Former Pentagon official Chris Mellon cited "drone swarm" sightings at multiple sensitive US military installations, describing the crafts as "taunting" due to their deliberate visibility and the failure of signal-jamming measures. "These craft are making no effort to remain concealed," Mellon stated.
