President-elect Donald Trump has urged the U.S. government to disclose information about mysterious drones reportedly flying over the East Coast or to shoot them down if they cannot explain their presence. Drones have been sighted from New Jersey to New York, including near military bases, leading to public concern and numerous reports to hotlines. Trump demanded, 'Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!' He expressed skepticism that the drones are operating without government knowledge, stating, 'Our military knows, and our President knows... For some reason, they don't want to tell the people, and they should.' The president-elect added he 'can't imagine the drones are controlled by U.S. enemies' as they would have been shot down.
