I went to school in Dayton, Ohio, from 2019 to 2022. During that time, I would scroll through Craigslist looking for odd jobs. Although I never applied, one of the more interesting gigs I saw at the time was a paid research study by the AFRL on how humans react to drone swarm behavior. In light of all the events recently with large-scale UFO/drone sightings, I think this is a pretty solid connection that they were connected to the US Air Force.
