Strange lights have been flying over the skies of the United States in recent weeks. And the sightings, which are increasing, are no longer just in New Jersey. "They're UFOs ," many say. But they are drones. Mysterious drones that have left the population in a state of concern, while federal authorities are calling for calm: "They are not a threat," they repeat without providing further details. In Congress, the deputies are asking for clarity and Donald Trump is backing them: " I don't think this can happen without the government knowing about it . Clarify with the public now. Otherwise, shoot them down."

But this hypothesis of the president-elect is strongly rejected by the authorities for reasons of public safety . "What would happen if they fell on a house?", said the national security adviser John Kirby pressed by Fox. "We have not seen any threat or nefarious activity," observed instead the secretary of national security Alejandro Mayorkas. Reassurances that however do not calm the anger that is starting to boil in Congress , where representatives and senators of the states involved - from New Jersey to Pennsylvania and New York - are calling for federal intervention. "The situation has gone too far. The runways at Stewart Airfield were closed for an hour because of drone activity," thundered the governor of New York Kathy Hochul, asking Washington to grant more power to the states to monitor and intervene if necessary.

"Until that happens, the Biden administration needs to send more personnel to New York and surrounding states for the safety of our infrastructure and the population," he added. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was also harsh, deploying helicopters to try to understand the origin of the drones, while New Jersey authorities did not spare criticism of the White House for the unsatisfactory response to the emergency. For the citizens of the three states, the drones have now become a real emergency, and frustration is increasing as the days go by in the absence of certainties. And many are looking for answers in "conspiracy" theories: some believe that the drones are part of Project Blue Beam, a secret exercise of the Space Force. Others are convinced that the drones are Iranian or Chinese, recalling Beijing's spy balloons of recent years. For many, it would be UFOs and alien activity.
