A small-town mayor admitted he’s baffled by a series of mysterious flying objects that have baffled locals in his Wyoming community for more than a year.
Unidentified flying objects [UFOs] They were spotted regularly for 13 months over the Jim Bridger Power Station and the Red Desert in Sweetwater County.
Sweetwater County Sheriff John Grossnickle saw lighted, drone-like objects on Dec. 13, his spokesman, Jason Moyer, said. Cowboy State Daily.
Moore said they worked with everyone they could think of to try to solve the mystery in the sky.
“We did everything we could to find out who they were, and no one wanted to give us any answers,” he said.
Local residents are now so accustomed to the strange sightings that the Sheriff’s Office has stopped taking calls about them, the spokesperson told the outlet.
“It’s like the new normal,” Mower said.
He also noted that the objects are thousands of feet above the ground, making them too high to be launched from the ground.

Mower said there were no problems or concerns among local residents in the area, other than their presence.
However, if UFOs were to cause danger, “rest assured…we will definitely act accordingly,” Mower added.
The first sightings of drones in Sweetwater came at a time when New Jersey was experiencing mass hysteria when drones were repeatedly seen lighting up the night sky.
A private contractor appears to have solved that mystery after revealing at the Army’s UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker in August that they launched the objects to “test their capabilities,” according to New York Post.
“Remember the big UFO scare in New Jersey last year?” “Well, it was us,” an unnamed contractor employee allegedly said to a crowd at the event.
According to a source at the top, the employee went on to claim that there was no need to disclose their work to the public because they had a private government contract.

Why do you think officials are ignorant of people about these mysterious flying objects?
Locals in Sweetwater County have become so accustomed to strange sightings that the Sheriff’s Office no longer receives calls about them
About 964 UFO sightings were recorded in the state from Nov. 19 through Dec. 13, 2024, according to statistics compiled by the state Office of Emergency Management.
At the first press conference of President Trump’s second administration on January 28, Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt said that the FAA had authorized drones and that they did not pose a national security threat.
The FAA attributed the sightings to “commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars that were mistakenly reported as drones.”
The agency then issued a temporary ban on drone flights, but as viewing continued, warned that “deadly force” could be used against drones that pose an “imminent security threat.”
An exclusive poll by DailyMail.com and JL Partners found that nearly half (45 percent) of people believed the alien activity was more than just recreational or casual use of drones, with a majority (26 percent) of survey respondents citing foreign surveillance.

The foreign powers mentioned are China or Russia, which lawmakers like Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, have suspected that some of the unidentified planes are “spy drones.”
But 19% of Americans believe the sightings are nothing more than drones, and 18% said they are “ordinary aviation activity that has been exaggerated.”
Some Americans (17%) believed the drones were government surveillance tools, but 10% said the drone was actually protecting citizens.
8% believe that drones are spacecraft.
