A close adviser to Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to the American public, claiming the nationwide drone sightings are linked to a chilling government plot.
Charlie Kirk, 31, a conservative political activist and close confidante of President-elect Trump, took to Project Blue Beam.
‘WE ARE F****D. THE DRONES ARE PROJECT BLUE BEAM,” Kirk posted on X.
‘Look for videos of them transforming from balls of light into airplanes when filmed so you can see for yourself. THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT INVESTIGATE. THEY DO THIS. WHAT YOU SEE IN THE NEXT DAYS IS NOT GOOD.”
Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory from the 1990s that claims that global elites, including government and military organizations, plan to use advanced technology to orchestrate celestial events to manipulate the world’s population.
The theory has recently regained traction online, as commentators like Kirk argue that the US government could orchestrate an alien invasion as a pretext for imposing authoritarian rule.
This bizarre theory is one of many that have been amplified over the past week in the information vacuum left in the wake of the Biden administration’s inability to tell the public where the drones are coming from or who is behind them.
The Pentagon maintains there is no threat to national security but has been unable to explain the spate of drone sightings across the country in recent weeks. The vast majority were in New Jersey, but mysterious planes have also been reported across the country, from Washington DC to California.

Kirk’s bold post on
Kirk’s “balls of light” claim appears to refer to a recent sighting of a “glowing orb” floating in the sky above New Jersey.
The footage captured by ABC7 in Mendham Township went viral this weekend when a reporter on the scene told anchors in the studio, “We have no idea what it is.”
Some claimed the video showed a distant light source, such as an out-of-focus star, while others claimed it was a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon).
Although Kirk’s theory is marginal, the conservative commentator is by no means on the fringes of Trump’s MAGA movement. Last month, it was reported that the president-elect had used Kirk as a sounding board for potential cabinet picks, along with other trusted advisors such as Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.
In Kirk’s post about Project Blue Beam he included this an attachment from a Reddit thread, allegedly posted by a 25-year-old ‘Radar Operator’, who claimed that the drones are part of a military ‘exercise’ and that all information released is on a ‘need to know basis’.
‘The drones are part of a military ‘exercise’ carried out by the Space Force. Everything is on a ‘need to know’ basis and that is why there is so much confusion,” the post reads.
The user, who titled the post “Radar Guy here, I know who’s flying the Drones,” said they were “worried” that “something big is going to happen.”
Mysterious drones are terrorizing US cities from coast to coast, as the creepy objects have now been spotted in California, Massachusetts, Florida, Wyoming, Maryland, New York and New Jersey.

The user, whose sentiments were eventually echoed by the president’s adviser-elect, claimed to be aware of so-called “full lockout” exercises, which they said would “remove the complete turnover of all radio and radar aircraft communications with the military for for several hours at a time’. .
The wild claim is linked to the decades-old conspiracy as part of the multifaceted theory that preys on fears of government secrets and military secrecy.
The Reddit user similarly referred to the “goals” of Project Blue Beam, as they claimed that the US government is preparing to put on a “big show” for the public very soon.
Another part of the theory claims that miraculous or supernatural events would be staged to convince the masses of the legitimacy of the new world order that was intended to be established as part of the plan.
The user even went so far as to claim that CNN was filming “pre-roll” for a future story about the upcoming “big show.”
“CNN was even with us to shoot pre-roll footage for a future story. I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but all I know is this: GET READY!’ the message ended.
Nearly 5,000 reports of drone sightings have been sent to federal officials, including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The curious drone sightings were first reported in New Jersey in late November, after many took to social media to share their own sightings.

On Friday, internet personality Mario Nawfal took to
His post included a video of the strange “glowing orb” in the New Jersey sky.
Nawfal claimed to have seen more than 50 drones flying over the east coast state in one night.
The 30-year-old entrepreneur called the drones “creepy” and “invisible to trackers” before claiming federal officials have “no idea” what’s going on.
“And guess what? “Neither the military, the FBI, nor Homeland Security have any idea who is behind them,” Nawfal said.
Nawfal concluded his message by asking, “Is this Big Brother or the start of a cheap alien invasion?”
White House, FBI and DHS officials emphasized Saturday that most of the recent reported drone sightings in New Jersey and nearby states involved manned aircraft and that there was no evidence of any threat to national security.
An FBI official told reporters at an impromptu briefing that the agency was working with 50 local, state and federal partners to investigate the increased reports.
The official said that fewer than 100 of the more than 5,000 reported sightings appeared to be worthy of further investigation, and that all major fixed-wing sightings reported so far involved manned aircraft.
Joe Biden is receiving regular updates on the issue, a White House official said.
On Cape Cod in Massachusetts, residents and a Harwich police officer reported seeing 10 to 15 drones flying in the sky Friday evening, the Boston Herald reported.
Police passed the information on to the Boston FBI and Massachusetts State Police.
Governor Maura Healey said on Facebook that she is also “aware of a growing number of drone sightings across Massachusetts and we are closely monitoring the situation.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Saturday called for a boost in federal law enforcement efforts after the runways at a local airport in the Hudson Valley were closed for an hour Friday due to drone activity.
“This has gone too far,” Hochul said in a statement on the social media network X, urging the Biden administration to boost law enforcement in New York and other areas and calling on Congress to pass drone reform legislation to approve.
A Federal Aviation Administration official said a temporary ban on drone activities had been imposed over Picatinny Arsenal, a military base in Wharton, New Jersey, that was set to expire on December 26 and could be made permanent.
There had been drone sightings over Picatinny and another Navy weapons station in December, a military official told reporters, but there was no information or observation that they were linked to a foreign actor or had malicious intent. Drone operations over military installations are generally prohibited but do occur from time to time, the official added.
A second ban was imposed at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, which was set to expire Dec. 20 but could be extended, the FAA official said.
