Buddy, just stay out of this one.

We’ve all had a lot of fun with the drone story over the past few weeks. And why not? The news these days typically ranges from boring to bad, so if we can all rally around something with a bit of interest — i.e. imminent alien invasion — it may be the odd sort of news story that can really bring this country together.

Recently, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan decided to hop into the mix and offer his own thoughts on the issue. In a statement, he wrote that he personally witnessed the drones, saying, “Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.”

The problem? The video he posted accompanying this statement simply shows normal, everyday stars — specifically, Sirius and Procyon. Leave this one to the real conspiracy heads, mmk?
