# Drone Sightings Near Covered U.S. Military and Civilian Areas

# Drone Sightings Near Covered U.S. Military and Civilian Areas

This private preview maps reported drone sightings from news stories over official covered military and civilian areas.

Use the time slider plus the Play and Pause controls to watch red dots appear across time, then match the `event_id` on the map to the row data directly below it.

Each point is tied to one public event row and a linked source list. This release tracks reported drone sightings and does not prove intent, threat, wrongdoing, or a verified security breach.
