Andy Kim Says Drone Scare Fueled By Lack Of Communication, Distrust In Government

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON — Sen Andy Kim thinks public alarm over drones in the night sky has been fueled by lack of information from the federal government. The next day, however, Kim consulted civilian aviators and other experts and reckoned most of the “drones” he’d seen were actually regular manned aircraft. “If local police are potentially misidentifying things because it’s just not their area of expertise, then let’s put information out there for them.” Drone sightings in New Jersey and other East Coast states have been freaking people out since November, with one Republican lawmaker dubiously claiming the drones came from an Iranian “mothership,” others calling for new legislation to curb private drone activity and a military base in Ohio briefly restricting its air space over the weekend. There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted air space.” On Saturday, administration officials detailed their investigative work in a background call with reporters, saying they’d set up a tip line, consulted with local police and checked airport traffic patterns to verify that most of the supposed drones were, in fact, planes going to and from airports. “Our military knows and our president knows and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense,” Trump said, adding that “something strange is going on.” On Saturday, when he acknowledged most of the flying objects he’d seen were planes, Kim explained why he thought the government’s statements were not calming people down.
