Maybe not, could have still been looking for a nuke and that would still fall within the parameters of his explanation.

Exactly. If the FAA was conducting “research”, why did they issue a statement warning about their own drones proximity to the Newark Airport?

The FAA people who authorized this should be fired.

All aircraft operating in this airspace are required to have an operational transponder beacon that provides the speed , location, altitude and direction of travel to all other aircraft in the area to avoid collisions.

Let’s hear more about the specific kind of “research” being conducted in this way, at these times and locations. Who was doing the research? Full disclosure is needed.

looked like many of them had RED-Right Wrong lights (Green-Right is OK), so I did not worry much about it. If hostiles or ET’s, no good reason to have them.

No, a government op.

Note that the FAA authorized it, but it doesn’t say they owned the drones.

That is likely another agency which will remain nameless.

“for research and various other reasons”

I’d like to know what the “various other reasons” were. You can hide A LOT of stuff in there.

“All aircraft operating in this airspace are required to have an operational transponder beacon that provides the speed , location, altitude and direction of travel to all other aircraft in the area to avoid collisions.”

ADSB OUT Requirement -

“UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY THE FAA”

Drone Community - If our operations prove to be a problem let us use 5g $20 ADSB OUT transponder.

FAA - ADSB was not designed for that. You have to use an unproven technology REMOTE ID we thought of 20 minutes ago, that is 5x the cost of a 1w ADSB OUT transponder.

Designers of ADSB - It certainly was designed for 40,000 operators per 100 mile radius circles.

Builders and Hobbiest of drones from 100g to 55000g, you all figure it out and call us back in 10 years.
