The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States has confirmed in recent years that US Air Force pilots near the training area in Arizona have reported multiple encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs), with the UFOs sometimes appearing in groups.
In one instance, an unidentified flying object even collided with the cockpit of an F-16 Viper fighter jet, causing millions of dollars in damage to the aircraft.
According to NewsNation border reporter Ali Bradley, based on intelligence regarding unidentified flying objects in the border area, drug trafficking groups are using drones to smuggle drugs or conduct reconnaissance. Bradley stated, “Drug trafficking groups want to obtain intelligence about the United States, this is their usual method, their top priority is always to stay one step ahead of us.” She added, “What better way to infiltrate our military facilities than through drug trafficking?”
Over the past decade, drug trafficking groups have been using drones to transport up to 10 kilograms of drugs each time, but the technology used in these agricultural drones from France and Russia make them difficult to track.
Renowned expert Luis Elizondo, who previously served as an unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) investigator at the Pentagon, testified to Congress that he has heard about these encounters. He told NewsNation, “I can tell you that in Arizona, especially in the border areas, there has indeed been a lot of activity, with many people reporting various abnormal phenomena.”
On December 15, 2024, then-US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas stated that the federal government is taking action to address the frequent discovery of unidentified drones in places like New Jersey. In an interview with ABC’s “This Week” program, Mayorkas said that there is no evidence of foreign involvement in the drone sightings over the US East Coast, but the Department of Homeland Security remains vigilant in investigating the matter, providing additional resources, personnel, and technology to assist New Jersey law enforcement in resolving drone sighting incidents.
In 1952, Rev. Louis A. Gardner, an evangelical pastor from Los Angeles, wrote to renowned physicist Albert Einstein inquiring about his thoughts on UFOs. The response received was only a few brief sentences: “Those people did indeed see something, what it is, I do not know, nor do I want to know.”
