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."

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.

Thanks for sharing...

"shooting straight up is not a good idea, because what goes up must come down."
Depends on what you're shooting. When I was a youngster, I was sitting on the lawn having mid-day tea with the family when a neighbor about a fifth of a mile away shot at a hawk with birdshot. The shot rained down on us. It was about like hail. Annoying, but causing no damage. One shot landed in my aunt's teacup, but didn't break it (it may have hit a leaf on the way down since we were under trees).
