... What do we know about the sightings?

The sightings were first reported by Germany's Der Spiegel magazine.

It cited a report from German security authorities saying that several drone sightings were registered over the Ramstein base late on December 3 and 4.

Der Spiegel said that unidentified drones were also sighted over facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall.

Unidentified drones were also seen over the Brunsbttel area of northern Schleswig-Holstein state in August.

Media reports said officials believed at the time that the drones were part of a Russian espionage campaign.

However, the ARD broadcaster reported on Friday that investigations into the sightings in Brunsbttel have as of yet unearthed no indications of espionage. ...

OK, maybe this is just me, but there seems to be something occurring.

Why all these drone sightings?

What that "something" might be is unknown to me.

Why all these drone sightings?

News feeds on itself. Spectacularly crash a particular aircraft and every flat tire that aircraft type has will be in the news for a month.

@#3 ... News feeds on itself. ...

I do not deny that.

But when the ~officials~ say things like ... ~we do not know what they are doing~ along with, ~but they are not posing a danger.~

That raises a level of concern for me.

If those officials apparently admit they do not understand them, then how can those very same officials state that the drones do not poses a threat.

OK, that aside, at this point for me, there seems to be too much evidence and not enough explanation.

While I do laud the public officials for saying, ~we have not a clue.~

I also castigate them for assuring that there is no threat.

If they admit they have no clue, how can they dismiss the drones?

... and now Germany?

For those unfamiliar with Connecticut, the southeast part of Connecticut (a.k.a. Groton/New London) is a military-sensitive area.

I suppose that in the near future, "stateless" drones will regularly target weapons and defense industry targets of various countries around the world.

Again, shoot 1 down.

Some are just planes. The actual drones are security exercises, same as in the US. Not routine [yet], but technology marches on and changes things fast. HS can't acknowledge [yet], so admin has to downplay it.

Nothing to see here. Keep calm and carry on.

CutiePie is a Zionist operative who supports the Israel-inspired, American police state currently unfolding. For the zionists, Likud is and has been the model for both Israel and America for over 30 years.

Weaponized drones and independent social media have quickly become the 2 greatest threats to the realization of their goals.

What the government is doing in NJ and elsewhere is manufacturing consent toget federal legislation like this passed.

If they are violating restricted airspace, shootdown should be authorized.

"If they are violating restricted airspace, shootdown should be authorized."

Shoot it down? With what? a Patriot missile?

LOL American's solution to everything is to shoot at it. You expect them to get beyond that with actual thought and consideration?

CutiePie is a Zionist operative .......

Quos Deus/Iuppiter vult perdere, dementat prius (Those whom God/Jupiter wishes to destroy, he first deprives of reason/mind)

A "true believer" descending into madness - at least Effeteposer gets paid for s**t-posting Putin's cynical dezinformatsiya garbage.
(
Russian 'dezinformatsiya': the anatomy of Russian disinformation campaigns ).

It's getting to be difficult to know whether the right wing or the left wing conspiracies are more ridiculous and unhinged. For that matter, sometimes it's hard to even distinguish between each, e.g., RFKjr a right/left wing nutter, or... just a nutter?

Clowns to the left, Jokers to the right
