Congressman questions why FAA officials have not debunked conspiracy theories

If it is indeed the federal government behind the drones (for whatever reason), and they  really thought no one would notice, I hate to break it to them, but that was a "fail". js
ETA: They need to get the model with a cloaking device....

But 'telling the American people' would be essentially telling the world. The fact that they exist isn't a secret, but what exactly they're up to obviously is (and apparently a big one). As maddening as the situation is, it does make some sense. jmo

Right-- but they don't have to tell us what they are up to or what they are "testing" or using them for.
For crying out loud.. just tell the US citizens they are our own military.
WE dont need to know what they are doing with them, just acknowledge we own them.

Good point. I wonder if they'll just disappear from the sky, while everyone's scrambling for answers, leaving just the "regular Joes" up there (and we'll never look at the night sky the same way again).

So agree with you, Brightchaser47,

They may all just disappear. They did what they had to do.

Here's my Most Imaginative, Most Benign, and least terrifying theory of all (Pure Speculation. MOO):

a) Fact: Tri-State area (NY, NJ, CT) has had drought conditions, spanning Oct., Nov. and Dec. 2024

b) Fact: Governor Hochul (NYS) announced absolutely NO FIREWORKS, for New Year's Eve because of the drought conditions: It would be ....Too dangerous, and increase the risk of setting off new brush fires.

NYC fireworks canceled for New Year's Eve following historic drought

New York City skies will be a little less bright this New Year’s Eve. An historic drought and record brush fire period in November led the city to pull all fireworks permits for New Year’s Eve. That means the annual tradition of sending off fireworks over Central Park and Prospect Park will be...

c) A "top secret" light show is planned for New Years Eve. But, INSTEAD of fireworks, it will be a Drone Show much like the Legend of Dragon Gate Singapore Light Show, Feb. 2024. (You can read about it here and you can also view the event as it occurred, on Youtube (easily searchable); It was quite spectacular. ) Where to Watch Marina Bay Dragon Drone Show | Eggy Toast Life

d) Conclusion: There are gigantic cargo ships off the coast of Monmouth County, (as there always are), in the Atlantic Ocean. And every night one or two of these cargo ships are sending out these drones by the hundreds to "PRACTICE" for a *****top secret****** absolutely spectacular light show which will occur in or near NY Harbor, Dec. 31st, 2024. To "warm up" for their practice 10 miles off shore, they sometimes wizz around over dry land to make sure their complicated machinery is working correctly.

The only HUGE problem was that the Drone Light show organizers didn't communicate to the authorities that this would be happening. So we have the citizenry now on edge.

And even though the ban on fireworks was recently lifted. ......
Contracts were signed! Money was exchanged! Security was hired, so, They still need to "practice".

The show must go on!

LOL.

(moo.)
e.t.a verb agreement.

Nope. It's Aliens! Bwaha ha ha

Muse, you may just be on to something here! Do we know the size of the light show drones vs those being spotted?

 

[Curiousobserver]

Personally I am highly skeptical.

I am waiting for one clear video or picture that is undeniably a drone or swarm of drones.

There are more than 100 registered airfields in NJ and between NY and NJ one of the highest volume air traffic corridors in the world. Combine this with people who are being constantly bombarded with frightening messages from the "news" and the very real Chinese spy balloon incident earlier that reinforces those fears...

HAH!

Drone light shows typically involve,
"Medium sized drones, no bigger than 50 cm's which is about 20 inches or a FOOT and a half across."

That's too small. Some people in NJ are reporting that the drones flying by their homes are six feet across!!!!

WTF?

(moo)

So maybe the little ones are for the light show and the big ones are Elon's new PFEV (Personal Flying Electric Vehicle)-- not sold in any store, but they're working out the bugs in time for the Christmas rush.
(I know I want one!)

Yikes, the FAA will have to recruit and train a whole new fleet of air traffic controllers.

Ain't buying this. The governor of NY would be aware. Why would they be practicing at an airport in NY causing a total shutdown?

Nope, I'm convinced...they looking for something or someone. The maps show specific areas, not statewide.

Drones have been spotted in 8 NJ counties. See which towns on our interactive map

Drones in New Jersey have purportedly been spotted in Sussex, Passaic, Morris, Bergen, Essex, Warren, Hunterdon and Somerset counties.

Beautiful light show. I look forward to watching this New Years Eve. (Disney also has a phenomenal light show.)

And spoil the surprise? js

 

[Simply Southern]

They know, why pretend they don't.
The FAA has the ability to ID the drones per their website. All large drones must be registered with the FAA and large drones being seen.

https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id

Remote Identification of Drones
Remote identification (Remote ID) is here. Are you ready?

Drones are fundamentally changing aviation, and the FAA is committed to working towards fully integrating drones into the National Airspace System (NAS). All drone pilots who are required to register or have registered their drone must operate in accordance with the rule on Remote ID. Safety and security are top priorities for the FAA and Remote ID for drones is crucial to our integration efforts.

What is it? Remote ID is the ability of a drone in flight to provide identification and location information that can be received by other parties through a broadcast signal. Watch the video.

I'm not sure which bothers me more-- that most of those totes are still unaccounted for, or that they've stopped looking for them...
