If you see an SUV-sized drone in the sky tonight, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin wants to know.
“The Commonwealth of Virginia is home to a significant number of national security and critical infrastructure sites upon which our nation depends each and every day. I remain deeply concerned that Virginia has consistently sought information from federal partners, and to date, the information shared with the Commonwealth has been insufficient,” Youngkin said, as his office announced a drone tip line.
You can call in your observations to the Virginia Fusion Center at (877)4VA-TIPS or email [email protected].
That is, if you haven’t already been laser-beamed up to the mothership.
A press release from the governor’s office advises you to not to attempt to interfere with drones by utilizing personally owned drones or any other airborne craft or attempting to capture the suspected drone/aircraft individually.
The release didn’t say, but could have, and maybe should have – don’t climb a tree in the backyard to try to shoot one of these things down.
Seriously.
Stafford County authorities noted in an online post that there have been drone sightings in Northern Virginia, and of course, we have reports in multiple counties in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
Are we about to be invaded?
Maybe.
Are the invaders of this solar system?
We don’t know.
The feds aren’t saying anything, which is frustrating as all get out.
“We will continue to engage with numerous federal partners and release further information as it becomes known and available,” said Youngkin, adding that the Virginia State Police Homeland Security Division and Virginia Department of Emergency Management will continue to closely coordinate through the Virginia Fusion Center with the greater law enforcement and first responder community regarding drone activity in the Commonwealth.
What he’s trying to say is, sleep easy, but, I mean, I dunno.
