RESTRAINED AS A PARENT IN THAT BRIAN ENTIN, THANKS SO MUCH. >> A RECENT DRONE ACTIVITY OVER US MILITARY AIRSPACE IS FUELING QUESTIONS ON WHAT'S BEING DONE TO MONITOR. >> SUCH AIRCRAFT. US AIR FORCE OFFICIALS CONFIRMING SEVERAL UNMANNED DRONES FLEW OVER LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE IN VIRGINIA BACK IN DECEMBER. IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP AT CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS TWICE JUST THIS MONTH ALONE IN ONE EXCHANGE SENATOR MARK KELLY QUESTION THE JOINT CHIEFS CHAIRMAN ON WHY AND HOW THESE DRONES GOT SO CLOSE TO SENSITIVE MILITARY AIRSPACE. TAKE A LISTEN. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO CONTINUE WORK IS UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGY IS IMPORTANT TO MOVE WITH THE SAME FACES. IT WAS WAS HIGHLIGHTED. WE DO HAVE TO MOVE FASTER. AND SO IT'S AN AREA THAT WE COLLECTIVELY HAVE TO CONTINUE WORK ON NOT ONLY DEFENSE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES BUT ALSO FOR LOCATIONS. WE HAVE MADE OUR SERVICE MEMBERS DEPLOYED. >> AND THIS ISSUE IS THE TOPIC OF THE LATEST EPISODE OF 1 OF OUR NEW PODCAST. AND RIGHT NOW THE LINK TO REALITY CHECK WITH ROSS COLD. HEART IS LIVE JUST TO GET YOUR PHONE SCAN. THIS QR CODE RIGHT HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN OR VISIT NEWS NATION'S WEBSITE OR OUR YOUTUBE PAGE TO GET THAT LAKE. BUT JOINING ME NOW IS REALITY CHECK HOST NEWSNATION. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT ROSS COLD HARD. ROSS, GOOD TO HAVE YOU THIS MORNING. IN YOUR LATEST EPISODE. YOU INTERVIEW A WITNESS TO THE MYSTERIOUS DRONES THAT FLEW OVER LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE. LET'S TAKE A LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. FIRST. >> KIND OF CONFIRMS ME. THAT WAS LAYING RIGHT. WHAT I WOULD SOMETIMES SEE SEARCH LIKE THAT WOULD START SLASHING FROM THE GROUND AND KIND OF WAVED BACK IN-STORE, NEVER REALLY FOCUSING ON ANY OF THEM AS THEY WENT PAST. BUT JUST KIND OF LIKE BACK AND FORTH. BUT THE 2 I WOULD SAY LOOK ABOUT CAR SIZE. IN JUST FROM THAT DISTANCE AND THEY KEPT A VERY STEADY PACE UNTIL THEY GOT OVER THAT LOCATION AND WHICH THEY WOULD START OVER AND OVER AND OVER. THE BASE. >> YES. SO ROSS, THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THESE DRONES. BUT YOU SEE THAT VIDEO WE PLAYED THERE TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF SCREEN. WHAT'S YOUR TAKE ON WHO COULD BE SENDING DRONES OVER US AIRSPACE. >> WELL, GOOD MORNING. THE WOULD THEY USING G IS DRAGOS. BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT WHAT WE WOULD CALL COMMISSION MILLET READ RUNS THE WITNESS THAT I DID. YOU, JONATHAN. HE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE FOR SURE. WITH THE WITH PROPELLER BLADES. WILL ANY KIND OF PROPULSION SYSTEM THAT WAS KEEPING THESE DRONES HOVERING IN THE AIR. AND AS HE SAYS, THIS WAS CAPSIZEDED. THESE WERE LARGE ORANGE OF JAKE'S WITH NO VISIBLE MEANS OF PROPULSION. AND THIS ISN'T JUST HAPPENING AT LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE. THESE INCIDENTS LACROSSE KEY MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AND PARTICULARLY NUCLEAR FACILITIES ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND I KNOW THE IT FEELS LIKE TO USE THE EUPHEMISM DRONES BECAUSE THAT OFFERS A PALATABLE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE THAT MIGHT BE A FOREIGN ADVERSARY. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDENCE PRESENTED OF ANY FORWARD ADVISORY BEING ABLE TO DEPLOY DRONES IN WALK AT LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE IS ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE. IF WILL SPACES ON THE EAST COAST. THIS IS WHERE WE'VE GOT IF 22 RAPTORS, THIS IS THE FORWARD DEFEATS FOR FOR WASHINGTON, D C THIS IS A VERY, VERY IMPORTANT MILITARY BASE. AND IT'S QUITE CLEAR IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO STOP THESE OBJECTS FROM COMING INTO THAT VERY, VERY SENSITIVE MILITARY AIRSPACE. YEAH. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE FLOODED THE IDEA OF THIS BEING YOU KNOW, SENT FROM CHINA, RUSSIA AFTER ESPECIALLY AFTER WE SAW THAT CHINESE SPY BALLOON JUST LAST YEAR. >> THIS LATEST EPISODE ALSO TALKS ABOUT HOW THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS ARE USING DRONES OVER OUR SOUTHERN BORDER ARE DRONES CHANGING THE WAY AMERICAN ENEMIES ARE SPYING ON US. >> BUT YEAH, INDEED THEY I THINK THE THE ESTIMATION FROM NORTH COMBS COMMAND BEING THAT THERE'S 1000 DRONE AND CUSHIONS A LOT ACROSS SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE UNITED STATES, PARTICULARLY FROM CRIME CARTELS IN MEXICO AND THE ALARMING THING IS THAT THERE ARE ADMISSIONS THESE THESE TECHNOLOGY'S FINAL BEYOND WHAT THE UNITED STATES IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ITSELF THE DAY USING HIGHLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY OF THE STATE TO BRING ILLICIT MEET MATERIALS, PERHAPS WEAPONS, PERHAPS DRUGS AND THIS IS LARGELY UNREGULATED SAID IT'S HUGE CAN SOON WE INTERVIEW CONGRESSMAN GLENN GROTHMAN IN THE STORY WHO TALKS ABOUT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE OF CONCERN. WHAT ARE YOU ALSO RISES IS CONCERNS, FRANKLY, THAT THAT WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THIS BRYCE A REPORTING ALL OF A NOBLE OF SUBJECTS TO THE SCENE IN OUR SKIES SO THAT THESE THINGS ARE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF AUTHORITIES BECAUSE WE HAVE CRAZY SITUATION WE'RE REPORTING THESE OBJECTS. IT'S SO STIGMATIZED. THE PILOTS DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT COMING FORWARD AND THERE'S A LOT OF TREE PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT THE CONGRESSMAN IS PUSHING WITH HIS COLLEAGUES IN THE HOUSE, WHICH WILL ESSENTIALLY ALLOW PILOTS TO GET PROTECTIONS TO KNOW THAT THEY CAN COME FORWARD TO THE FBI AND OTHER AGENCIES AND KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO SUFFER
