Like everyone across the nation, Oklahomans have a lot of questions about the drones, mostly if anyone else in the state has seen them. And rightfully so, Oklahomans are concerned for their safety.

As of 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16, there is still not a definitive answer for why these drones are appearing across the United States and now in Oklahoma. But it seems Gov. Stitt is preparing Oklahoma law enforcement to take appropriate action if needed to monitor and identify UAS.
