> Nobody at the DoD seems to know who the aircraft belongs to or what exactly it is doing flying so many missions over the Seattle area.

No. They know they just aren't disclosing it.

Put a drone up next to it and you will find out real fast who it belongs to.

No. That simply results in a TCAS warning and a couple of irritated pilots.

No one is tracking a small drone on radar. There will be no TCAS warnings.

You think the DoD would stand by and do nothing while a completed unidentified military surveillance plane circled a major city for days? Whatever this thing is doing, it's cleared at a high level. Maybe the people answering the phones for journalists don't know.

Not to mention that the last few days the Navy's been conducting an air show.

It was supposed to be a joke; of course I don't expect that. By definition, if it is undisclosed, then there is no source.
