Mysterious Drone Sightings: Give Me the DTLs (Dates, Times, Locations) by Mick West

In late 2024 and early 2025, reports of mysterious drone swarms over New Jersey and U.S. military bases triggered widespread media coverage and public concern, culminating in official statements from the Air Force and President Trump. Skeptical investigator Mick West debunked many of these sightings—often just misidentified planes—by promoting the need for “DTLs” (date, time, and location) to verify such claims through flight tracking and 3D reconstructions.
