Adversary Drones Are Spying On The U.S. And The Pentagon Acts Like They're UFOs

Article is from nearly two years ago… intelligence analysts have been warning that low level tech, often deliberately designed to prey on our cultural scorn about UFOs, has been infiltrating our airspace for many years.

We may not know the identities of all the mysterious craft that American military personnel and others have been seeing in the skies as of late, but I have seen more than enough to tell you that it is clear that a very terrestrial adversary is toying with us in our own backyard using relatively simple technologies—drones and balloons—and making off with what could be the biggest intelligence haul of a generation. While that may disappoint some who hope the origins of all these events are far more exotic in nature, the strategic implications of these bold operations, which have been happening for years, undeterred, are absolutely massive.
Our team here at The War Zone has spent the last two years indirectly laying out a case for the hypothesis that many of the events involving supposed UFOs, or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), as they are now often called, over the last decade are actually the manifestation of foreign adversaries harnessing advances in lower-end unmanned aerial vehicle technology, and even simpler platforms, to gather intelligence of extreme fidelity on some of America's most sensitive warfighting capabilities. Now, considering all the news on this topic in recent weeks, including our own major story on a series of bizarre incidents involving U.S. Navy destroyers and 'UAP' off the Southern California coast in 2019, it's time to not only sum up our case, but to discuss the broader implications of these revelations, what needs to be done about them, and the Pentagon's fledgling 'UAP Task Force' as a whole.

as if it's a UFO. News reports said the Pentagon did not say what the object was or where it came from. Obviously they know the answer to both of those questions.The Pentagon is engaged in national defense operations so they don't have to say.

I'm so glad the grownups are in charge.

This article was written in April 2021, trying to warn the public about the phenomenon

Wildly interesting perspective on disturbing current events.

I certainly worry that the US Military establishment is stuck in a last-war-we-fought mentality and unwilling to listen to those who warn of threats outside or beyond conventional thinking. They’ve got so much money that the temptation is to suppose that new threats will also emerge from wildly expensive technologies. You can see this throughout the history of military thinking.

I heard an analogy today that we’re finally “seeing” this shit because NORAD *finally* adjusted their filters - it’s as though they’ve been searching for shells on the beach and are finally noticing sea glass.

But they’ve been warned for years by analysts like this about the intrusions and refused to adjust.
