Trump promises answers to mysterious drones visions while the expert gives creepy predictions
Influx In parts of the United States, they began to reach the covers in November, and although the authorities said that there was no evidence that drones represent a threat to national security or public security, experts explain the mystery behind the increase in visions.
Peter Doocy of Fox News questioned the president Donald Trump About unmanned spacecraft on Monday, asking, “Something with these spacecraft – should you worry?”
“I would like to find out what it is like to tell people. In fact, I would like to do it,” Trump replied. Then he diverted the head of the Susie Wiles staff. “Can we find out what it was, Susie? Why don’t we find out right now?”
“I can’t imagine being an enemy, otherwise it would be, you know, people would be in the air, everyone. They may have tested things. I don’t know why. You wouldn’t say what was,” Trump said. “A lot of them flew over Bedminster, which is interesting,” thinking of his club in New Jersey.
Seeing drones in November and December originally caused the public concern and even caught the attention of the FBI.
“FBI Newark, State Police NJ and the Homeland Security Office and Readiness are asking him to report all information related to the recent views of possible drones in several areas along the Raritan River,” FBI announcement of 3 December.
The Federal Air Force Administration even issued temporary flight restrictions after a large number of visions, banning flights of drones above parts New Jersey.
“Obviously, there was a dark turning point in which people became very concerned about being in the sky above their houses or above their heads,” Dr. Will Austin, a national drone expert and President Warren County Community College told Fox. News Digital.

However, the FBI official later said that out of approximately 5,000 reports they had received regarding the reports of the drones, “less than 100 traces were generated, which were considered to be valuable to further investigative activities.”
In mid-December, DHS officer said they were “convinced that many of the reports of drones were actually an aircraft with a crew that were wrongly identified as drones,” Reported ABC News.
The analysis conducted by the White House, in cooperation with the FBI and state and local officials, concluded that “legal, legal, commercial hobbyist’s activity, and even the activity of the law enforcement, was responsible for seeing the visions. national security John Kirby told Fox News previously.
“Many people have learned in some ways in the last few months … that there are many things in airspace that can be replaced with drones,” Tom Adams, retired FBI Special Agent and Public Security Director for DroneshieldA global defense solution provider against drones, he told Fox News Digital.
When the news of drones was quickly expanded to social media and the main newspaper houses, Adams said that he testified to some “bias of confirmation” in relation to a large number of visions.
“Some of my friends and relatives who are really in a UAP phenomenon … unknown air phenomena … They really wanted to be drones or aliens, because it suited their story,” he said.
Adams believes that one of the main reasons why there were so many wrong visions could be as simple as a lack of knowledge.
“I think some people just looked up to see what’s in the airspace for the first time,” he said. “Drones are still new to many people, so the rules and regulations for using drones in the United States are also unknown to many people, because they did not need to learn or experience it.”
Adams explained that, especially at night, it was easy to replace the other aircraft in the sky for a drone.
“Many drones have white, red and green lights … The aircraft have white, red and green lights at night … Other things in the sky, whether it is a celestial body or satellite in a low earth orbit, also have white lights,” he said. “In day, when you look at the plane in the sky … you can also see other features that help you understand the depth or distance that is far from you … you do not have that perception of depth on … night.”
Austin has misjudged by drones in the dark sky attributed the “parallax effect”, explaining: “It is extremely difficult at night … identify the aircraft, especially when you are not dressed. The reason why it is difficult for people to really exist anything against the night sky to give you a perspective . “
Both Adams and Austin said they believe that and beyond public education about drones is needed and can help reduce the number of misanishments.

While the Government, according to President Trump, continues to explore the first flood of droning visions, Austin believes that the public will see another great inflow of visions for changing in the Firmware of the Great Drones manufacturer.
“There was a significant development,” Austin said, adding that Dji, Chinese manufacturer For many drones registered in the United States, this month changed the firmver to eliminate the built -in geofencing feature, which blocked the flight in limited areas.

“If you flew by DJI drone … and you came to the airport … The manufacturer set up some kind of invisible barrier around the airport border. Your drone would stop flying. It all ended on January 13th. It is now on an individual user Or every pilot has control, “Austin explained.
“I anticipate you will see a lot of drone incursions … it is my greatest fear now. “
Dji told Fox News Digital that “remains committed to promoting safe and responsible flight practices. The recent update of Geo is aligned with the principle set by airline regulators around the world-including the Federal Air Force Administration (FAA)-that the operators are responsible for respect rules. “
Drones operators will now see the official FAA airspace data on where they can and where I cannot fly, DJI added, and will receive warnings in the application if they fly near a controlled airspace that determined the FAA.
The company also said she voluntarily implemented geofencing 2013, and noted that FAA has now Remote ID requests which serve as equivalent to “registration plates” for drones..
FAA told Fox News Digital that his role was to ensure safe operation of drones within the wider national air space system and that he did not require geofencing from the producers of drones.
The agency noted that it is generally legal to manage the drone at most locations, as long as it flies below 400 feet, but there are rules – including the airspace for airspace, safety tests, holding drones in sight, avoiding all other aircraft, not causing danger to humans or property and avoiding limited airspace.
