"Orange Jacket Guy" meme. A man in an orange jacket is shown reacting to a theme in two frames, stacked one above the other. In the top frame, he is rejecting the associated theme, while in the bottom he is agreeing with frame's theme. The top theme, being rejected, is "ALIENS." The bottom theme, being accepted and agreed with, is "SECRET GOVERNMENT DRONES." The meme is a commentary on the absurdity of the current panic over conspiracy theories around "drone" sightings in the eastern United States (most of which are not "drones"; on at least one occasion former Maryland governor Larry Hogan misidentified the constellation Orion as a set of drones. To be clear, dude was looking at stars). The comparison is to similar conspiracy theories involving extraterrestrials and UFOs.
