Pentagon officials hold classified briefing on UAPs with Congress amid NJ sightings

On Friday morning, Pentagon officials held a classified briefing with the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill reportedly to discuss the unidentified objects flying over military sites and President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in central New Jersey.

Nearly every night for the past few weeks, New Jersey residents have spotted mysterious objects flying at night and recorded them on video. Some find the size alarming reporting they're seeing objects the size of a small car.

Officials are concerned because the objects are flying over a military installation, the Picatinny Arsenal, and over Trump's Bedminster Golf Club.

In response, the FAA added new restricted airspace. The FBI is also now investigating. Some simply call the objects "drones" but officials admit they can’t say for sure what the flying objects are.

In a statement, New Jersey Police Chief Joseph Orlando with the Florham Park Police Department, said “their presence appears nefarious in nature.”

...

Following that hearing, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters, "To date, the Department has discovered no verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial beings, activity or technology."

Since they seem to be flying with regularity, why can’t the military post spotters in the surrounding areas to follow them to their launch sites?

I think these look like drones. Some folks will dismiss every sighting as just an airplane, but check out the turn this one makes. A drone could rotate like that, but a plane would need to bank and would take a longer arc.

The one at 57 minutes is clearly a fixed-wing aircraft.

Are these thing’s following a map loaded into their brain or is someone remotely controlling them? If the latter why can’t the controller signals be located?

Could be Trump’s private security drones checking out his golf club.

What a ridiculous post. The lighting is clearly conforming to FAA regulations. Do you require naming of every airliner on final night approach to an airport? I live seven miles from Philadelphia International Airport. Aircraft fly directly over my house on a regular basis on their way to runways 9L and 9R. Should I challenge you to come over tonight and name every aircraft to pass overhead? I guarantee you a view of dozens.

The aircraft clearly has a red light on the port wing and a green one on the starboard wing, and appropriate aft lighting per FAA regulations.

I found this on Facebook:

Jersey Coast Emergency News (Facebook page)
21h ·
Picatinny Arsenal is a research and development lab in Morris County, NJ. They have scientists on staff and do top secret research. The drones you see in the sky aren’t coming from foreign countries. They are flying over critical infrastructure. By now they would have been followed, and or shot down. They can’t fly forever. They need some source of power. So eventually they need to land.

Viewers in Morris County have told me that the drones have surrounded the arsenal over the last few days, at altitudes way lower than what we are seeing them.

After the success of drones in Ukraine it’s only reasonable to develop and research the technology.
You will not know the truth in our lifetime or until it’s declassified.

You might ask….Why does the FBI want information? That’s because they don’t get debriefed on military operations. They are left out of the loop. They know just as much as we do.

The arsenal is a military research and manufacturing facility located on 6,400 acres. They are the headquarters of the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center. It is known for developing the ubiquitous Picatinny rail, as well as being the Army’s center of expertise for small arms cartridge ammunition. They are the first depot to develop gunpowder and continued to develop it after WWI.

After the war they began producing heavy munitions and grew more involved in research and development activities. During World War II Picatinny was a major large-caliber-round loading plant with 18,000 employees. Today, the facility develops new technologies for the US Armed Forces and builds various munitions, weapons and armor systems.

Picatinny Arsenal is also home to the US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Directorate. This group is responsible for the creation of tools, equipment, and procedures for US Army EOD personnel. Some of their more recent inventions were the use of weapons on a robot platform and the SWORDS robot.

Enjoy the drones and know America still has the best military in the world.

Flight Radar 24 is a pretty good source for that.

A drone as big as an SUV flying around overhead and our supposedly scientifically advanced defense systems are incapable of following or tracking it back to it’s point of origin either by pursuit, or electronic tracking. This is nothing but another bunch of government bullsh#t. I guess we should wait to find out what Faucci’s opinion on it is.

Here's why I don't think that's what we're dealing with:

Some reports say that there are 20-30 drones reported in some locations, as large as a small car.

They are flying over the Picatinny Arsenal and that's controlled airspace requiring a transponder. If they have a transponder, they could possibly be tracked back to their point of origin.

They are already reported as flying in Morris County (home of the Picatinny Arsenal), Somerset County (home to Trump Bedminster golf course), Staten Island, and now in South New Jersey (Burlington County, Camden County, Ocean County, and Hunterdon County).

The problem with that theory is that these drones prevented a medevac helicopter from responding to an emergency last week and the person to be transported by ambulance. And these drones are already flying all over New Jersey and have started flying over Staten Island.

Trump has access to security info we dont have; could
be connected to looking at these other places, as well.

Duh. I wonder how the DoD will react to an incoming ICBM. We leave ourselves wide open due to incompetence.

The Chinese keep testing our reactions and we react accordingly. Nothing.

“Blinking lights are not typical legacy UFO stuff.

“Lol.”

Yeah, the pictures I saw showed blinking navigation lights that looked like they would comply with all US regulatory requirements. I’m not sure why space creatures or even Chinese spies would take the trouble to do that.
