A New Jersey state senator is calling for a limited state of emergency over the mysterious drones that have been seen flying over New Jersey in recent weeks.

"The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings," Republican state Sen. Jon Bramnick said in a statement Tuesday.

The call came amid numerous recent drone sightings reported across New Jersey in recent weeks. The drones are larger than the type typically used by hobbyists, officials and eyewitnesses have said.

It would cost a small fortune to maintain a squadron of 50 industrial grade drones off shore. That would almost certainly mean the owner operators are either US or China.

These drones are hard to identify as to their source, if no steps are taken to identify them.

Originally, I thought this was US law enforcement searching for someone - perhaps a terrorist - and wanting to keep it quiet.

I have a feeling that this has either electromagnetic signal monitoring or face recognition and they’re testing it for later deployment after a crisis to “keep people safe.”

The most mysterious thing about this, to me anyway, is that not a single person has taken one down yet. Isn’t anyone armed?

What you would use if you weren’t beholden to the force behind the drones.

The team managing the Biden admin is doing all they can to hurt America on their way out.

Just get a couple of cheap drones to smash into them to take one down.

This is taking WAY too long. How can Trump help to speed things up?

NJ is increasing our freedom with regards to the 2nd Amendment as of late. And that is great news.

Sporting Clay shooters from the gun club would be a better option.

I read somewhere last week is that they have TRIED to take down these drones. and have failed.
Which IF that is actually true, is a little scary.

I would not be terribly surprised if these drones were not a Chinese operation, and the Biden administration did not want to create (in their minds) and international incident by confronting the Chinese.

It would be interesting to know if the drones appeared on radar.

If they are flying drones in our airspace then obviously they are fair game...............

Think about it for a second, if they are being controlled remotely, it would be a pretty simple exercise to determine the frequency of the communication channel, jam the control channel and take down a few of these drones to determine the origin.

I’ve read that some of the drones are much large than your average consumer grade drone and loiter over an area for 1 hour or more, not something a consumer grade drone can do.

Regardless of who is controlling these drones, the public has an absolute right to know who it is and what the motive is, if for some reason it’s private citizens, they should be arrested and prosecuted.

I can’t understand why this is being allowed to happen.

No one in our Govt. knows where they are from. Why aren’t they taking them down?
