones are authorized. Federal agencies, including the FBI and FAA, noted that the sightings consist of lawful commercial, hobbyist, and law enforcement drones, along with other aircraft and misidentified stars. Despite assurances, some lawmakers demand further investigation. President-elect Donald Trump accused the Biden administration of withholding the truth about the drones' origins.
