The mysterious drone situation that started in New Jersey and now plaguing more areas in the Northeast and in various parts of the country is angering millions of Americans, including President-elect Donald Trump.
According to Breitbart, the incoming president finally broke his silence on the matter after weeks of activity that has led to multiple conspiracy theories and ideas as to what the drones are and where they're from.
Trump slammed President Joe Biden and the U.S. government for not being more forthright with information about the drones.
He suggested that either the government release more information about their origins and intentions, or have them shot down immediately.
The public outrage over the lack of guidance and information about the thousands of drone sightings is growing by the hour as news spreads around the world.
Trump took to his Truth Social account to address the situation, slamming Biden's government for its very obvious lack of transparency on the matter.
"Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country,” Trump wrote in his post. “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT."

Breitbart noted:
Trump’s post comes as people have reportedly seen unidentified drones in the sky in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, and Maryland, among other states.
Lawmakers such as New Jersey state Sen. Jon Bramnick (R), Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ), and former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) have called for the government to take action on the alleged drone sightings.
In an official FBI and DHS statement, the agencies claimed there is "no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus."

Social media users doubted the agencies are being truthful in their statement regarding the drones.
"So you have no clue what they drones are or where they came from, but you can definitively tell us what they AREN'T? Nobody is buying the BS anymore," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Since when is the US government unable to determine what is flying in its air space. The fact that you cannot tell us what it is makes it a national safety and security issue."
