White House National Security Advisor John Kirby claimed Thursday that the government has “not been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings” of mystery drones over the east coast.
As we highlighted yesterday, video footage of the drones, predominantly over several New Jersey counties, have gone viral online.
Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew has claimed that intelligence insiders have told him that Iran is behind the drones and has a “mothership” lurking off the east coast launching the drones.
The Pentagon has rubbished the claim, but has not provided any further explanation of who is operating the car sized aerial vehicles.
Kirby claimed there is no evidence to suggest the drones are a national security threat, but also seemed to dismiss that they are even real.

White House National Security Advisor John Kirby says the US does not have any of its own imagery of the drones over NJ and NY.

How stupid do these people think Americans are?
Crazy that he could keep a straight face while saying they are unable to corroborate reported visual sightings while they are all over social media sites.

Translation: “these are not the drones you’re seeing with your own eyeballs”

Then answer why they are flying in our skies? Are you lying? What are you hiding?

This confirms that at least part of the government is behind all of this. The big question is, why are these drones up there every night, in this area, and in these numbers. The reason must be important enough to try not to inform the public about it. Whatever that might be.

The person just told you that even if you saw something, you didn’t see anything, and if you did, it’s nothing, it doesn’t belong to anyone, and it’s not anyone’s.

Here’s a guy in Kirby who has willingly destroyed all credibility of his distinguished military career by shilling for a corrupt government.
They don’t know what they are, but not to worry, “give us more money and maybe we will find out”.
It’s just Xi getting all the data he can before his paid stooge leaves office.
BINGO.
Now it may also be us, using gamma ray detectors to find a dirty bomb or a nuke.
Its a distraction so people dont notice that right now, israel and turkey have joined forces over syria to carve it up amongst themselves. Yes you read that right, turkey which is muslim and isreal who is genociding mulims have teamed up to carve syria up with the blessing of the united states of israel. The alqaeda rubbish is a front as they are israel and usa puppets. Isreal is moving ahead with its greater israel plan which includes half of syria and turkey plans on expanding too, they also want to take greece, bulgaria and other areas around there. Those ‘drones’ do not have propellers and are definitely usa. They are covered in the same material as the black bird aircraft to avoid radar. Their propulsion is similar to the harrier jump jet.
You lost me “Israel, who is genociding muslims”
Remember Oct.7th?
The Muslims get exactly what they deserve.
The second you pick a side, you have already lost! Yes I rmember oct 7th, the day the idf left the sensored boarder wall unattended intentionally. The same idf who murdered most of their own people that day. Its called the Hannibal directive. Also interesting that bibi has been funding hamas for years too. Did you know that when the head of isis was caught, it turned out he was a mossad agent? Interesting that. The narrative is falling apart bud and the people are waking up. You forgot to mention about all the christians that were murdered too, yunno the goy, considering gaza was one third christian.
