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.

(CNN) — Weeks of mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey are prompting heightened security concerns – and mounting frustrations – from residents, military personnel and federal, state and local officials.

(CNN) — Weeks of mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey are prompting heightened security concerns – and mounting frustrations – from residents, military personnel and federal, state and local officials.

While the state’s governor says there’s no threat to public safety, other state officials and local mayors are alarmed.

“I’m legitimately concerned for what the hell is going on because nobody knows,” state Assemblyman Brian Bergen told CNN affiliate News 12 New Jersey after a briefing at state police headquarters on Wednesday.

“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 told the station after the briefing.

We need to take a slow down. If Trump is not worried and raising hell then we are fine. He has been briefed for sure.

These are out of DC restaurants practicing on delivering food to the Republicans once they take over DC. LOL.

Whatever the Feds say the opposite is closer to the truth. Trump probably doesn’t know more than anyone.

This morning on fox kilmeade had a “drone expert” on and they were outside showing the different types of drones.

The “expert” basically said what people are seeing are conventional aircraft or drones their neighbors are sending up to look for the mystery drones so there is no need for concern.

Naturally being outside it attracted a crowd off the street and at the end of the segment kilmeade asked the crowd if they were interested in this story and they yelled “YES!”......Then he asked if they were worried about the mystery drones and they all yelled “YES!”.

One morning news commentator suggested that this is a prank by entitled MIT students. I could almost believe that.

Remember the craze of the “creepy clowns” in public prank a few years ago? That was college students.

if the people can’t be trusted then the government can’t either. ...

How can they be so sure what it isn't when they say they don't know what it is?
Someone is lying.

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.

Yes, one vid I saw it looked like an Osprey military plane not a drone.

Hmm, lets see if we can figure this out. They’re mainly flying around USAF bases. They aren’t harming anyone. They’ve kindly installed FAA lights. Our allies in the UK are flying them, too. They took off for Thanksgiving. Yep, space aliens or goat herders, definitely. Or maybe they are ours and this is a game of ours is bigger than yours to perhaps peacefully stop WWIII or at least we’re getting in some training. It isn’t as if the military is going to fill us in on all their top secret projects.

This is a lot like the UFO craze of the 1950s......everything people saw was extraterrestrial even if it was obviously a conventional aircraft.

I can see mass hysteria from here.... and it looks like a drone!

Aliens observing a populace that would "elect" such a stupid, lying governor.

If these drones are the size of an SUV then that means they are made to carry people or other large items.

Yep, absolutely.

“Our allies in the UK are flying them, too.”

Actually those are us too, we are protecting our own U.S. assets there. It is all logical.

Also, alternate media Trump insiders who are currently working with Trump on the transition, are not mentioning the drones. For example Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, and Jack Posobiec make not mention of them.

Hopefully these drones have something to do with protecting Bedminster.

It seems that the drones are appearing in coastal areas. Are they being seen in areas like Oklahoma or Nebraska?

Yes he does. Or he would be screaming “look what Biden did!!!”. They visited his Golf Course and not one word. He knows...

Sounds like Rear Admiral Kirby BS.
