Citizens\u200c have expressed concern and confusion over the frequent drone\u2062 activity, which has been described as invasive and disturbing. Despite public\u2062 outcry, White House \u2062National Security adviser John Kirby downplayed the sightings, suggesting residents may be mistaking aircraft lights for drones. Hogan,\u2064 who personally witnessed dozens of drones near his home in Davidsonville, Maryland, has joined the calls for\u2062 clarity and answers regarding the drones&#8217; origins and purposes. He emphasized \u2063the importance of government accountability, \u2064pointing out that the lack of facts is unacceptable as\u200c it <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">raises potential public safety<\/a> \u200band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/blackburn-introduces-amendments-to-counter-china-and-iran\/\" title=\"Blackburn Introduces Amendments to Counter China and Iran\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-got-it-newsmax-reporter-emerald-robinson-national-security-source-confirms-a-piece-of-hardware-has-been-secured-in-germany\/\" title=\"We Got It! - Newsmax Reporter Emerald Robinson: National Security Source Confirms &quot;A Piece of Hardware Has Been Secured&quot; in Germany\">national security<\/a> concerns<\/a>.The \u2063issue of unexplained drone sightings isn&#8217;t new,as similar incidents\u2063 have occurred over military \u2062installations,further fueling public anxiety and demand for clarity from federal authorities.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A former governor of Maryland has lambasted the federal government&rsquo;s state of denial over reports of drones hovering in the skies of several states.<\/p>\n<p>Since mid-November, New Jersey residents have complained that frequent recurring drone activity had invaded their peace of mind. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/concerning-drone-sightings-spread-new-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connecticut<\/a> residents have also said they are spooked by whatever is going on in the sky with unprecedented drone sightings.<\/p>\n<p>The rise in sightings and questions was met with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/white-house-issues-unconvincing-statement-mysterious-drone-sightings-sparking-anger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shrug<\/a> by White House National Security Communications adviser <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/people\/john-kirby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Kirby<\/a>, who on Thursday said the sightings pose no harm and that residents are most likely seeing aircraft lights and mistaking them for drones., according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/state-watch\/5039464-drone-sightings-nj-ny-pennsylvania-fbi-dhs-faa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But the concerns are not going away.
