Who is sending the mysterious drones to American military bases? Conspiracy theories float on social media, Biden and FBI have no clue

Reports of nearly 1,000 mysterious flying objects, some as large as SUVs and glowing with lights, have been spotted across the U.S., including over homes, military bases, and sensitive sites. These sightings, which began in November, have triggered widespread curiosity, panic, and conspiracy theories, as officials struggle to explain the phenomenon.

Officials confirmed 964 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) sightings in a few weeks, with 200 reported on one night. The sightings have been concentrated in New Jersey counties like Hunterdon (243 sightings), Somerset (170), Bergen (75), and others. Sightings have also occurred in New York, Pennsylvania, and as far as California and Virginia, near a military air base.

Many of these objects, described as large, glowing, and hovering close to the ground, have raised concerns about security and public safety. Despite ongoing investigations, the Pentagon and FBI have said the drones do not pose an immediate threat, though they remain unexplained.

In New Jersey, Mayor Michael Melham revealed that fire departments have been advised to wear hazmat suits if a drone crashes and to alert bomb squads immediately, further heightening public concern.

President-elect Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration's handling of the situation, posting on Truth Social that the government might already know the source of the drones and calling for them to be shot down if necessary.

Adding to the intrigue, Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew claimed that the drones might be launched from an Iranian "mothership" allegedly spotted off the New Jersey coast.Van Drew called for decisive action, although the Pentagon refuted his claims, stating there is no evidence of such a vessel.
