60 Minutes drone segment dropped. Or not:

TL;DW: They appeared to be spying on bases such as Langley, NORAD's systems couldn't track them because they were too small and flying low, the FBI/Pentagon doesn't seem to know what they were. Visitations stopped after about 17 days. Actions to bring them down would be too risky near American homes, and there were jurisdictional problems as they moved into different areas. The segment also brings up past sightings, The War Zone's reporting, and possibly connects 2019 sightings to a Hong Kong freighter.

This past November, Gen. Guillot was given the authority to cut through the red tape and coordinate counter drone efforts across multiple government agencies. He says new, more sensitive radar systems are being installed at strategic bases, and NORTHCOM is developing what it calls fly-away kits with the latest anti-drone technology – to be delivered to bases besieged by drones.
Gen. Glen VanHerck (retired): I think it's because there's a perception that this is fortress America: two oceans on the east and west, with friendly nations north and south, and nobody's gonna attack our homeland. It's time we move beyond that assumption.
