It is starting to look like that is the most likely explanation. Why did the aliens decide to land in New Jersey? No place to park your flying saucer in Manhattan?

Yeah. If they were spy drones they wouldn’t bother using marker and runway lights. The video fron Jersey looks like a slow moving cargo plane landing.

Okay, so... You're a foreign enemy and you want to surveil your adversaries territory using drones, right? Then why in the heck wouldn't they have disabled the lights that are all over these drones? Do they want to scream, ‘Hey, here we are and we're surveying your stuff’? That just doesn't make sense to me. The lights on them are pretty easy to disable, you know? And if you were really trying to spy, you'd want to sneak around in the dark, wouldn't you?

The odds are that the military knows all about these drones.

Given that drones have been surveilling various military installations in New Jersey, including Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Station Earle, the military would be grossly negligent if it failed to determine their origin, even if, as reported, the drones turn off their lights when departing from New Jersey and heading east out to sea.

A basic helicopter equipped with a Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera could easily detect and track their heat signatures. Even most police helicopters are equipped with FLIR.

You raise an interesting point.

Given that they are announcing there presence, it would appear that they have goals other than just surveillance (if surveillance is a goal).

They are terrorizing the people of NJ and insulting the government as if to say, "Your airspace isn't secure (even around military installations) and you are too incompetent to fix it."

As an aside, the police chief in one of the towns affected said the other day that his officers saw them spraying substances from the air (the way an agricultural drone might). If accurate, that screams, "Wuhan."

How did they get here and who’s flying them?

The balloon caper worked so well, they follow up with drones.

I heard a “DOD spokes” today on Fox, saying the drones are not from a foreign govt. She didn’t say “no evidence,” but flat out said they are not. Apparently this woman has figured out how to prove a negative. Or if she hasn’t, they do know exactly where the drones are from.

“ The odds are that the military knows all about these drones.”

I would think so too.

People keep asking why they have FAA navigation lights. That’s easy FAA navigation lights lights are actually International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) lights and ever military or civilian aircraft drones included have them so they can be flown with other aircraft in the airspace under VFR conditions. EVER.SINGLE.ONE full stop. Yes Iranian drones have ICAO lights on them so do Chinese and Russian too. They would have them on when the drone leaves their airbase so their own pilots don’t hit them it’s that simple. The fact that they come form out at sea with the lights turned on once they are near land and then when they leave they turn them off is telling you they are 1. Sending a message as they want you to see them and 2. They do not want to have a passenger jet hit one and bring down a plane full of people . That’s bad optics for sure. The message is you are powerless to stop our drone flights unless you start raining ordinance and debris down over your residential areas. These are not hobby drones they are jet fuel or gasoline filled and half the size of the predator drone bring one down and hundreds if gallons of fuel come down with it all on fire that’s a bad thing over homes and businesses. Shoot what a stinger at it same outcome. Worse shoot a sidewinder or AMRAM at it now you have flaming solid rocket fuel at close range and shrapnel fdon’t be warhead and all the metal structure raining down. Anyone who has been in a war zone and been under mortar or arty fire even with CIWS knows how much debris rains down causing fires and damages all over the AO. Doing that over an American city is lunacy and only arm chair commandos pound keyboards for it. If you haven’t splashed them over water you are not going to once they are feet dry. The issue over water is expending a million plus dollar missile for a sub $60,000 drone is also a losing battle. 20/25mm cannon fire is ok over water but the F35 carries 180 rounds of 25 mm it’s a joke put on only to satisfy a requirement to not be missiles only. F2f has 480 rounds of 20 mm they might splash one or two with that. That’s 4.8 seconds of fire o. The F22 and the F35 has just one second of actually less it’s 4 barrel cannon shoots 3600 rounds a min just the spool up and down would empty those 180 in a second. Like I said the F35 cannon is a contractors joke.

Good info. Thx.

Given that these drones give off a lot of heat, they would be very easy to follow back to their point of origin with a FLIR-equipped helicopter. The FBI, the NJ State Police, the NJ National Guard, many local police departments, the military, and Homeland Security all have access to such equipment.

It would appear that either these “authorities” know the point of origin of these drones, OR all these “authorities” have been told to stand down.

It is time to shoot one down and prove it—whatever they are.

The Federal government has proven itself either useless or up to no good.

Some local authorities with some courage are going to need to shoot some down.

It is time to end the talk talk talk and get some action.

Yep. Or both (useless and up to no good).

Same reason that if you were a muzzy terrorist surveilling a skyscraper in NYC you’re not going to walk around in a turban yelling aloha snack bar. You’re going to try to blend in. You see nav lights and maybe think, oh, it’s an Amazon delivery or a private Cessna off course.
