Laura Ballman, a former CIA operations officer, called for a clearer explanation from the federal government for the increasing drone activity.

A former CIA officer has put forward a frightening theory behind the recent surge Drone sightings in the Northeast, suggesting that the mysterious flying objects could be part of a “secret exercise” approved by the US government Biden administration.
In a Saturday interview with Fox News Live, Laura Ballmana former CIA operations officer, called on the federal government to provide a clearer explanation for the increasing drone activity. “Now as far as the question of who is behind this is concerned, one infers from the statements of John Kirby, who has said that these objects are not operating illegally, coupled with the several comments that have been published about them in the last 24 hours Looking at our detection systems, I might think that this is actually one classified exercise to test either evasion technology or detection technology in urban areas,” Ballman speculated.

Her comments came as federal officials downplayed public concerns about the drone sightings. However, Ballman expressed concern about the lack of transparency from the government, stating: “The question of why the federal government wouldn’t be more forthcoming actually worried me.” If I were in a position to advise, I would say that it is “It’s time to be more transparent.”
The same day, an FBI official dismissed the growing hysteria surrounding the sightings in a call hosted by senior Biden administration officials. According to Fox News, the official downplayed the situation, saying, “We’re doing our best to figure out the origin of this specific… this drone activity,” but added, “I think there’s been a slight overreaction.” The official also disclosed , that the FBI had received about 5,000 tips about drone sightings, although only about 100 required further investigation.
Despite federal assurances, Ballman’s theory has added fuel to the fire and sparked further speculation about the true nature of drone activity. As the debate continues, both federal and local authorities are under increasing pressure to clarify the origin and purpose of the drones flying through U.S. airspace.
