NJ - Mystery drones seen nightly

Doesn't anybody in NJ have a good quality camera or telescope to be able to take an actually-discernable photo of these things?

We need to airlift some high quality photography equipment right now!
Good point. It's starting to feel like how every photo of Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster is such poor quality.
 
Retired CIA Intelligence Officer Rudy Ridolfi told DailyMail.com: 'This FAA notice shows US drone testing is happening in the area.'
But Matt Sloane, founder of drone consulting firm AI Skyfire, told DailyMail.com that the sightings could be 'a contractor developing these drones for DoD [the Department of Defense].'; it's a warning for others to stay out of the area during those dates.


Obv. take with the proverbial grain, considering the source.
Food for thought.
It'd be nice if both parties (Ridolfi & Sloane) were quoted by other msm and not just the DM.
But if so, and this is military testing for our protection in the U.S., why not just let the public know ?
Secrecy helps the situation not at all, imo.
Omo.
 
Friday's airport shutdown prompted New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to call for federal assistance. She said Sunday that the drone detection system isn't enough.

Wonder if E. Musk will answer Tate --that's if EM knows what's going on ??

If Gov. Hochul doesn't know where the drones are coming from, or whom is controlling them -- I'm not sure Musk would know, either ?
Omo.
It's a trick question for him and he has satellites.
 

After the classified briefing, Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the panel, said the drones are not being used “unlawfully” or by individuals “with malign intent.”

"We were assured, and we asked this question over and over and over again. They are not federal government operations to sniff radiation, gas recovery, anything else," referring to a series of conspiracy theories about what was prompting the reported drone sightings.

IMO, that’s as good a confirmation as any that these our our defense contractors.
 
During the day you see something flying by and it’s wow a great big drone look at that.

At night it’s like what’s that noise, what is that, it’s so low, that’s not plane lights, Aliens!

As much as I love a mystery, imo, these are commercial interests already heavily invested in utilizing drones and with no appetite for regulations and Musk in charge we can look for drones flying at night low over our homes to become common place, imo.

I’ll be telling my grandchildren Mamaw saw her first big one back when you could enjoy a quiet evening looking at the sky without seeing drones chugging and zipping everywhere.



all imo

"I believe they’re spy drones and the PRC, and Communist China is very good at this stuff. We know they bought land around military bases. This would be very consistent with their policy over the past couple years," the congressman added."
Sadly, that would explain DHS Secretary Mayorkas' statement...but I'd love to be wrong about that. jmo

As theories spread over the origin and purpose of drones flying over New Jersey and the eastern U.S., lawmakers say new rules for monitoring drones are needed.

I'm curious if Mayorkas knows anything more than we do ?
Also, doubtful Elon Musk is behind this, as he is not, 'in charge' .
So is it foreign or just the Dept. of Defense maneuvers ?
It'd be nice if the current admin could clarify; if they know what's going on with the drones.
Omo.

Bbm.
That may be the only thing we'll ever be told concerning the drones !

Guess we should start accepting it and go on our merry way ?
The problem is that people don't seem to be accepting that explanation.
Too nosy, or just less trusting ? Idk.

Your comment (which I know was in jest) that we should accept it and go on our merry way made me think of the OLD movie Soylent Green.
