Experts try to solve the NJ drone mystery as anxious residents debate who — or what — is responsible for the aircrafts
New York Post ^ | Published Dec. 12, 2024 | Dana Kennedy

When it comes to the mysterious drones — said to be the size of SUVs — buzzing New Jersey and panicking residents, experts say there are only a few possible explanations:

1. A foreign adversary — possibly Iran, Russia or China — is launching them, from either the Atlantic ocean or bodies of water in New Jersey.

2. A private company like Amazon is testing out delivery drones — and is under no obligation to report the experiments to local authorities.

3. Eccentric hobbyists and/or copycats are trolling the state and the media with repeated fly-bys of the vehicles — one of which had the “wingspan of a 747,” a truck driver from Oxford, NJ told The Post.

4. The US government is behind the bizarre drone sightings, and is lying to everyone about not knowing what they are.

5. Or we’re all imagining it — at least according to what White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said Thursday.

“Upon review of available imagery, it appears many of the reports of sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” Kirby said.

What’s especially unusual, however, is that the drones are apparently able to avoid traditional methods of detection, leading both authorities on drones from the military as well as UAP experts to say they could pose a danger to the public.

The last five years have been very strange.

What a laughable joke. The feds could get to the bottom of this in minutes, why have they not or do not want to? The real question is who is gaining or profiting on this?

Could be launched from Club K launch systems. Easy to hide in plain sight. A supposed industrial sight with roll-off boxes. Can launch rockets, cruise missiles. Hard to tell from regular cargo boxes. Have control rooms in a trailer and satellite guidance.

It can’t be foreign spies. They would have gone dark with all this attention. It’s either hobbyists trolling everyone (which I doubt—drones that big can cost as much as a house) or it’s the government. So this is my theory.

Notice how Trump has been totally silent on the matter. He’s been informed. The device they’re looking for was targeted at him.

I would keep an eye out for whether he ever goes back to Bedminster again.

"buzzing New Jersey and panicking residents, experts say there are only a few possible explanations:"

Could be tests of equipment needed for detection, tracking and targeting of drones or drone swarms.

In a sane nation, the origin of the crafts would have already been quickly discovered, one way or another.

But we have Biden in the White House and Lloyd Austin as the Secretary of Defense who did not reach his post through competence.

Where are all the 4K photos, videos, and “counter-drone” cam footage? Any good links?

Meanwhile in central Oregon:

This story is insane. Somebody HAS to know what’s going on. The public has a right to know.

Because getting to the bottom of it would prove that your government has been lying to you for the last hundred years about the biggest cover-up in the history of the world. They have even committed murder at times to keep their evil cover-up intact. The problem they are now faced with is that the ETs who are on the side of righteous Americans and support good for all world humanity will not let this evil cover-up go on any longer. Those who are now in charge of the world and support an evil agenda are not on the side of these aliens, which spells serious trouble. That is partly why they have decided to deliberately increase their visibility slowly to the world before they make their appearance, which will be coming very soon.

I think it could be DHS trying to sniff out a bomb — either dirty or atomic — with drones equipped with radiation sensors. It’s why they’re buzzing at low altitude and buzzing anything large enough to transport such a device. They’ll be up there every night until they find it or it detonates. They don’t want to start a panic, which is why the Feds being so cagey. It’s also why Trump is being completely silent on the matter, when he could use the opportunity to bash the bureaucracy: he’s been informed, and the bomb is likely targeted at him (one word: Iran).
