When the US departments of Defence and Homeland Security claim they “have no evidence that it’s a foreign entity or some criminal activity, that means they don’t know what it is and that’s not good enough”, said US congressman Mark Green, who chairs the House homeland security committee, on Tuesday.
Green, a Tennessee Republican and China hawk, added that “just last week, the FBI arrested a Chinese national flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base”.
“He was trying leave the country when they actually arrested him,” he continued. “So tying this to China, we have clear indications they’re flying drones in the United States over our sensitive sites.”
Green shared his remarks at an event hosted by the Hudson Institute, a Washington-based think tank.
