Over the past few months, there have been reports of mysterious drone-like objects in the skies over New York, the UK and other places around the world.
The FBI has released statement confirming the observations, but their response raised more questions than answers. “At this time, we do not have clear information about the origin or purpose of these objects, but we can confirm that they do not pose an immediate threat to public safety,” the agency said. But how can they keep society safe and sound when they admit they know so little?
Witnesses often describe these drones as peaceful, highly maneuverable, and sometimes emit an unusual lightweight. Over the oceans, their presence becomes even more mysterious and raises questions about their origin. Could there be truth to the developing theory that some form of advanced non-human intelligence could operate from underwater bases?

A global phenomenon
There have been reports from ranches in Colorado of drones hovering in eerie, grid-like patterns at night. In Sussex, UK, locals described glowing orbs that defied conventional aeronautical physics, maneuvering at incredible speeds and then disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile, off the coast of California, Navy personnel had a detailed encounter with what they called “ball cubes,” which bear an uncanny resemblance to cutting-edge drone designs developed by Chinese researchers.
The widespread nature of these incidents suggests one thing: this is not an isolated event.

Critics of the government's response draw comparisons to homeland security measures implemented after 9/11. Billions have been spent on defense, surveillance and counter-terrorism, and yet we have no idea who or what is in our skies.
How can authorities dismiss risk without understanding the actors involved? This is either extreme incompetence or intentional misrepresentation.
The ambiguity of the government's position can be compared to past incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), where the lack of information or its concealment led to distrust. Some believe this secrecy reflects an inability to address the unknown without destabilizing public trust.
The huge question that seems to be happening is whether these are drones at all, or something else entirely. The persistent concept of extraterrestrial involvement is supported by historical accounts of UAPs exhibiting behaviors far beyond human engineering. However, there are plenty of explanations on the ground.
One plausible theory is that these drones are the result of state-sponsored experiments. The global arms race for drone supremacy has seen the introduction of advanced designs such as the “cube-in-a-sphere” prototype revealed by Chinese researchers in 2022. Could this explain some of the observations?
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, former chief UFO investigator at the Pentagon, speculates that advanced drones could explain at least some of the sightings. He referred to recent developments by Singaporean and Chinese scientists in “next generation” drones, including the “SpICED (Cube)” prototype. Another question arises: can a foreign state or private entity be responsible for this aerial secret?
State-of-the-Art Surveillance Systems: What Do They Really See?
The U.S. military operates some of the most advanced radar systems in the world, and their capabilities raise critical questions about the ongoing secrecy of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and drones. Take, for example, Eglin Air Force Base C-6 in Florida.
This location is home to the AN/FPS-85 phased array radar, in operation since 1968, and the Space Fence system located in the Marshall Islands, home to the 20th Space Surveillance Squadron (20th SPSS). Together, these systems can track man-made objects with astonishing precision – from detecting golf-ball-sized debris at 7,000 kilometers to basketball-sized objects at 40,000 kilometers.
This begs the question: If these radars can track miniature objects in deep space, why can't they definitively identify the drones or UAPs often recorded in Earth's atmosphere?
The mission of the 20th SPSS is to track and characterize objects in space to provide actionable information. According to publicly available information, the squadron conducts operations 24/7 and integrates intelligence from multiple sources to assess both benign and potentially hostile targets. Their stated goal is to ensure the security of the space domain – so how were these mysterious drones able to get through their network?
Some argue that the military is deliberately withholding data, consistent with the concept of “controlling the narrative.” By sharing selective information, authorities could maintain credible deniability while keeping sensitive knowledge confidential.
More cynical observers suggest that this lack of transparency is a deliberate strategy to keep the public focused on speculation rather than demanding specific answers.
UFO tracking
By definition, the radar systems at Eglin and elsewhere are built to track unidentified flying objects. The military has openly acknowledged this possibility, even going so far as to declassify videos of UAPs displaying advanced, clever movements. So the question is not whether they can detect UAPs – but how much of this information is hidden.
Critics often refer to Plato's Allegory of the Cave, suggesting that only shadows of the truth are shown to society, while the real data – what the “light” reveals – is withheld. These critics argue that the government's approach combines truth with obfuscation, offering just enough to appear clear while concealing crucial details.
If UAPs or drones show signs of intelligence, such as coordinated movements or advanced manufacturing, the radar systems at Eglin will likely detect them first.
Because their coverage is worldwide, although not completely seamless, their surveillance capabilities challenge the notion that these objects remain unidentified due to technical limitations. Instead, many believe this “unidentified” status is due to a lack of political will or a deliberate choice to withhold the full story.
So why hasn't the military provided a definitive answer? Is it possible that the truth is so destructive – whether it concerns foreign adversaries or extraterrestrial technology – that it must be carefully managed? Or are the systems that track these objects constrained in ways we don't fully understand?
The role of non-human intelligence
An elephant – or perhaps a UFO – in the room indicates the possibility of extraterrestrial activity. They move fluidly between air and water, exhibit no distinct propulsion systems, and easily evade detection, challenging conventional understandings of flight and surveillance technologies.
More and more thoughts suggest that these phenomena may not come from space, but right here on Earth. If clever life were to hide, the immense and unexplored depths of our oceans would be the perfect refuge.
For years, reports of unidentified underwater objects (USOs) have been largely underestimated, but are now gaining attention in lightweight of recent events.
If these are alien ships, their lack of interaction with human infrastructure or defense systems suggests surveillance rather than aggression. Why would advanced life forms watch Earth so closely now? Do they monitor geopolitical tensions, climate change, or human technological progress?
On the other hand, if these objects belong to a terrestrial adversary, a technological leap by a foreign power, undetected by U.S. intelligence, would signal a seismic shift in global power dynamics. If a nation-state is behind these drones, their purpose remains ambiguous – surveillance, provocation or testing of defense weaknesses?

Official assurances, public skepticism
Although the FBI insists that these drones pose no threat, people point out the contradictions. How to assess the degree of threat of an unidentified object? It's like telling us that the monster under the bed doesn't bite but doesn't want to look under the bed at all.
The lack of concrete answers is fueling public distrust, with many people accusing the government of withholding information. A recent poll found that 60% of Americans believe their government knows more about these observations than it lets on.
Billions of dollars in defense budgets, and yet we cannot identify an object flying in our own airspace? How can the FBI and other agencies maintain credibility when they seemingly know so little or are unwilling to share?
🚨 BREAKING – A purported glowing ball/Drone/UAP flew over Miami South Beach on a Miami balcony a few hours ago.
It's challenging to pull something like that off. This is amazing.

A call for accountability
Pressure is growing on governments to take decisive action. There are calls for international cooperation to address what is increasingly seen as a global security problem.
If it is a foreign adversary, we need the collective intelligence and resources to respond. If it's something beyond Earth, it's a discovery that could redefine humanity's place in the universe.
The public deserves to know the truth, whether it be mundane or extraordinary.
