they don't fly those over ny and dc all fucking night, they do these. there is no reason they wouldn't disclose 'testing a new drone system' when not doing so would (and has done) do nothing but draw massive attention to it, negating the whole 'secrecy' thing by making it unmissable. all they'd have to do is fucking lie about it and say it's just testing a new flight system or training for possible attacks, etc. not hard. hiding it and pretending to know nothing is a net negative for them while doing this over some of the most populated areas in the world outside of china and india. people like you are absolute retards who they manipulate the easiest.
