A bunch of the “drones” are just distant aircraft that appear ro be moving slowly like a drone might because of the distance. Called out a couple that were super-obvious with features like landing lights, anticollision lights, beacon, etc. all in the correct places for an airplane and not a drone. Promptly got blocked by the person I replied to.
They want their conspiracies and mysteries for clicks, they’re also posting fakes deliberately.
Some politician posted a video of “drones” in the sky and it was literally the constellation of Orion.
The Copycat Theory certainly accounts for a portion of the sightings. Anybody that doesn’t think there are a lot of people with drones that would go flying them during this just to mess with their neighbors is a fool.
Mass hysteria also certainly accounts for more of the sightings. You only need 1 out of every 600 people to see an airplane/satellite/bright star and think they’re seeing a mysterious object to have over half a million Americans saying they’ve seen one. I’ve personally known several people in my life that would easily fall into this camp. Need I remind anyone about rainbow sprinkler lady?
As for what got this all started or any current sightings (if there are any, anymore) that don’t fall into the above categories? 🤷
Given that the former Governor of Maryland mistook the constellation Orion for a drone, I’m going with mass hysteria as my theory of choice.
Also, a Pennsylvania Senator thought a fake TIE Fighter strapped to a trailer was a drone that crashed. It’s silly season.
As someone from the area: It’s airplanes. If you map out all the sightings, the biggest concentrations are people who live by/underneath approaches to Philadelphia Airport and Newark Airport. And anything thats not a plane or a hobbyist drone is probably Boeing testing the military helicopters they build just across the river, or Dragonfly Pictures testing their military cargo drones next to that.
It’s me practicing drone swarm formation flying. My ultimate goal is to draw out a moving picture of an erect penis over manhattan. I’ve thought about this since I was 7. Started as a floppy penis but then as I grew older I realized there could be other more fun animations. Once I’ve synced all drones properly I’ll stop. Sorry people.
