My bets would be that this is some classify project to test supersonic drones against US detection capabilities. Maybe some kind of hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) like the Russia Avangard [1] missile. Hopefully this is the US themself and n

I don't like it too, the possible consequences are way worst than the current situation. Digital government issued currencies are the foundation of mass surveillance, control of the people and dictatorship. It gives way too much power
