Fact-check: Drones were not tracking missing radioactive material in New Jersey
ABC News ^ | Dec 17, 2024 | Matthew Glasser and Leah Sarnoff

A theory that "missing" radioactive material in New Jersey could be linked to the string of mysterious "drone" sightings in the state has been disproven, according to the Department of Energy and related officials.

The shipping container in question departed from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield, New Jersey, and contained an Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-0132 device that arrived at its destination "damaged and empty," according to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's original notice.

The device contains trace amounts of the radioactive isotope Germanium-68, which is used as a radiation source for one of the cancer center's CAT scan machines.

James Dalzell, M.D., at the Nazha Cancer Center, told ABC News on Tuesday that the missing material has been found and has been disposed of properly.

Basic theory: Missing nuclear weapon(s) from Ukraine may have been smuggled into the NY/NJ area and the US government is flying drones trying to detect sources of radiation.

This has now been "disproven" because someone found some low-grade medical material that had been misplaced awhile ago.

Uh huh.

Sorry, ABC, but a “fact check” by you means nothing, you are proven lying media morons. I don’t have any ideas about our supposed drone ‘invasion’, but I’ll not expect any believable ones from your lot or from the Biden collection of liars and idiots.

That cancer center is in NORTHFIELD, not Newfield. If they can’t get the town right, what else did they get wrong?

Still the “we absolutely know it isn’t (-——) but we have absolutely no idea what it is. No threat, though, we guarantee that. Maybe the Planet Venus or Jupiter and a small plane and some birds in formation or something.”

RE: not tracking missing radioactive material....

Nope, we’re just letting it go. No tracking of it.

We have no idea what these things are or where they came from but we are positive they are not dangerous. At all. Sure. I believe every single word of what they say.

So birds are being the excuse to scramble F-15 fighter jets from Lakenheath and RAF bases, then Wright Patt, then Hill AFB, now Camp Pendleon?

We are being probed.

Like Trump said, full disclosure or SHOOT THEM DOWN!

More likely they are looking for the Stinger missiles Biden gave to Ukraine and Ukraine promptly sold them to terrorists.

Department of Energy and related officials

What does "related officials" mean? Are they all cousins? Or just unmentioned officials who's titles remain unknown?

If you can say for certain what they were NOT doing, then you must know for certain what they ARE doing.

How does a liberal journalist, the dumbest person in any career field, who does not have a security clearance “fact check” such as thing? They do not. They merely lie for the liberal democrap administration.

The very low level nuke material went missing in New Jersey on 12/2. Reports of the drone sightings started on 11/18 and many of the reports come from places that are nowhere near NJ or the Tri-State area, including CA, GA, MA, ME, NV, OH, VA, and the UK.
