To be fair, research is a very vague answer. Research into what? Why do it secretly? At night? In a very populated area?

Would love to know the rest of the story.

Same here. Obviously classified.

This is a guess, could it be that they conducted these tests at night because that's the only way to see if they could control the lights and that's the only time you would have them on? I heard that at some places the lights were going haywire. JMHO

Well, I assume they were only flying at night for a reason.

Another theory of mine: could it also be that at night you cannot see what these drones actually look like. Did anyone ever get a good picture of one? No. Only faded ones like the ones people take of UFOs.

One possibility is sigint drones. Can’t test them at Groom Lake or AUTEC range forever because there isn’t an RF noise floor to test against.
