Orrery restored this market from Polymarket's closed-market records. Treat the numbers below as last-known market context, then verify the resolution source before citing the outcome.
Canonical status
confidence: mediumSource status (Polymarket)
Derived status (Orrery)
Reason
Upstream marked the market closed/settled with YES price dominant.
The derived status is computed from the source flags plus the live YES price, so a market trading near a rail can read as PRICE-PINNED while upstream is still active. That isn't the same as resolved.

Market Description
Over the last week several large unidentified flying objects have been recorded flying over New Jersey and New York. It has been broadly reported that they are drones: (https://x.com/rawsalerts/status/1867398877067854160) This market will resolve to "Yes" if US President Joe Biden issues a public statement regarding these "mystery drones" between December 16, 2024, 11:00 AM ET and December 20, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, a public statement includes any social media post (e.g. via https://x.com/potus) or public statements (e.g. a comment to the press, a speech given at an event). Qualifying statements must be issued directly by Biden or his social media accounts. Statements made by the White House or other members of his administration will not count. The primary resolution source will be the qualifying statement itself, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
