🧵THREAD: Why are "FAA-Approved Drones" Disrupting Restricted Airspace? Why can't anyone tell us who is controlling them, and for what purpose? The White House, via Karoline Leavitt, wants us to believe the video below is the truth. It isn't. Keep reading and I'll show you why 👇

1st, it was actually the FAA that SHUT DOWN NJ airspace to drones. In Dec., FAA imposed drone flight restriction across of NJ due to persistent mystery drone reports over civilian & military areas. It lasted from Dec 18, 2024 to January 17, 2025. For "FAA-approved" drones??

Military bases have been on high alert: It's strange that "FAA-approved" drones would spook US military bases. It's even stranger that they'd cause problems at bases overseas, since the FAA has no jurisdiction there. But a number of sensitive sites are having drone issues👇

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base - OH (@WrightPattAFB) The airspace over the home of Air Force Materiel Command & Air Force Research Lab was closed on December 13, 2024, after multiple mystery drones were spotted. USAF hasn't confirmed their origin. (vid via @TheLastMohicans)

Picatinny Arsenal, NJ (@Picatinny_NJ) The US Army Armaments Center is headquartered at Picatinny Arsenal. It's the Army's main research division for armaments and munitions. There've been 11 unauthorized drone flights over the base. No known operators have been identified.

Naval Weapons Station Earle, NJ (@CNRMA) NWS Earle Reported multiple incursions in December 2024. Reports circulated that counter-drone systems were unsuccessful. This base is a key weapons storage site for the U.S. Navy. Were these also "FAA-approved" drones?

Stewart International Airport, NY The airport shut down for an hour on Dec 13, 2024 due to a drone swarm. The FAA - the very body that allegedly approved these drones - actually alerted the airport to the sighting. A report from @CBSNewYork:

Camp Pendleton, CA (@MCIWPendletonCA) Between December 9 and December 15, 2024, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in Southern California reported six instances of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) entering its airspace

Hill AFB - Utah Confirmed drone sightings over this military facility near Salt Lake City in December, 2024. Were these "FAA-approved"?

US Nuclear Sites Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Salem Nuclear Plant, and Hope Creek Generating Station -- all in New Jersey -- have all reported mystery drone sightings. Salem deployed counter-drone systems. They failed.

US Nuclear Sites, cont'd Palo Vere Nuclear Generating Station in AZ, Braidwood Nuclear Station in IL, and River Bend Nuclear Station in Louisiana have all reported mystery drones over their facilities in late 2024/early 2025. Gov. Landry of Louisiana is very concerned:

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin & Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon are also very upset about these drone incursions. Neither appear to suspect that they are "FAA-approved":

UK Air Bases This "drone" flap actually started at RAF Lakenheath last November. Mildenhall, Feltwell, and Fairford also all reported mystery drones in Nov-Dec 2024. These bases house USAF bombers and intelligence aircraft. Is the FAA in the UK?

Ramstein Air Base, Germany One of the U.S.'s most critical European bases reported drone activity in Dec 2024. More drones were seen near critical German industrial sites. The FAA sure is busy authorizing drones in international airspace!

Journalist @ChrisUKSharp, founder of Liberation Times, says that mystery drones have been harassing US military assets around the world, and have been for over 5 years:

The Drones Haven't Stopped: As of late January, 2025, a "significant number" of drones have been reported showing up over Mercer County, OH. More have been reported in Los Angeles, and they continue over New Jersey.

In fact, just this past week, F-16s were scrambled after a drone was seen near @POTUS's backup plane:

I explained in a short podcast yesterday why the official explanation from the Trump White House is complete nonsense, based on what we know. This thread is a follow-up to that - providing even more evidence. The podcast is here:

It bothers me that @realDonaldTrump promised answers just weeks ago -- even suggesting in this meeting with governors that the drones could be doing "research" (now echoed by @PressSec in the official statement -- and now Trump himself "doesn't want to talk about it":

We mustn't give up on looking for answers. They are not telling us the truth. Perhaps the reporting structure has been infiltrated. Maybe the presidential briefings have been compromised. Or maybe Trump now knows something he's worried about revealing. We can't be certain.

Oh, and one more thing: @jakebarber2025, who has participated in UAP recovery missions, says he has first-hand knowledge that the "FAA-approved" story is bogus:
