In the summer of 2020, a leaked Navy video showed a mysterious object darting through the skies off the coast of California. Military personnel described the object as performing maneuvers defying the known laws of physics.

Yet, when questioned, government officials were quick to dismiss the incident, attributing the anomaly to drones or weather phenomena. For many, the explanation was underwhelming, raising a bigger question: why does the government seem so intent on labeling UFOs as drones?

Now unidentified light orbs were spotted hovering over urban centers, oceans, other countries, moving in patterns inconsistent with known drone technology. Despite public outcry, officials quickly dismissed these sightings as drones, often without presenting evidence to support the claim.

These light orbs, seen darting at incredible speeds and vanishing abruptly, bear striking similarities to historical UAP sightings, yet the “drone” label persists, raising questions about the government’s intent to downplay or obscure the phenomena.

The term UFO, or Unidentified Flying Object, has long been a cultural lightning rod. But over the past decade, the U.S. government has systematically reframed the narrative, opting for the term UAP—Unidentified Aerial Phenomena—and often explaining sightings as mundane misidentifications or foreign drones. … The government’s drone explanation, however, raises more questions than it answers. In numerous cases, the objects in question display capabilities far exceeding current drone technology.
