We do a little trolling

Seems to be happening in other places too

"Drones" is such a broad term now. Do they mean a DJI drone or an Obama drone?

I've seen stuff about this in other places too. seems to me like its US tech since they show up in US airspace a lot, and dont seem to be getting shot at ever, but there is a push to try and make people think its Iran, or another US enemy from some Senator who said it was Iran sending them to New Jersey. Then the Pentagon was like uh no its not we dont know what they are. Meanwhile the whitehouse is going back and forth between "idk what they are" and "we havent seen anything what do you mean?"

Could be a new tech theyre planning to use to counter the drone swarms Iran, and Russia have been using lately? idk

As for what they look like theyre apparently like 6 feet long, and look either like little planes, or little quad copters. I've seen videos and photos and not all are the same model. They also seem to be acting as a swarm. There was one that went down in new jersey, and the police scanner had a report of 10 others showing up after it went down. This lines up with how a linear swarm would operate all converging on the location of the one that went down so they can re-link with eachother after losing that connection. And they come in off the sea a lot so probably being deployed from a Navy ship out there somewhere.

Its pretty hard to find good info since half the people talking about them are acting like its an alien invasion, but thats what ive gathered so far from what ive seen.

As for why there are so many of these things all over the place all of a sudden i think they are being used as detectors. We are currently being hit by a good number of space rocks as earth passes through a cluster of them. While most are small and burning up in the atmosphere it makes sense the military would want to keep an eye on the sky and study the number and size of the meteors. Since we pass through this cluster of rocks again in a few years, and theres a chance some could end up being dangerous. Plus if they detected a small but sizable enough rock to do damage about to hit a military installation they could probably shoot it down before it did with missile defence systems. These drones would be perfect to use to detect stuff like this as it gives you the ability to move your sensors anywhere you want, and have them over a large area.

Even if they arent worried about the actual meteor shower. If the point of these drones is to detect missiles, and other drones, and intercept them then the meteors would be a really good way to practice and test them out. If you can detect a meteor you can detect a missile.

Sorry for the essay i have been looking into this for a few days and info dumped but hopefully it sheds some light on it for you. A lot of that is just my own speculation tho so take it with a grain of salt.
