(Things that go bump in the night, as Art Bell would say)

Weeks of unexplained drone sightings raise fears and frustrations in New Jersey.

“We are literally being invaded by drones. We have no idea who is doing it and where they’re coming from,” Pequannock Mayor Ryan Herb said.

“If Trump is not worried and raising hell then we are fine. He has been briefed for sure.”

It was probably Musk who told him what’s going on. With all Musk’s satellites up there, he knows what’s happening.

You bet, they might know too. Or have figured it out for themselves that the logic of anything other just doesn’t apply.

Musk may have been the contractor who built these for the DoD on the sly. He has the resources, tools, and knowledge to do it...

this whole thing is a psyop. Take a look at legislation congress is trying to pass making it impossible for civilians to own drones.

The pentagon statement that these are manned aircraft being legally flown doesn’t hold water. Wouldn’t a legally flown plane have to file a flight plan and communicate with air flight controllers? So what is the answer? These are apparently large drone type aircraft so not very likely the work of teenage pranksters or even drone hobby flyers. Given their size and complexity they are either flown by governments, military or some large corporation as these are the only ones likely to have access to this technology. The Biden Administration is either clueless about these drones and who is flying them or knows the details and isn’t telling us.

This is so reminiscent of the Chinese spy balloon that wasn’t acknowledged by the Biden Administration until civilians began noticing it and publishing photos in social media. Even then the Biden Administration was loath to shoot it down because of fears it might fall on a populated area …total poppycock as that balloon was initially over scarcely populated areas. Biden allowed the Chinese spy ballon to loiter over the heartland of the US including military installations and did nothing until it had accomplished its nefarious mission.

They are crowd-counting drones being tested the MSM to be used to discredit the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd.

They’re mainly flying around USAF bases.

The fact that the USAF hasn't scrambled fighter jets to escort them away or shoot them down suggests that the USAF knows they are not a threat. In all likelihood, they are USAF assets.

What’s the problem? The drones are flying with their blinking anti-collision lights on, and their red on the port side and green on the starboard lights.

It’s the ones flying around without lights on that should be a concern. Of course, if we can’t see them we have no idea how many are flying around at any one time.

I saw something like this one night in October in Michigan. Very bright lights SUV size or larger. It was stationary just above the tree line. Thought I was going coo coo!

I still haven’t seen a picture of any of these things. Where are all of those obsessed geeks who land on things like this and go out of their way to capture a video or picture?

Shoot a laser from a laser pointer at one of these things and you will find out REAL FAST who owns it or who is flying it.

I’m being to think it’s DARPA, because nobody is doing anything about them.

BS. The cowardis of NJersey citizens is there for all to see. Why are local authorities not shooting them down? When over water and shooting out to see you don’t even have to worry about where a missed shot lands.

Stellantis invested in Archer Aviation, a company that makes car/bus sized piloted electric “drones” to carry people 30-50 miles quickly. The Air Force already announced that it would be testing these machines. The Jersey drones have been seen mainly near Air Force facilities. The drones have FAA appropriate signal lights, which foreign drones or aliens would not.

These are Archer air taxis undergoing government testing.

Stop calling them drones and say what they really are

Unidentified Flying Objects

No drones. Not UAP

UFOs

Say it together now

UFOs

You are being conditioned like rats in a psych experiment

Take your words back, don’t let them control you

UFO. UFO, UFO

There now, that’s a start to a free thinking mind

Glad I could help, robots

The AF HAS scrambled F-15s in the UK at Lakenheath and Ramstein in Germany is the last month

They know they are helpless to stop them

If you want to know what’s going on with the crazy aerial phenomena and the government’s feigned ignorance, you should take about an hour of your time and listen to Courtney Brown’s perspective. It may expand your views of the world we live in.
