Sportscaster/podcast host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stephen-a-smith" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen A. Smith</a> demanded answers from the U.S. government about the drones flying in the northeast, comparing it to something out of the alien invasion film “Independence Day.&#8221;
During the latest episode of “First Take,” Smith and cohost NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe were discussing the New York Giants&#8217; loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday when Sharpe made a quip about how people “might need to fly some more planes overhead.” It was a reference to fans paying to fly a banner over the stadium, demanding that the owner fix the team, as <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/sports/stephen-a-smith-demands-answers-to-drone-sightings-in-the-northeast-i-saw-independence-day-dammit/">Mediaite</a> reported.
“Let me tell you something, these damn drones in New York City,” Smith replied. “The United States government, get it together! Get it together!”
“There’s drones flying over people’s houses in Jersey and New York!” he added. “I saw Independence Day, dammit! I ain’t underestimating none of that stuff! Figure it out!”

The movie Smith referenced is a 1996 sci-fi thriller — starring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum — in which a group of extraterrestrials come to earth with the plan to annihilate the entire world.
A description about the movie on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116629/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IMDb</a> read, “The aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind&#8217;s best weapon is the will to survive.”
The comments were similar to what others have been saying on social media about the unidentified drones, seen flying primarily over New Jersey, that have alarmed residents and lawmakers as the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have said little beyond admitting they&#8217;re investigating the phenomena, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unidentified-drones-entered-airspace-over-u-s-navy-weapons-station">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. 
Fox News host Harris Faulkner recently talked about the drones, taking video and posting it on <a href="https://x.com/HARRISFAULKNER/status/1867697001741140384">X</a>. 
“JUST SAW THE MYSTERY DRONE ACTIVITY FOR MYSELF. Dusk hit moments ago and very large drones flew outside my bedroom windows,” Faulkner’s post read. “My daughter Bella ran to get her cell.”
“There are 6-8 hovering in one area now above the Hudson River,” she added. “Street traffic to the George Washington Bridge is crawling as neighbors stopping to witness this.
She later posted a message from President-elect Donald Trump, who also weighed in on the mysterious flying devices, calling on the government to let the people know what’s going on.
“NOW TRUMP: Incoming President Trump calls for telling American citizens the truth or shoot down the mystery<a href="https://x.com/hashtag/drones?src=hashtag_click"> #drones</a>,” she <a href="https://x.com/HARRISFAULKNER/status/1867706242065412447">added</a> in a second post.
“Mystery drone sightings all over country,” Trump’s post read. “Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I [don’t] think so. Let the public know, and now. Otherwise [shoot] them down! DJT.”
