I know that there are no commercial enterprises within the continental United States that have this capability that we know of. There are no hobbyists that have this capability that we know of. We can't imagine that the U.S. government would be flying all these drones, some of them that are the size of minibuses, in the air that we know of. We can't imagine the U.S.

What I do know is that I've been contacted because I'm the vice chair of the Transportation Committee and I sit on the committee, the aviation subcommittee that deals with all this, that deals with drones, and that I have been contacted by well-placed, high-level sources with high security clearances that do not want to tell who they are, understandably so.

They're concerned, but they're also concerned that this isn't coming out that in the port of Iran that one of their motherships had left weeks ago. We do know that, and we know for sure that Iran does have these capabilities through China because they're dealing with them.

These high-level sources that I have believe that there's a very real significant possibility that there is an Iranian mothership out there and that it is releasing these high-level sophisticated drones You know, no hobbyist is doing this. These drones have special lights on them for nighttime. They are sophisticated in how they operate, how they move, and, of course, in their size.

This needs to be detailed. We need to know more. But the very fact that there's a very real possibility that this is what it is should be of concern. I had two choices. One was to hold this information, where the other was to expose it, and I believe that it needed to be exposed, which is what I did. And you know what I say to the government? Prove me wrong. I hope they do.

I hope that it's some mishap where it's the government itself. But I can't imagine them doing that. There's no hobbyist that can do that and no commercial enterprise that would do it. So what the hell is it?
