Allegedly, the initial reports were similar in planform to the either the Midnight EVTOL or, more likely, a Pivotal aircraft being tested (Helix? Arrow?).
There is so much saturation in the media and internet that we cant find anything credible that isn't an idiot recording an airliner or helicopter, so idk yet. The media is almost completely moving away form the issue without any clear evidence or answers coming to light, so the aforementioned aircraft are only educated guesses.
I have a lot more to say, but this is relatively new and fluid.
Many (possibly up to 80%) reports are also turning out to be general aviation and even airline aircraft.
What I can confidently say is that drones are way more prevalent in the U.S. than most people think. “Drones” are used in search and rescue, imaging, defense ISR, hobby, agricultural, realty, research and development and training of all the previous, and way more.
It is very much a possibility that the story going viral has lead to a snowball or slippery slope (if I’m using that term right). As more people hear about the drones, more people are tuned in and are even looking for drones, noticing or reporting drones or aircraft they hadn't noticed or cared about before.

This is just my opinion, based on limited experiences and conversations. I’m only truly somewhat in tune with my local state, and do not have all the information, and I am probably wrong in my assumptions.
There are a lot more theories. We’ll see.
@Rb2h first of all, if this is a threat, then why do i or some people, including some who are americans themselves barely heard from it, especially from the US government? and second, how are we supposed to know that it was dangerous or not?
The US government's response...... well, the lack of it is only making things worse. And allegedly, some civilians tried sending their own drones to take a closer look and apparently the lights on the unidentified drones turned off. Some even claims that the civilian drones battery got fried.
@overlord5453 exactly, im also highly certain that whoever operated that drone had no malicious intentions whatsoever and that people are just overreacting by blowing things out of proportion for like no reason other than i assume paranoia

Also there are loads of conflicting theories and misinformation, but no true answers or clear evidence.

There was one above my house last night.
@Rb2h i see, but still, only time will tell i guess, i certainly hope that ww3 isn't gonna happen anytime soon though
@YarisSedan It's probably some sort of secret operation
They have been flying around a government building AND Trump's golf course
Like why lol

This is a huge threat
Like what if they're coordinating an attack?
maybe flying them into stuff?
From the triangle shape, I instantly think they have stealth capabilities (even though the props would run its RCS.)
@overlord5453 it definitely has EW capabilities
it'd be really funny if it was just Amazon or something trying to deliver shit 😭
@overlord5453 yep, i can definitely tell
Probably got over exaggerated in the midst of all the chaos.

Whoever is operating these, they are not trying to hide anything. They are flying around with lights (nav and strobe lights).
@Numbers2 ohhhh i see what some people are talking about
Mostly, triangular shaped propeller driven drones. Like the kamikaze drones.
Im an american and even i dont know.
i really thought i knew the answer
my mind: "fpv drone with 120mm shell"
