Mysterious Drones in Skies Above New Jersey

I'm thinking how the Japanese honey bee defends against the giant hornet. They ignore it until the time is right, then somehow simultaneously attack by enveloping it en masse, until it dies by temperature rise.

So drone swarms presently are a demonstrated thing. So there's drones flying about, all illuminated in typical drone fashion. Probably just kids playing with their thousand dollar toys. Cant get anything rational or reasonable explanation wise from the authorities. In time, everybody just gets used to it; "yeah, they're up there every night everywhere - what of it?" Then, when the time is right, maybe during some big peaceful protest in the streets some authority would like to quell...
 
Most likely reconnaissance drones operated by an unfriendly third party, most likely, but not necessarily foreign. Apparently they are fast.

Wonder how long it will be before the USAF intercepts one.

A guy over here was flying his new 8000$ thing over a duck hunter in the lake. Yes, the duck hunter popped it out of the sky. All hell broke loose. He felt threatened.

This is nothing new. In WWII the Germans sent homing pigeons covered in candles over the English Channel to London as a decoy. Meanwhile, the Luftwaffe's stealth ravens, unlit, flew in undetected to take over the Tower of London in an act of espionage. They are still there to this day.
 
They are often seen at Night. Because drones loaded with LEDS are more exciting and mysterious at night.
In the day they are just plastic thingies easily identified as drones.

The real question is. Is it really rich hobbyists making very nice drone displays.
Or is it a funded hoax like many others supported by " people" with more money.
Looking to pass more " security" laws
Or whatever agenda is behind it.
We wont know until " new security measures " are used or whatever real world rational thing happens.
Real Rational things, usually laws and mandates = justified by fake aliens.

Other than that if you had trillions of dollars to travel at the speed of light to another planet just like earth.
Im sure you would do the exact same thing the " Alien's" are doing here.
Spend trillions of dollars and tons of energy to fly in circles with your lights on. Then go under water then back to the sky
then under water. You know amazing things that are useless but very very expensive.

Hobby grade drones are restricted to only certain radio frequencies. And many times people have tried to fly drones
closer to the other drones. To find they are non operable. AKA Jam
So no hobbyist likely aren't making jammers and extremely legal if so. And if these were real aliens or real illegal jammers.
The " authorities" would have easily found their location. Im sure you think this must be reason for real aliens
No, but it is bullcrap, and is is being funded by people that can afford it.
 
The proximity to the airspaces of concern (Newark Liberty, JFK, and LaGuardia) plus Fort Dix would probably make this a priority for the authorities.

You can’t shoot down a 30-50 kg item over people and neighborhoods however I am pretty sure that this is being watched. The DOD ain’t stupid and don’t publicly say everything.

As for “people with security clearances…”; that’s rubbish and typical of talking heads on some news channels. Clearances mean absolutely nothing if you don’t have a “need to know “
 
He felt threatened.
I witnessed a fellow on a fishing boat's colorful opinion on being overflown by a drone being operated from the shoreline. He didnt exactly like it either.
Clearances mean absolutely nothing if you don’t have a “need to know “.
Apparently that has even extended to US presidents, regarding the existence, reverse engineering of and use of "alien technology". Or, that could be "just something I read"... In any event, we'll never know.
 
And so far the " Need to know" information is extremely public and will be on constant repeat.
Not really much of a secret is it.

They upgraded since the 50's they have color lights now. That magical blink mysteriously like every single generic
RGB light controller lol.
Again if you were a Alien from another planet you would likely actually try and communicate.
They arent gonna try and fake that, then it would be obvious.
Judging by the news coverage , networks and regions it is getting pushed in.
Its pretty obvious udder nonsense. stay tuned for more...from the fake news warning you about fake news.
Aliens magically fly in airport airspace and nothing magically happens.
If it were " real" it would be a completely different story.
I think toilet paper will be effected again lol. run run run to the store and buy toilet paper.
All the corporate restaurants will magically be open lol and private ones shut down. lol
Fake reasons to make real things happen.

DoD comment.... pfft....

Clearances... you only get a clearance when you have a need to know.

At least in the US.
 
The drone story has really expanded in the last day or so. Up until yesterday it was mostly Fox and CNN that were covering it. Now all the networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, are carrying major stories about it.

There are far too many instances to believe that this is the work of just a few people. And that is what is so disconcerting about it. These instances are widespread over the Northeast and the West Coast.

There have to be answers somewhere and people aren't going to let this go until those answers are found.

Are you sure Tony? That doesn't seem to make sense. In my working life I had high level government security clearance, but that didn't mean I was provided with every piece of intelligence available to persons with that level of clearance. I was only provided with the information I needed to know to carry out my role. For example, the 'Top Secret' security clearance allowed one to access information that 'may have an impact on national security', but you did not get access to all information of that classification.
 
In the US, in order to get the clearance you have to specify the program and the need to know. So, you get the clearance AND the "need to know" add on.

In some companies, you may keep the clearance as you move from program to program. Even though you might not have/need access to the actual materials, you still need the clearance to access the working areas because classified programs are done in there.

But to get it to begin with, and maintain it, you still need access to the program (need to know) and cleared facilities.

AND, naturally, you don't get ALL the classified material for the program... For example, you may need access to radio comms but not crypto.

Same thing with EBI.

Personally, I never cared for working with "need to know"... it's a royal PITA to do work.
 
Lots of drone sighting reports on the Internet now and many of them sound rather vague and iffy.

But this one sounds to me at least like the person is very credible. And if so, it represents a rather alarming incident.

Ha ha, it was on our TV news today!
 
I spent my youth fishing The Tubes at Jervis Bay. It is in the RAAF bombing range in the middle of nowhere on the south coast. I have seen things that are pretty crazy. The worst was a collection of lights in concentric ring formation that split up and shot up, followed by a sheet of cloud racing in with gale force winds. A boat got capsized, and a dad died together with his two sons. I would have been a goner too if I hadn't dumped all the gear and raced back up the cliff as not long after, massive waves started smashing the cliffs. Saw a single daytime object two days later. It was a silver disc that also pulled a solid sheet of cloud up from the horizon and another windstorm. Saw many cases of lights dropping to the ocean but hovering over the surface then darting towards the shore and disappearing

That was 35yrs ago, I know enough about drones and RC to replicate some of the lights that I saw, but those affected the conditions

The current happenings sound more like someone stirring things up. Prolly YT'ers like Peter Seripol and rcstestflight being cheeky
 
What seems most puzzling is the U.S. government's reaction to these reports. Which, have been to claim total ignorance while simultaneously not displaying much interest over an issue causing concern among the public. The U.S. annual defense budget is approaching a trillion dollars per year, yet, we’re to believe that none of these craft haven been downed, or otherwise identified? All while national security authorities, essentially, take a, ‘nothing to see here attitude’? Something doesn’t smell right.

Hard to say, but I have difficulty imagining why the US government would conduct secret drone tests (secret, in the respect that they’ve denied any involvement) which are designed to be so attention getting, and ultimately, damaging to public relations and trust.
