At this point we've probably heard from all quarters on the question of the mysterious drones.
Regular citizens and lawmakers have been ticked off that they don't feel like they've gotten real answers. We've even had a New Jersey sheriff try to chase one down, the Coast Guard allegedly reporting on of their boats being followed by drones, reporters getting them on video.

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-TX) ) expressed concerns that those that were flying over military bases were adversarial and expressed his opinion that he thought they were from China.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) got down to brass tacks, saying whatever they are, they're a problem if they're interfering with planes and causing airports like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to be shut down for hours. He wants answers from the FBI Director.
The Biden Administration can’t tell the truth about anything. Including the drones. Now the FBI Director won’t even come to hearings to answer questions about it. What is going on? pic.twitter.com/ci85KsWcEj

Wright-Patterson in Ohio has a lot of critical stuff going on, and here's audio of the communication going on. "UAS" means "unidentified aerial systems."
Here is the audio from Wright Patterson AFB tower from Friday night/Saturday morning's drone incursion event. Big users on here are ripping it off our Youtube video embedded in our article so I thought I would post it. Our article can be read here: https://t.co/2ozDmv9d8u pic.twitter.com/ODjeEkp0Ug

The base did confirm "small aerial systems," and they also saw them on Monday and Tuesday. They said the drones did not "impact" the base. Drones also were reportedly seen over Hill Air Force Base in Utah and even at Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.
The FBI, Pentagon, FAA, and Department of Homeland Security issued a joint statement saying it was "lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.”
Now Joe Biden himself is finally weighing in.
“Nothing nefarious apparently, but they’re checking it all out,” Biden told the press when he was asked outside the White House.

"But they're checking it all out. I think it's just one — there's a lot of drones authorized [unintelligible]," he said, starting to say something and then changing it.
“I think one started it and they all — everybody wanted to get in the deal,” he continued.
Well, now that Joe has cleared it all up, that should settle it. Does he even have any idea what's going on?
Fortunately, we have President-elect Donald Trump coming in and that can't come soon enough.
