    Default New Jersey Drone Sightings

    Pretty weird the way the Government has little to say about the mass sightings of drones coming in from offshore. Witness's say some are the size of a bus and others are very noisy. Some Capitol Hill officials are asking questions too.

    Could be a hoax and a hoodwink, but any serious drone could be modified to have the same capability that the Ukrainians use so well to drop "things". They would make a great target though!

    There has been many documented incidents of China doing this crap for several years, occasionally even red handed (a Karen calling in a Chinese guy near Norfolk naval yard comes to mind). It's always a Chinese student, with a commercial drone, and quasi-plausible deniability. These are new. Then again, we had all the drones in eastern Colorado not that long ago (but maybe that was a DARPA project or something).

    A problem we have, of sorts, is that drones are not yet considered as per se threats. Ordinarily the US Gov can't proactively destroy them on sight around sensitive areas unless they do something that is "threatening", or could potentially threatening to e.g. aviation.

    There are only two options.

    The US Gov is so incredibly inept they really don't know. Which is not good because it means our national defense is a joke.

    Or, they know exactly what it is, don't want us to know and are lying about it. Which is also not good because it means they have a reason to hide it.

    I really doubt it's foreign. My guess is that the gear is possessed by some national asset with dashed line reporting and no flag (o7 or up, DoD clerks) oversight.

    At least they are not testing nuclear weapons in the desert anymore. I cringe when I see they have troops watching the blast.It was probably Santa Claus trying out his new weapons. DARPA is Chris Kringles main supplier. They have the coolest toys. These were not alien craft, aliens will scare the F out of you!

    Wasn't long ago that mysterious drones were being seen/reported all over the eastern plains of Colo, and the. Poof, no more and no one ever took responsibility for them.
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    Default its a secret

    There used to be a object that identified itself as a "Dehavilland Mosquito" and would fly around Fort Carson. It flew more like a helicopter than a World War II wooden aircraft. I figured it belonged to the military. I have never seen a military drone in real life.

    I would watch it here https://globe.adsbexchange.com/
