President Trump released an up date on the drone sightings in the U.S. last November.
Not the enemy.

What about the drones sighted around the USAF bases in this country? Did they ever get to the bottom of that?

I could have sworn that barely a month ago he accused Biden of lying about the drones, despite the Biden admin mid-December stating they were FAA authorised. Completely out of character Trump lying to use something to his political advantage..............

"A joint statement released by the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, FAA and defence department on 16 December said the sightings are a "combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones.""

The release:
“The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had approved the drones for research and many also belonged to people in the area, President Donald Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at her first White House briefing on Tuesday.”

Important word not in the 16th of December statement FAA approved for (and most significantly) Research!

Research is a significant addition.

As the RAF Regiment Drone Unit were on exercise at the time at both Honington and STANTA, I suspect it will turn out like the Gatwick saga (Operation Trebor) - no official release giving details, despite various users submitting Freedom of Information requests, due to having evidence it was a Police drone.
