It certainly isn’t a bird or a plane, but what Americans are seeing in the night sky has left citizens worried about U.S. national security.
Video script:
A flashing light amid the dark night sky captured the interest of northeast Americans this week as the aircraft was seen across New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. The recent appearances have left some citizens worrying whether or not the devices are threats to U.S. national security.
President-elect Donald Trump commented on the sighting, pressuring the Biden administration to offer an explanation.
Republican congressmen have expressed concern that the drones may come from Russia or China, presenting a potential threat to national security, while multiple U.S. government agencies have pointed out the lack of evidence to support claims that such devices constitute threats.
U.S. President Joe Biden reassures the public that the government is in control of the situation.
