Drones that swarmed US warships off the coast of California in 2019 were from a mysterious Hong Kong-registered spy ship, say US Navy

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Pentagon has previously disclosed intriguing photos showing unidentified aerial phenomena flying above US warships in 2019

  • Last month, during a hotly-anticipated Congressional hearing into UAP and possible UFO sightings, military officials said some sightings had been explained

  • On Friday military intelligence website The Drive published new information, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act, about the sightings

  • The found that, off the coast of southern California, there were 10 encounters with suspicious drones from March 30, 2019 to July 30, 2019

  • On July 15, 2019, two US warships - the USS Paul Hamilton and the USS Bunker Hill - reported being followed by drones from a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship

  • The warships radioed the ship, MV Bass Strait, but received no answer: Bass Strait's owner-operator, Hong Kong-based Pacific Basin, has not commented

  • Other incidents saw drones launched by 'local fisherman operating personal quadcopters', and by pleasure craft that failed to respond to radio messages

#1  So why didn't that ship have an accident during the next night? Do we not have any torpedoes anymore?
