There's no need to think about a government cover up, and I feel like it's a way to phrase the argument such that it appears one either believes in strange drones or a government cover up. You can argue against the "large-scale cover up" and pretend like you are arguing against the existence of the drones, but in reality, you are not. Incidentally, the government has many times tested technologies that it did not acknowledge to the public or to the press. In reality, the government team investigating said they couldn't find any evidence of illegal drones. You don't have to invoke a conspiracy to explain this - they didn't find any evidence. As I've written before, what evidence would we expect them to find? Drones flying through the air tend not to leave tracks. Much of what you write here is incorrect. For example, you say that the government investigation found no evidence of strange groups of drones. That's wrong, in the week of January 6 to January 13 the team investigated 23 sightings and listed 4 of them as "confirmed by law enforcement but unable to identify." [1] You write that the eye witnesses reports aren't independent because they were influenced by earlier reporting. The story was first reported by The Denver Post and in that story there were multiple reports from different people. [2] Subsequent reports may, or may not, be influenced by the initial story, but the multiple reports in the initial are independent. You say that there is no imagery or photographs of the flight operations. This isn't true. Here's a photo of one of the drones they are investigating [3] and there are news stories referring to the collection of videos and photos though I didn't find them with a Google search. [4] Regarding your implication that I'm being credulous - I hardly think so. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that many people simultaneously imagined a drone fleet flying over them, but I need better evidence than "a government team investigating weeks later didn't see the drones that weren't there any more". A good video would be more compelling, but it doesn't surprise me that it's difficult to take a good video at night with a phone. 1 - https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/publicsafety/news/updates-investigations-suspicious-drone-activity-ne-colorado https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/publicsafety/news/updates-i... 2 - https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/23/drones-mystery-colorado/ https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/23/drones-mystery-colorad... 3 - https://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/2020/01/09/colorado-homeland-security-plane-couldnt-find-drones/ https://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/2020/01/09/colorado-hom... 4 - https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/31/drone-video-yuma-county-colorado/ https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/31/drone-video-yuma-count...
