    The list is also missing the Red Cell theory, which could be a sort of penetration test contracted by the US government. I think that’s distinctly different than a psy-op or government conspiracy. Penetration testing of military bases and other core infrastructure makes complete sense combined with the hysteria theory, where now people are reporting normal flight traffic out of paranoia.

      there’s also the fact that dji released its first large form factor commercial lifting drones just a couple of years back. those things are big and bright and fast and typically used in areas where you wouldn’t expect to see drones otherwise. they’ve quickly been getting more and more popular for so many uses. from painting roofs and tall buildings to clearing snow from power lines. they’re starting to show up everywhere.

      i bet these alien conspiracy theorists would shit themselves if they saw one of those hauling a crate in the distance. or God forbid, spraying “mysterious” chemicals on our food supply (fertilizer).
