A startling map of just one New Jersey county captures the scope of the drone mystery that’s been plaguing the Garden State’s skies for weeks.
Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden released a heatmap of reported drone sightings from just the past few days alone — covering a chunk of the central Jersey county’s nearly 700 square miles.
Brighter spots on the map denote more reporting, with the inland area around Whittier Oaks, the northern coast along the Sandy Hook Bay, and the southeastern coast off Manasquan Beach showing the highest incidents. Central Monmouth, around Freehold, also has a higher number of reports.
The problem has become so prevalent that Golden requested a state of emergency be declared so that drastic measures can be taken to address the phenomenon.
“Residents are increasingly alarmed by the surge in drone activity after dark, raising concerns about public safety and security,” Golden said.
“We cannot wait any longer. The Governor must act now, and the Air National Guard needs to step in to protect our communities.”
The alarming map shows just one county.
Across New Jersey, there have been at least 3,000 reports of drone sightings since they first were spotted around Nov. 18, according to NJ.com.

“If McGuire Air Force Base isn’t worried about the drones neither should we.”
Exactly, If Trump didn’t holler like hell when they flew over his Golf Course then we have nothing to worry about. He has been briefed and he knows what’s up. If it was nefarious he would have been the first to raise hell about it.
You’re hired, cv! Lol

Right over Asbury Park. Drone fans of Springsteen?

What’s this we $#!+, FINF?
Any chance you’re being unreasonably sanguine?
As has been said elsewhere: Oh, yes...the people of New Jersey have never seen “jets”. /s
Mothership location has been isolated... near Langley, Virginia
See the meme. Check out the comments.
Thousands and thousands of sighting!
Yep. And the movie version with Tom Cruise starts in Bayonne, NJ.
Ok. But everyone does realize how many drones are being sold this year right? Millions of them.
Is there some nefarious situation emerging? Possibly, drones are proving themselves as effective weapons in Ukraine. They are a security threat for sure. That said, just a ‘drone sighting’ means what?
I don’t know how much of the story is real and how much is exaggeration.
But, just for the record, sightings also have been reported and/or confirmed by military officials and police:
“Picatinny Arsenal, the Army facility in Morris County, has had 11 confirmed sightings of unauthorized drones flying over in its airspace in recent weeks, military officials said.”

“Naval Weapons Station Earle, a military base in Colts Neck in Monmouth County, has had two reports of drones in its airspace, facility spokesman William Addison said Thursday.”

“U.S. Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) said Tuesday night that he was briefed by a U.S. Coast Guard commanding officer stationed in Ocean County about an incident last weekend during which a drone swarm pursued a vessel while out on patrol.”
“An Ocean County Sheriff’s Department officer told Smith he observed ‘over 50’ drones approaching the beach from the ocean on Monday night.”

Adding to post #52:
NJ State Rep Brian Bergen:
“The Colonel of the State Police told the members of the state legislature that one of his helicopters was hovering above a six-foot-wide drone, and he landed that helicopter because he felt it was unsafe for his pilots.”

How about Biden’s Commies setting up a terror strike to stop the inauguration of Donald Trump?
They claim they know nothing and besides it isn’t a threat anyway. At least that’s what they’ll say until they need to incite panic and declare a national emergency and martial law preventing the transfer of government to Trump’s team.
They’re up to something. They’re not going to allow a peaceful transfer of power without a fight.
They’ve also been spotted flying over our military installations in Great Britain.
“They’re up to something. They’re not going to allow a peaceful transfer of power without a fight.”
I tend to agree. And it might explain that “s-eating” grin on OBiden’s face when he met with Trump in the WH recently.

You are discounting all of the dumb people out there, and all of the egomaniacs who just like to hear themselves talk. Once real people deal with real events, there is always another phase where all the yahoos spout off. We have moved into that phase.
The drones are real, the government knows what they are, and they are lying to us. That said, we had people mostly spotting drones. Now we have that plus a bunch of yahoos reporting every plane and tower light as a drone.
Don’t shoot me. I am just the messenger. These yahoos don’t mean that the drones aren’t real.
If the yahoos you speak of exist, they are far outnumbered in NJ by ordinary intelligent citizens so pissed off that they are ready to slug the next greedy, card-carrying, lying, gaslighting, boneheaded federal, state, county or even local government bureaucrat they meet in public square in the solar plexus for being total idiots for wasting our precious time and tax money.
