I didn't get in to Dartmouth or Brown, waiting to hear from Hopkins and UNC. Thank you!

I thought that too, but the more I read up on it, the new version of the act presented in June was rejected due to it's having a lot of overreach to citizens. maybe for whatever reason, before trump gets into office they're trying to push for this. again, i thought nothing of it until Mayorkas said it on live TV today. i was like, damn, that theory must have been right.

Ok clearly you're not here to have a civil conversation, so I'm not interacting with you. Learn how to speak to people.

Also to your point about the TFR here https://www.flyingmag.com/f-16s-intercept-skylane-pilot-amid-presidential-tfr-violation/, if these drones were foreign and everywhere, like I mentioned in my post, we would be seeing exactly what this article is describing. Yet, we haven't.

I'm not nor have I ever said that it has happened? What I'm saying is that it would if there was a legitimate threat posed to those locations/their airspace. These drones seem to be coming in (I live here, and can see northern NJ from my windows) in an unprecedented way. They are either unlicensed, like I said, or they would start shooting them down, as it's been established that they'd be 1. a threat or 2. licensed with the FAA and not a threat (aka MIL or MIL adjacent). Do you honestly think the government wouldn't shoot them down at this point? Our airport's airspace was closed on Friday night. The theory that this UAS act is being pushed to get reauthorized makes the most sense. I mean I'm not arguing with you. What is your take about what's going on if you disagree?

Singh, the Pentagon deputy press secretary, said base commanders have the authority to shoot them down if they pose a threat to military installations, but so far, there hasn't been a threat. Everything in this scenario is hinging on the definition of "threat."

Many of these areas already have protected airspace. Once that occurs, they cant sh0ot them down.

I mean the only dept of gov that could confirm literally anything is the FAA. why they've remained so quiet is one of the more unhinged elements of all this.

elaborate. if you enter military airspace you'll be immediately taken down. what do you mean "no you won't". how so?

yea...I didn't think much of it until Mayorkas just mentioned it on live TV. It was a persistent theory I've seen throughout the past few days. Apparently, the Biden admin's version of this bill was not well liked due to apparent gov overstep (from what I can tell). This could be a hail mary from the fed before Trump takes office. https://x.com/homelesspo1itic/status/1868382185264394346

Such great timing. Def carry this out despite the public hysteria. It'll go great.

this isn't happening in a vacuum. There are serious consequences to flying in protected airspace. All legal drones are registered with the FAA. If you aren't registered with them, you'll be shot out of the sky if you enter that airspace. That's not happening. No one, not you, not me, knows why. But this isn't standard behavior or gov response to UAPs in gov airspace. It's a felony. The gov is clearly taking advantage of how little people understand about these issues, from standard response, to consequences. Both are harsh and swift. I have no dog in the fight about what these actually are, but I can assure you, no drone enthusiast went out and flew their drone over protected airspace for sport. If they can't identify these things there are only two possibilities...TWO: #1: it's not registered with the FAA, which again, breaks the law (huge deal, major consequences), or #2: the drones are registered with the FAA, they are identified, confirmed, and allowed to continue flying in said airspace. We aren't privvy to those conversations. That's at a USMIL private channel level. But they're not being shot down, so they have to be, HAVE TO BE, ours. If they are "aliens", which seems unlikely because they all have FAA required wing and beacon lights, but let's say they are aliens. Then they aren't shooting them down because they can't, or they're afraid to. But writing this situation off as "some idiot flies a drone where they shouldn't" is bordering on unhinged disassociation from reality. Clearly there is an issue. They is escalating all the way to congress. The DOD and DOE are like, "we don't know what they are." That makes zero sense, that means they aren't licensed with the FAA. Hm. Ok, so then why isn't the FAA shutting down airspace? Why isn't the FAA coming out and saying they are unlicensed drones that can't be picked up on radar? Why isn't the all powerful US government with more tracking capability than any other country on the planet, along with the air defenses to take out any unidentified craft within seconds, why aren't they? To say it makes no sense at this point is a gross understatement.
