Summary of Video Transcript:

Introduction to the Investigation (2:08–2:29)

• Reporter Rich McHugh shares his initial skepticism about the mysterious drones over New Jersey.
• His firsthand experience changed his perspective, finding the drones more sophisticated than expected.

Drone Sightings and Characteristics (2:30–3:22)

• McHugh observes 40–50 drones in one evening, appearing as fixed-wing aircraft with colorful blinking lights, about 8–10 feet wide.
• These drones are unlike airplanes or typical drones seen before.

Sheriff’s Department Investigation (3:23–4:10)

• Ocean County Sheriff's Department launched their own drones to intercept the mysterious drones.
• Mysterious drones do not emit heat like regular drones, perplexing investigators.
• A sworn officer reported seeing 50 drones rising from the ocean.

Coast Guard Involvement (4:11–4:25)

• The Coast Guard confirmed sightings of 13 drones with an estimated wingspan of about 8 feet, flying at 300 feet.
• Federal agencies like the FBI and State Police have been contacted, but the origin of the drones remains unknown.

Unanswered Questions and Message to Authorities (4:26–5:00)

• Despite more than a month of reports, the federal government has no answers regarding the drones.
• Ocean County officials urge the White House to take the concerns of residents more seriously.

Advanced Evasion Capabilities (5:01–5:14)

• The Sheriff’s Department used an industrial-grade drone to track one of the mysterious drones, but it easily evaded capture, disappearing into thin air.
• McHugh concludes by questioning whether the drones belong to the U.S. military.

Here's another NewsNation video in which Reporter Rich McHugh expands his account. And there are other witnesses in other locations.

Mystery drones: ‘Banfield’ experts spot craft in three states

Someone mentioned on another thread if these drones are probably ours and may be looking for a terrorist nuke. That would be the reason for secrecy to avoid panic.

Some new information in both videos (see post #2 for second video):

• No sound (at least in the ones seen by this reporter)
• No heat signature (as reported by the policeman who tried to follow the drone with the police drone)
• The drone witnessed in Tennessee wasn't like the NJ drones. Per the Tenn witness, "It was round. It's got a ring around it and the ring has lights on it and the lights are spinning" (I think he is saying that the ring is spinning).

No heat emission. Now that is curious. Lithium batteries emit heat when in use, so do other energy sources, especially petroleum or gas based ones. What could produce enough energy to fly something of substantial size for miles without producing some heat emission? And was there any use of radar? Flying at 300 feet could pose a problem there, I guess. I don’t buy the talk about Iran having anything that sophisticated, so I’m leaning on our own military testing some pretty fancy gizmos, especially when they say “no threat to public safety”. How would they know that, unless they are clueless and don’t know what else to say. The plot thickens.

[RoosterRedux]

If that’s true, why would they swarm the Coast Guard rescue boat?

It’s becoming an Orson Wells “War of the Worlds” scenario

[eastforker]

That’s a good question unless nothing is beyond suspicion. There are some pretty shady characters in the deep state. I am reminded of the TV show a few years ago, the series 24. I think that show portrayed the deep state a lot more accurately than most people believe.

What could produce enough energy to fly something of substantial size for miles without producing some heat emission?

I don't think there is such a thing that could evade an IR camera on a police drone.

The infrared cameras on police drones are typically sensitive enough to detect very low heat signatures. These cameras are designed to pick up even small temperature differences, which is why they're used for tasks like locating people in dense foliage or at night. As an aside, IR cameras would more easily detect a heat signature in the winter and at night because of the temperature contrast.

I agree about nothing being beyond consideration. Particularly since no one seems to know what we are dealing with.;-)

[RoosterRedux]

Ping. Surprising new information about these NJ drones.

“If that’s true, why would they swarm the Coast Guard rescue boat?”

I have to share it again... Kids will be kids... Kids in the military with cool toys have a sense of humor and adventure risk too. They push the envelope and it is not always discouraged because in real battle they are indeed going to have to push that envelope. :)

[RoosterRedux]

I was responding to Eastforker's comment ("Someone mentioned on another thread if these drones are probably ours and may be looking for a terrorist nuke.") about terrorist nukes. I don't think a search for nukes would involve kids playing.

But, then, I've been wrong before.:-)

[Omnivore-Dan]

“I don’t think there is such a thing that could evade an IR camera on a police drone”. Me either. Anti-gravity devices are still way into the future, unless I’m an out of touch hermit. Could be the distance was too great, or the IR was not working properly, but I would have to believe that wasn’t the case, given these were supposedly trained professionals. Also hard to tell reality from fiction these days with what info comes over the web and other media.

[Openurmind]

I didn’t realize that was the context, sorry... Not enough cofffffeeeeee yet... :)

[RoosterRedux]

What’s weird is that these drones are reportedly flying for hours and hours. One would expect them (at least some of them) to be as hot as a fired-up BBQ grill. I got the feeling that that policeman was shocked by this (no detectable heat signature) as well.

[Degaston]

Any word from Mar-a-Lago on this? If not then it’s probably a US military test. IMO they would be better off doing such testing in the deserts of Nevada than in high population areas.
