Trump Vows Transparency on Mystery Drone Sightings After Taking Office

The president-elect pledges to release a detailed report on unexplained drone activity across the U.S. shortly after his inauguration.

Donald Trump has promised to disclose information about mysterious drone sightings in the northeastern U.S. within days of his January 20 inauguration.
Republican governors, including Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Jeff Landry of Louisiana, voiced concerns about drones over sensitive sites such as military bases and nuclear reactors.
Federal agencies, including the FAA and Pentagon, have downplayed the sightings, attributing them to lawful drones, hobbyists, or misidentified objects like stars, while denying national security risks.
The surge in drone sightings in late 2024 sparked public speculation, ranging from foreign espionage to extraterrestrial activity, as the Biden administration faced criticism for a lack of transparency.
Trump suggested the origins of the drones could involve domestic research or foreign entities and pledged to clarify the situation soon after taking office.
