Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is questioning the term “drones” being used to describe the recent reports of mysterious sightings in the sky.
The sightings were reported in Northeastern states like New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut but also in other states like Florida and Ohio. Conspiracy theories have spread as the Biden administration continues to downplay any threat while still not giving any concrete answers about what the objects are.
Greene is one of many lawmakers who join Americans in challenging the official government narrative about the so-called drone sightings.
Why are they calling them drones?
For a long time it was UFO, then it became UAP.
Ever since these things started being seen in NJ, the term used has been “drone.”
Who made that the official term and why?
That seems to convey knowing what they are versus using an acronym…

“Why are they calling them drones? For a long time it was UFO [unidentified flying object], then it became UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon],” the Georgie Republican wrote in a post on X over the weekend.
“Ever since these things started being seen in NJ, the term used has been ‘drone.’ Who made that the official term and why?” she asked.
“That seems to convey knowing what they are versus using an acronym starting with a ‘U’ that stands for unidentified,” Greene continued.
According to Newsweek:
The reports began mid-November and a recent statement from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said there have been over 5,000 sightings of drones across states on the East Coast in recent weeks.
In response to the rise in drone sightings, lawmakers have called on federal agencies to investigate the issue further. The sightings, which have sparked unease in affected communities, have not been linked to foreign interference or immediate public safety threats, according to national security officials.
Last week, President-elect Donald Trump suggested the drones be shot down.
“Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT,” he posted on Truth Social.
Greene has also commented on shooting down the objects from the sky.
“I’ll shoot the drones down myself along with every other red blooded freedom loving American,” she posted on X last week.
I’m going to tell you right now that if they try to tell us all to stay inside, stay home, shelter in place “FOR OUR SAFETY” from the drones, there is no way in hell I will comply with that absolute bullshit.
Not doing it.
No way.
I’ll shoot the drones down myself along with…

“The government is in control of the drones and refuses to tell the American people what is going on. It really is that bad,” she also wrote on X.
