Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan reported Friday that dozens of large drones were in the sky above his house in Davidsonville, Maryland, 25 miles from Washington.

In a post on X, Hogan said he witnessed and videotaped the drones starting around 9:45 p.m. Eastern on Thursday.

“Like many who have observed these drones, I do not know if this increasing activity over our skies is a threat to public safety or national security,” Hogan wrote, referring to the dozens of nighttime drone sightings that have been reported over New Jersey since mid-November. 

Drones also have been reported in New York and Pennsylvania, but Hogan’s post is among the first to report them in Maryland.

Hogan’s post included a two-minute video that showed little specks of white flittering across the night sky and a corner of his house for context.

On Thursday, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said the drones were lawfully operated manned aircraft and showed no evidence of a security threat. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are among the agencies investigating. They have asked residents to share their photos and video of drone sightings.

“The public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with the complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the federal government,” Hogan wrote on X. “The government has the ability to track these from their point of origin but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers but aren’t getting any.”
