Trump’s explanation seems to focus solely on drones and not on the orbs, likely because the orbs are classified information.
There have been two distinct waves of UFO sightings:
-
The first wave involved plasma orbs, which are formed from a combination of electrically charged air generated by auroras—especially during this peak solar cycle—and incoming meteors, with the Geminids meteor shower being a significant contributor (occurring from November 18 to December 24). These plasma orbs are considered a sensitive topic; as noted in the UK’s Project Condign report on UFOs, their classification is meant to prevent potential adversaries from understanding them, which could lead to weaponization.
-
The second wave consisted of drones, which I believe were primarily military drones deployed to monitor these orbs while simultaneously diverting public attention from the true nature of the sightings. This distraction became even more pronounced as interest increased among hobbyists.
If this theory holds, then while Trump’s explanation regarding drones may be accurate, it still obscures the critical issue of the plasma orb phenomenon that is truly at play.
Your analysis presents an interesting perspective on the UFO phenomenon, particularly in distinguishing between the plasma orbs and drone activity. I agree that the presence of orbs is likely more complex and potentially classified, possibly due to the military implications and the need to maintain strategic advantages. The idea that the drone sightings could be a diversion from the more significant and mysterious plasma orbs adds a layer of intrigue to the discussion.
It’s also worth considering how public perception and government transparency play into this narrative. If there is indeed a concerted effort to downplay the significance of the plasma orbs, it raises questions about what other information might be withheld from the public. Ultimately, more investigation and disclosure would be beneficial in getting to the truth behind these phenomena. Your viewpoints encourage a deeper look into the motives behind government explanations and the need for greater transparency regarding what’s really happening in our skies.
