Allen, United States – December 16, 2024 A drone hovering in the early morning skies over Allen, Texas, on December 16 has added to growing unease across the United States, as unexplained aerial sightings continue to puzzle officials and residents alike. X user Steve Shackelford shared a video of the drone captured at approximately 4:50 a.m. CT. “Is this thing a police drone or something in Allen?” Shackelford asked, noting the limitations of his phone’s video quality. The sighting comes amid nearly a month of drone reports sweeping across New Jersey and other states, including New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. US authorities have yet to provide concrete answers, though Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed on Sunday that the sightings include drones and manned aircraft often mistaken for them. Officials stress there is no evidence of foreign involvement or a threat to public safety, yet concerns remain. Lawmakers have criticized the lack of transparency, especially as drones have appeared near sensitive locations, such as military facilities and airports. With public curiosity—and concern—on the rise, the skies above Allen now join the growing list of places swept into the nation’s unfolding drone mystery.
