Reported drones include aircraft and stars, according to U.S. officials. The statement was made by U.S. officials regarding the nature of reported drones across the country.
The specific types of drones mentioned were aircraft and stars, with the information shared in a recent report. Many of the drones included, “lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones,” as stated in the report.
Recent statements, including by President-elect Donald Trump, seem to indicate that the surge in drone activity may not be from an adversary, saying that the government wants to “keep people in suspense,” about the true nature of the drone activity.
