In the attached 60 Minutes documentary, they discuss the sighting of those drones, rule out the fact that all of them could have been friendly, local, commercial objects and offer theories about defending against them! What I am afraid of is this becoming a repeat of what happened after Pearl Harbor.
After Pearl Harbor, we started attacking the Japanese naval fleet with submarines but quickly found that our torpedoes were useless. They had defects that made them travel deeper in the water than they were set for missing their targets, and had magnetic targeting and triggering devices which simply did not work. In one case, they hit a Japanese destroyer with 12 torpedoes and none of them detonated. The problem is that the Navy was more concerned about politics and optics and in its arrogance, refused to admit this, refused to address it, in fact, they refused to even test the things! At one point, they even hired Einstein to look at why our torpedoes didn't work (they paid him $25 a day), then never took his advice on how to fix it. They simply took the arrogant position that the USA was just too big to fail.
It took years to finally admit and address the problem, and I'm afraid that is happening again with these drones.
In the first part of the video, interviewed military are literally stumped how to defend against these drones. Many of them flew right over Langley Air Force Base and they were powerless to stop them. They finally moved a bunch of F-22s to a safer location. The military keeps looking at a better radar system to detect these things.
To anyone with a smattering of electronic know-how, they realize this is bullshit. Drones have been around for years, and when they were developed, you simultaneously have to look at theoretical countermeasures. You ask yourself, how do you detect them, and how do you defend against them? A few points:
At any rate, the video covers most of this and you will find it interesting.

You ask yourself, how do you detect them, and how do you defend against them? A few points:
- Radar is not the solution for now, it is not sensitive enough to detect a small, consumer-size drone. Dang, if you can look out a window and just stand there and see them with your naked eye, what is the problem? How can you not station lookouts and build your own drones to go up, fly around and just LOOK for the things?
- Some of these things (they saw 40 on one night) are obviously hostile, so that only leaves two things: either we are not in control of our own national waters up to 200 miles off our shores or these things are being smuggled in and launched from our own land. The obvious suspect is China, and I feel certain they are scoping us out in preparation of war with us.
- As to defending against them with civilian space nearby, I have several ideas which this is not the place to discuss openly, but obviously, you can't launch missiles or electronic jamming at them, but if I can think up ways to detect and take them out (better still to capture some of them and discover their origin), I cannot believe the military is stumped. But the bottom line is that, along with the chinese spy balloon that Biden left float across the country, these are a clear threat, obviously hostile in nature, a gaping hole in our defense, and I'm embarrassed at our country that our top brass stand there and claim to be absolutely defenseless against and stumped by these UAP attacks.
At any rate, the video covers most of this and you will find it interesting.
