White House says most drone sightings reports are manned aircraft: 'Slight overreaction'
- The White House said in a press call that the public has had a "slight overreaction" to a myriad of supposed drone sightings across the East Coast. A senior administration official from the FBI remarked that many of the drone sightings are likely manned aircraft.
The White House has clarified that many of the reported drone sightings near sensitive areas, including the White House, are often misidentified manned aircraft, suggesting an overreaction to the perceived threat. According to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, while there have been numerous reports of drones, a significant number of these incidents involve small, manned aircraft mistaken for drones. This clarification comes amidst heightened security concerns and the implementation of new drone detection technologies. The administration is focusing on enhancing detection capabilities to better differentiate between drones and other aerial objects, aiming to reduce false alarms and improve response strategies.
