“Why the f**k are they flying all around and are on network tv and it’s not questioned?” asked one.
Another user said, “The crazy thing about that is it’s skipping like a stone, which has been mentioned in UFOs reports by pilots and other witnesses.” “Sure doesn’t look like a civilian drone or aeroplane, nor Venus or solar flares,” commented a third.
