I just want one reporter to ask "Can you confirm that if this was indeed a top secret military program in development, that your first response would be to deny it was the military to keep the program secure?"

Like stop asking if it's the military, get to the point and ask if you'd be told to deny it if it was the military.

Personally, I think it's ramping up for a drone surveillance state in the US. As the homeland security administrator said, they've been concerned about how people talk on the internet for some time, long before Luigi Mangione popped off. They've viewed their own citizens as the enemy for a long time now, and the mask has been slipping hard.

could just film a plane on a shitty phone and use the zoom camera all the way onto plane, add a bit a shaky cam effect by intentionally shaking the phone, then post on social media “OMG ALIENS!”

I did this to a friend once lol I was walking on one of those days you can see the moon during the day and since there was a clear sky I just zoomed in and shook my phone a bit to make it appear to be moving lol
