Was listening to a radio show, said there was an Ultra-Light off the coast of Jersey that was taken down by the local Police this past weekend (6/25-6/27).
Is all hear-say from a 'source' from the local PD. Also of course they said the person in the Glider was of Mid-Eastern Desent.
Not sure if I'm posting this in the correct area, so sorry if I'm not.
Just thought anyone in the Jersey area might have of heard of such a thing happening?
By "taken down," what do you mean, exactly?
Where did you hear it? Which local radio talk show? Which police department?
Nope Not A Thing, What Radio Show?
I was sitting air defense alert in New Jersey during that time period. If it happened, nobody told us. And I don't think the Police Departments have any capability to "take something down" off the coast. Even a hang glider.

Was your radio tuned to the WMOS, The Moose?
The staties, NYPD, and a few others probably have helicopters and/or light planes enough to force down an ultralight. None of those things could come close to outrunning a helicopter.
You would be surprised how many planes are owned by state and city governments.
Not to say anything like this actually happened.
Now you guys don't off running screaming, but heard it on the Q Files tonight.
And that is about all I know about it, that the flyer was taken down.

This is now in the Chat forum?
Dam newbie that I am, didn't even know there was a chat area.
And no, was off the New Jersey Coast.
