What we know about the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey

[O5vYtytb]

The only hypothesis that makes sense to me is that there is something very dangerous on the loose that is being searched for, such as nuclear material. The highest authorities don't want to cause panic so they are executing a search this way.

The highest authorities have indicated that the drones are not U.S. military [1].

I guess they could be playing semantic games. Could be defense contractor owned and operated as opposed to directly military controlled.

In any case, if they know what they are they are lying. Either directly or by omission. Not that either would be unusual.

EDIT: Actually there were statements that didn't leave room for semantic games:

“The Bureau is actively investigating the situation you mentioned, the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part of New Jersey, including in proximity to sensitive sites and areas of concern. We do not attribute that to an individual or a group yet."

Highly doubt someone in military PR is doing the 4d chess involved with making this quote while also being in the search grid and not informed:

"While no direct threats to the installation have been identified, we can confirm multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle," Bill Addison, public affairs officer for the naval station, said in a statement to ABC News.

They’d just say nothing was seen, or it was normal flight ops, or make up a training mission.

The military doesn’t re-enforce the reason for public panic or admit they aren’t omnipotent unless they really don’t know.

CEO of a drone manufacturer seems to agree with your hypothesis

I saw this hypothesis in another thread. Although interesting, I did wonder why a regular helicopter doing the same thing would not be sufficient.

I don’t now anything about such scans but that was my immediate rebuttal.

Like you, though, at least I find this explanation plausible.

[IAmGraydon]

That’s the only hypothesis that makes sense to you? Are you sure you’ve applied any critical thought at all?

I’m calling it - this is going down as the largest case of mass hysteria in recorded history.

I feel like myself and a few others, some cash, some materials, a bit of legal immunity, could easily have a working solution to capture a few of these for analysis.

drones

- with bright lights,

- flying over the same populated areas

- at the same time each night.

Not fake at all.

Here's a video by Mick West, who's an expert in analyzing things people see in the sky, that does a great job of explaining what's happening and making it seem obvious in retrospect. It's short (< 4 minutes) and if we could figure out a way to make it required viewing for media that would help a lot.

tldr: People aren't seeing drones. It's collective delusion.
