The news is eating it up because idiots are consuming every bit of garbage information they will put out. TikTokers get thousands of views because people are fooled into thinking something is going on. If there are drones, it’s some ding dongs who are getting a kick out of the attention it’s getting.
Iran is not invading with drones. It’s not aliens from the ocean. It’s not a some secret government program. It’s proof that American education has failed and raised the majority population to be mouth breathing morons.
End rant.
To me it looks someone made fake video on social media, others joined and made other fakes, many states looking at the sky and also recorded planes thinking they are drones.
It looks like the whole event only exists on the social media.
There have obviously been legit sightings. They closed that airport in the Hudson Valley for an hour because of a drone sighting, and they also restricted airspace over Wright Patterson AFB at one point. I don’t think the FAA or Air Force does that on the basis of an unverified tweet with grainy video.

With that said, though, now that it has entered the national consciousness everyone is “seeing” them. I think most of the ones in your social media feed for the past two or three weeks are fake.
When I say fake I mean it could be CG or someone flying and filming their own drone.
