Some 53 percent of respondents \u201cconsider those drones a threat\u201d to the US, while 78 percent believe the government is \u201ckeeping information it knows from the public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CBS News\/YouGov survey was conducted between December 18-20 and questioned 2,244 US adults, with a margin of error of 2.4 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wave of drone sightings began in mid-November when numerous reports started circulating about large, unidentified \u201cdrones\u201d appearing at night over New Jersey. These sightings gained media attention, quickly spreading to other states, including New York and Pennsylvania, and eventually extending to multiple regions across the country\u2014from the southern states and the Midwest to the western mountain states and the Pacific coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump calls for \u2018mysterious\u2019 drones to be shot down<br>The growing number of sightings prompted action from local, state, and federal authorities to quell public concern and confusion. However, multiple agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FAA, and Department of Defense (DoD), have failed to find anything that poses a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe FBI has received tips on more than 5,000 reported drone sightings in the last few weeks, generating approximately 100 leads, and the federal government is supporting state and local officials in investigating these reports,\u201d the FBI, DHS, FAA, and DoD said in a joint statement last week. \u201cAfter closely examining the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess that the activity to date presents a national security or public safety risk over civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State and local law enforcement, along with numerous independent experts, have reported similarly underwhelming findings, even though many cases remain unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mystery drones spotted over US bases in UK<br>While the US military acknowledged repeated drone incursions over military sites in the past year, Pentagon representatives insisted that such flyovers are not unusual and are generally not nefarious. Despite these assurances, public skepticism remains high, and many continue to demand more transparency and answers from government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US President-elect Donald Trump went so far as to say that any \u201cmysterious\u201d object in the sky that the government can\u2019t identify or explain must be shot down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMystery drone sightings all over the country. Can this really be happening without our government\u2019s knowledge? I do not think so!\u201d he wrote in a post on Truth Social last week. \u201cLet the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly eight in ten Americans suspect the US government of withholding information about the mysterious drone sightings across the country Read Full Article at RT.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[402],"class_list":["post-1745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","tag-americans"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
