Exactly. The military isn't obligated to look at every single picture and tell you that it's not a drone. But if they don't do that, they can't say "we have looked at every single picture and confirmed there are no suspicious drones".

The military is rightly refusing to prove a negative.

Unfortunately, a lot of camera hogs and attention seekers are playing up the "Well but maybe it was aliens who can truly say? I just think its weird and our department needs another billion dollars to investigate" angle in front of Congress. Then they do the podcast/C-list national news circuit and whisper "It's definitely aliens" into the mic for the most gullible of the rubes.
