But here's, I think, where a lot of the trouble is coming in from. I think the government has to make the presumption at this point, based off the feedback from the DOD and others, that if this is not a foreign adversary, then we have to make the assumption that it's a U.S. citizen that's operating these. Because of that, they essentially need a warrant in order to wiretap these. What? Yeah.

Even with the Patriot Act? That's the feedback I'm receiving. That's the legal limitation. Oh, come on.

I don't buy that. Well, whether it's the reality situation or not, that's how they're proceeding. Right. And so to overcome that, you know, there's like 120 page report that needs to be filed all the way up to the deputy attorney general of the United States in order to even intercept these signals that they may or may not even be emitting to be able to determine where they're going.

And so I think that's one part of what's like slowing down this whole investigation. On the other hand, for base commanders. They have limited authorities to protect their base, but when they do, they need to submit basically a request all the way up to the Secretary of Defense. So now you have this super politically charged situation with a lot of risk of objects flying over the U.S.

If they take action and shoot one of these down, even with the Secretary of Defense's permission, they're on the hook if that thing takes out a school bus or otherwise damages someone's property.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. So formerly trained aerospace engineer in college, joined the Navy immediately after with the hopes to go fly fighter jets for the Navy, was successful in doing that. And I flew the F-18 Super Hornet for 11 years and two deployments. primarily operating off of Virginia Beach. And pretty standard career until about 2013 or so when we started to – we came back from our deployment.

We began to upgrade our radar systems. When that happened, we put in essentially a much more powerful radar into our jet. It took about eight months. So you'd have – you might fly with a – Newer radar in the morning, maybe an older radar at night.
