New Jersey Drone Invasion (1 Viewer)

Driving home last night at 9:30, I saw a small plane. boxy in shape ,2 seater at best. normally we don’t have small aircraft flying around at night, that low, going that slowly. And this was outside of any normal flight patterns. Could it been unmanned? No clue. But it’s amusing to hypothesize.

I’m in Southern California.
I live in Temecula and saw 3 drones last night very clearly. Was driving home from touring the neighborhood with my wife and daughter looking at Christmas lights. We were at a stop sign and 3 drones flying in formation just a few hundred feet above our heads were slowly flying straight at us. We all sat there for a sec and watched them silently cruise over and past us. Was strange.
 
He said it is testing. Either by the govt or a sanctioned defense contractor. He laughed at the nefarious conspiracies. He said the only reason they have FAA lights on, is to comply with the FAA. He also said we the public have no clue on how advanced the tech is that the govt has in regards to drones.
I have to say their service record is excellent. Never hear about any of these drones having a malfunction and crashing down to the ground.
I believe this to be true. My opinion: The gov't is about 20 years ahead of what the general public thinks is 'cutting edge'.
I’ll add on to my family member’s resume. He did 2 tours in Afghanistan/Middle East. He’s certainly the most credible source I have. :shrug:

Him chiding people about the possibility of aliens or “the irans” (his words :lmao: ) using sanctioned proper FAA lighting was comedy gold. Gold!
That's exactly what he'd want us to think.
He’s out of the game man! He gone main stream. He just trains police departments around the country how to use/fly drones. Wait a second… :hophead:

I too have a good source. Best neighbor I've ever had and a very close friend. He spent 40 years in top secret weapons development programs at the China Lake Navy Base. He's an electrical engineer. Retired a few years ago and moved to Oregon, but we chat regularly. His son is now my next door neighbor. His last 25 years were in the drone program. They used Jet Ski motors in the early days. In the later days, he'd go to work, sit in a cockpit lab, and fly a high altitude surveillance drone to Pearl Harbor. That's quite a flight a bit beyond known tech.

So I chatted him up. What's up in New Jersey, bro?? He said it was the tall whites. The greys fly much smaller crafts because they're tiny aliens. The tall whites are from the Pleiades and also known as Plajaren. There's no evidence that they pose a risk, but he is curious about what they're up to.

His son says since he retired he just drives his RV to cool places and gets high.
That's some bull $#!&!
I know, right!? pretty racist that the tall whites get a bunch of cool names and planets, while the greys get nothing.
 
fyi...

Ukraine is developing a program for “queen-drones” – large carrier drones capable of deploying smaller strike drones, the outlet reported.
What could go wrong? Ha ha
 

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- There is a major development in the ongoing drone saga in New Jersey.

Several federal agencies had tried to put to it bed earlier this week by saying they found nothing out of the ordinary.

However, the Federal Aviation Administration has now issued temporary flying restrictions (TFR) in multiple cities across New Jersey, including several locations in our area, due to "special security reasons."

The TFR areas include parts within the city of Camden, Gloucester City, Winslow Township, Evesham, Hancock's Bridge in Lower Alloways Township in Salem County, Westampton, Burlington and Hamilton in Mercer County. Flying drones are also banned in Bridgewater, Cedar Grove, North Brunswick, Metuchen, Westampton, South Brunswick, Edison, Branchburg, Sewaren, Jersey City, Harrison, Elizabeth, Bayonne, Clifton and Kearny.

Here is a map of those sites where flying drones are now temporarily banned:

Interesting. Governments actions are way more believable then governments words. Flying restrictions? Hmmmm. Just a big coincidence. Enjoy your holidays. Ha ha

That's a weirdly specific and seemingly random patchwork of towns. Not based on size of town some of those are small), not based on proximity to airports, not mostly towns that are next to each other.
 
People are trying to turn this whole drone hysteria into a kind of cowboy movie now.

"Meet the new space cowboys. Nassau County cops have gotten the green light to shoot troublesome drones out of the sky — with officials saying they don’t want to wait for something “disastrous” to happen.

The order went out Thursday as county officials unveiled a new state-of-the-art drone command center that can track the mysterious flying crafts from miles away, but they need the feds to sign off on high-tech tools to intercept and take down the drones. Instead, they’re taking matters into their own hands. “We don’t want to wait until we have some kind of disastrous event to then say, ‘Well, we could have done this and we could have done that,'” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told reporters."
