Former guv areas secret drones in Maryland, blasts feds for absence of openness

Former Republican Gov Larry Hogan of Maryland has actually claimed that he directly observed “dozens of large drones” flying over his home in Davidsonville, Maryland, on Thursday night as the secret bordering the numerous inexplicable discoveries proceeds.

“Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital),” Hogan composed on XFriday “I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.”

The previous guv claimed he does not recognize if these drone discoveries are proof of a risk to public safety and security or nationwide protection, yet he called out the federal government for a “complete lack of transparency” despite Americans’ worries.

DRONE SECRET BEWILDERS NEW JACKET AUTHORITIES, IRRITATES HOMEOWNERS

“The government has the ability to track these from their point of origin but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren’t getting any,” Hogan composed.

“We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they came from, or who has launched or is controlling them–and that they pose no threat.

“That feedback is totally inappropriate. I accompany the expanding bipartisan carolers of leaders requiring that the federal government quickly resolve this problem. The American individuals should have solutions and activity currently.” 

Hogan posted a two-minute-long video of what he saw, although it is hard to make out what the objects were. 

A series of unidentified drone sightings near U.S. military installations and over residences have been spotted in New Jersey since mid-November, which is causing alarm.

Apparent drones have also been spotted in New York City as well as over three US airbases in the UK.

White House national security communications adviser John Kirby has said many of the purported drone sightings are actually lawfully operated manned aircraft and that there is no evidence of a national security or public safety threat.

Frustrated residents who believe the government’s answers are insufficient have threatened to take matters into their own hands and shoot them down. Both parties have criticized the government’s handling of the situation.

WE ARE VULNERABLE TO DRONE ATTACK AND IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said on Capitol Hill on Thursday that he is “frustrated” by the government’s lack of transparency.

The senator said that he has issued a letter asking for more information because Americans should be aware of what is happening in the skies.

“I’ve been a little frustrated,” he told reporters. “There hasn’t been enough transparency letting people know what’s happening. It’s allowing a lot of potentially misinformation to spread, or at least fear. We should know what’s going on over our skies.”

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy asked President Biden to direct more federal resources to get to the bottom of the numerous drone sightings across the Garden State in recent weeks.

Murphy noted the federal law limits the ability of state and local law enforcement to counter drones, but says the federal government has the authority to shoot down the mysterious drones.

In a separate letter to congressional leaders, Murphy asked lawmakers to pass legislation to empower local authorities to use advanced detection and mitigation technology to deal with drone activity.

“The emerging threat from UAS flights, coupled with the inability of state and local law enforcement to engage meaningfully with them, is a cause for concern,” Murphy wrote.
