The news is eating it up because idiots are consuming every bit of garbage information they will put out. TikTokers get thousands of views because people are fooled into thinking something is going on. If there are drones, it’s some ding dongs who are getting a kick out of the attention it’s getting.

Iran is not invading with drones. It’s not aliens from the ocean. It’s not a some secret government program. It’s proof that American education has failed and raised the majority population to be mouth breathing morons.

End rant.

      To be fair, a top secret black project being forced to use navigation lights is exactly the sort of bureaucracy I would expect from the US government.

      Exactly! Everyone knows alien spacecraft use Vorblorbox X-45J premium hypno-lights, not Earthling navigation lights.

      (Jokes aside, agreed!)

        That goes without saying. The X-45J model has superior phase shifting capabilities for the low price of 45,000 Galactic Union Credits.

      Mimicry? People will assume it’s an aircraft if it has the green light (right), red light (left) and strobe.

      If I were an alien in a UFO this would be a sensible thing to do to blend in.

        That’s outlandish. To assume that a race of space aliens has the technology to travel thousands of light years, but needs to trick us with fake lights is asinine.
