The latest tinfoil hat theory going around Twitter is this one:

They’re all gov drones

There was a suitcase nuke or dirty bomb that got in via a port in NJ or NY

These drones are searching for a radiological signature

The gov denying everything as to not cause mass panic at Christmas

Jack Bauer, where are you?

I’m willing to believe that theory over much of everything else I have read. Someone I know on another board (“know” as well as I know many of you) and where military credentials are vetted, is now retired from the NNSA (The National Nuclear Security Administration and is part of the DOD) says he has reason to believe that due to a credible thread, nukes are exactly what these drones deployed worldwide are aggressively looking for, and that real life Jack Bauers and Mitch Rapps in our alphabet-soup agencies are ‘doing what they do’ to locate them as well.

Haven’t looked into Saxon but this seems to be a reasonable

The Government and news media are doing everything they can to create and maintain the hysteria. They could have easily released a believable cover story to keep the public calm if something credible was really going on. They are actively promoting this BS.

If so, some of this manned fleet should also be in the air.

What’s flying in the USA: Link. Manned aircraft using ADS-B.

If it's NEST aircraft, why would they only be flying at night?

The government and news media are doing that because people are sheep. Worry about what you can control. That means your family, job, home, etc. Wasting time on things that are way outside of your control is a fools errand and a complete waste of time. It’d be great if people could think for themselves but that’s a rare skill these days. We have the biggest and baddest military on the planet. If our military isn’t shooting these things down it’s pretty obvious. These aren’t the droids you are looking for, move along.

While we are distracted by drones, the Chinese Navy has sailed nearly 90 warships into waters around Taiwan. The Chinese say this deployment is in reaction to the current instability of Taiwan's government. It seems more likely to be a practice exercise for a naval blockade of the island.

This seems to be a plausible explanation with the little we know. There are a number of articles in found in a literature search regarding the use of UAV's for radiological detection and radiological mapping of areas.

Commercial and recreational drones generally do not have ADS-B Out. They have Remote ID, that can only be picked up and monitored via Bluetooth or WiFi.

That is, if they are flying legally.

When I get home before Christmas, I'm tempted to legally fly my drone at night and see how much shit gets stirred up in the area.

My drones have Remote ID, and it will be a good test to see if the government has the tools and ability to identify the drone and my launch point. My hesitation to do this would be due to resources being assigned to my test instead of dealing with real issues law enforcement has to deal with daily.

You should do it. But right before your flight buy some shares in Reynolds Wrap. Guaranteed to make some money off that deal.

Right, hence the sentence after the link stating manned aircraft using ADS-B. It showed a DHS helicopter flying in New Jersey. But what really amazed me is just how many planes are up there at one time. I couldn’t believe how many private jets.

I did figure out that my drone does receive ADS-B In directly, so it’s not as convoluted as I thought as to how I got the aircraft nearby warning. I’m learning slowly and appreciate your explanations, thank you.

We now have political leaders opening suggesting the president should write an EO to allow folks to start shooting "the things" down.

This would not end well. It's advice 100-times worse than Biden's suggestion to let loose a couple of shotgun blasts to warn off burglars.

Perhaps the president of the United States should issue an executive order to allow people to shoot the things down,” State Island Borough President Vito Fossella said.

Vito needs to shut the fuck up.

Ugh. Great, until someone shoots a Cessna.
Politicians are't the smartest.

Fossella called them “Ghost drones”. Who’s he gonna call?

This is starting to sound like "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street".
