NJ - Mystery drones seen nightly

  • #161
The disclosure of military drones looking for a nuclear bomb would cause much greater panic and worry than just unexplained drones...

It's been suggested those are high population areas, so if this was a defensive maneuvers drill of some kind, it applies to that. jmo
High population density, important cities to our nation's economy, military bases, east coast and accessible from the ocean

My question is why only at night? Are they flying during the day?

NJ Senator Andy Kim stated:

Kim said that police officers told him they see drones every night, but that when they approach with helicopters, “the drones would turn off the lights and go dark if approached.”



@AndyKimNJ

Last night I went out with local police to spot drone flying over New Jersey, here’s what I saw. We drove to Round Valley Reservoir and the officer pointed to lights moving low over the tree line. Sometimes they were solid white light, others flashed of red and green.THREAD

Is it this one:

"HILLSBOROUGH — Reports of a drone crashing near power lines Thursday night turned out to be nothing, according to police....
Rumors of drone crashes are regularly posted on social media but none have been found.

Yes, turned out to be a big nothing burger. I'm starting to think they might be US drones.

At the 3:00 minute mark, there is the best image of a NJ drone I've seen:

“Drones were spotted flying over the U.S. air base at Ramstein in Germany in early December, a spokesperson for the U.S. Air Force said on Friday.”


It’s weird to me that if they were our drones, that our government would be announcing sightings in places I haven’t seen citizen reports. Could this be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing? IMO MOO signing off for the night!

Edit: sike, one last thing… will delete if not an approved source

'Dec 13 2024
Unidentified aircraft flying only hundreds of feet from the ground have appeared in the skies over New Jersey in recent weeks. Experts who have seen the reported “drone” footage of these aircrafts categorize it into two buckets: quadcopter and fixed-winged aircraft. The unidentified aircrafts have flown over WSJ tech columnist’s Joanna Stern’s neighborhood. She takes a closer look from the ground in the Garden State.'

Former FBI supervisory special agent Tom Adams, who helped pioneer the FBI's counter-drone program, explains what he thinks is behind the mysterious drone sightings in the New York City metropolitan area.'

I'm wondering if someone has infiltrated a US military base and planted a bomb-- hence the high-tech "search party". jmo
ETA: Apologies if this has already been suggested and I missed it.

Me & my family saw several of these drones tonight in Philadelphia. We are right across the bridge from NJ. My husband was able to get a few videos of them. As 1 would pass by, another one soon followed. If was like as if they were circling the neighborhood. They were big too. Flashing red & white lights. At times it was all white lights, when it came to a stop. Lots of traffic in the philly skies tonight.

I also can’t believe that this issue wasn’t addressed after the issue with the Chinese spy balloon - which, IMO you are spot-on linking together). They should have anticipated that something like that could/would happen again and a response protocol should have been created. If this had been done - AND IT SHOULD HAVE!! - we wouldn’t be here and now scratching our heads trying to figure what should be done, when, who authorizes action, etc

Sorry (sort-of) if I sound a little frustrated, angry, etc but I LIVE here. I personally have not seen anything (but I also haven’t been looking) but I know (and believe) what I am hearing from people I know personally. Also, my daughter has a farm with 12+ horses in Evesham and security video (I think) from a night within the last week or two showed “drone-like” activity over the pastures and the horses reacting to the activity. Some horses didn’t seem to notice, others stopped grazing and stared skyward and a few actually panicked and started running around. Fortunately none of them got hurt!

My personal opinion? SHOOT ONE OR MORE DOWN!! Do so over as open of land as possible in order to reduce the risk of injury/death to life (human, animal, etc) as well as property damage. Then it can be investigated - by government AND independent specialists. Why do we continue to sit here and wait while potentially sensitive information could be being collected by God knows who and why? And why do we believe a Governor who says they (the drones) pose NO RISK TO THE PUBLIC?

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE, WHO SENT/IS CONTROLLING THEM AND WHY - THEN HOW & WHY SHOULD/WOULD WE BELIEVE YOU THAT THERE IS NO RISK?!!
It's a Federal crime to shoot at any kind of flying vehicle, manned or not.

why would they not want to shoot them down? remember the Chinese spy balloon?

I understand that this is the current law, which is why I said this issue should have been addressed and a response protocol created after the Chinese balloon situation in the event of a similar situation occurring in the future.

Moo … We’ve experienced large drones in SW VA since the summer. Many reports to the FAA have gone unanswered, local media was not interested, nor believed even video until recently. Drones have been spotted over Virginia Tech campus and a Government ammunition facility in Radford Virginia, this week.
WSLS FB sought video and sights from locals.


From the video John Carin,with WSLS and a drone owners states …Virginia Tech has drones capable of carrying a human.

Also, restricted areas, airports, miltary facilities have a geofence preventing drones from entering.

Moo..

I saw a big square one last night! South, inland.

It wasn’t far from an good sized airport and we are in the path of military flight exercises, the hospital has a helicopter, there’s a small airport with a lot of kit planes always chugging around and crashing.

No mistaking the jets or helicopter, kit planes even gliders still look like planes.

I heard it first and thought it was one of the noisy little planes that seem to barely sputter along then as it got closer it was quite low and right over my head I could see it was a square not a small plane shape.

It was well lit and not being evading in any way just going about it’s business in a very populated area.

They could have been around all along I guess but now with all the talk I noticed it wasn’t just a little personal plane as I would have assumed in the past.

I was by myself washing some sleeping bags at the laundry mat at about 10.

Beautiful, warm, clear night with a bright full moon I was just enjoying the evening outside when I heard it coming.

There was a stranger in the laundry mat I was going to tell but it was already past and I felt like I would sound like I just saw Bigfoot.


All imo

Informative article; however, others may not agree. ;)
