I think they're part of some sort of intelligence or defense exercise. If the government didn't know what they were or who was piloting them, they'd have their own choppers in the air, and they'd use those drone deactivation guns to down some of them, and would be actively trying to discover their origin. But they're just acting like it's no big deal. No sense of urgency.

But these sightings have been going on for weeks now and the DoD has stated they don’t know what they are. If those belong to the DoD or another branch of an intelligence agency, they would be part of a covert program aiming to achieve a particular goal such as creating the conditions to declare a state of emergency. It would seem reckless to create so much chaos for a military exercise but maybe you meant something else by “exercise”.
They're gonna torture the population with it till the get their patriot act v2 rolled out I think. Hope we aren't dumb enough to take the bait. Either that or NHI. 😅
I mean it could be a training exercise, or some demonstration of capabilities. Or they could be testing the waters to see how the public responds to a mass UFO event. I don't think it's anything nefarious because if it is, I believe someone would leak to the public. It just doesn't feel like something nefarious. That's my two cents.
