All of these scenarios are plausible but I tend to believe these drones are by aliens monitoring us.

    I look out my peephole before I go outside. Not for drones but for gossipy neighbors.  I know my entire trip to the grocery/licker store will be monitored.

Brightly lit drones are not a threat.

Drones are now low enough cost that anyone can build/fly one. So they do.

What Are the Mystery Drones Reported over New York State and New Jersey?

Reports of unidentified flying objects in the northeastern U.S. are on the rise, but so far officials have few answers for alarmed residents

What’s bright, flying and reportedly swarming the night skies over northern New Jersey?

The answer is apparently “drones,” but no one seems to know—or, at least, to be able to disclose—much more than that.

The past several weeks have seen surging reports of strange unidentified aircraft—some allegedly as large as a car—over parts of the Garden State. Eyewitnesses and videos suggest that some have been rotorcraft and others have been fixed-wing aircraft. Some have purportedly flown solo and erratically, while others have seemed to operate in an orderly formation. All, however, have appeared to show no signs of stealth; they’ve been described as conspicuously bright lights. And according to a December 5 social media post by New Jersey governor Phil Murphy, the spate of sightings is being seriously investigated—but “there is no known threat to the public at this time.”

Many of the reports initially clustered in New Jersey’s Morris County—where strange objects were seen apparently maneuvering over major waterways, municipal reservoirs and even sensitive military facilities such as the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal. Some of the latest sightings have been from other surrounding counties, however, and have stretched as far south as the outskirts of Philadelphia. The sightings have come amid fresh reports of alarming drone activity elsewhere, including at four military bases in the U.K. that are used by the U.S. in recent weeks and around Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in December 2023.

It’s Aliens!!

[catfish1957]

I think you might know the life expectancy of a drone that might be hovering over property in SE Texas.

Texas?  New Jersey?  What's the diff? 

Somebody should have bagged one by now.  Especially, given the size being described as the same as an SUV.

[catfish1957]

Texas?  New Jersey?  What's the diff? 

We have guns...  lots of 'em.    And we really really really like to use them.   

Wanna do a per capita check?   

[Lando Lincoln]

And we can’t scramble a Piper Cub to take a look?

[Smokin Joe]

If this is some sort of coordinated data gathering effort, whoever it is has a lot of money/time, major data processing, and likely has nothing good in mind.

Apparently there is some report of the drones belonging to Iraq.    What info or intel have they gathered??

[Lando Lincoln]

Seriously, the longer this goes on the more likely they are our own and nobody is talking. If they were of unknown origin, jets would be scrambled and we’d take a look. We’d probably shoot a few down.

[DCPatriot]

Very simple remedy...declare an "Open Season" on them.  Let the citizens shoot them down.

We'll find out immediately if they're "ours".

[DB]

Drones are cheap and there's many of them. Lots of people fly them around day and night.

The public "shooting them down" is a terrible idea. What you shoot into the air comes back down who knows where in populated areas... And people have no idea what they're actually shooting at... Could be a manned aircraft...

Welcome to new technology and the problems that go with it...

Not referring to drones that you buy you kids at Christmas or on their birthdays...

Talking about these drones "...the size of SUVs or a small school bus"

[Kamaji]

Drone capture nets.  Easy to get, easy to discharge, easy to capture drones.

That is very likely BS. I've not seen any evidence to support that claim. Something in the sky at an unknown altitude is very difficult to gauge its size and can easily be wildly wrong.

[Kamaji]

It’s probably someone’s idea of performance art.  Sort of like crop circles. 

[mystery-ak]

Have they tried jamming transmissions signals...?

Local teenagers most likely.

Again, these are not 'toy' drones. The drones being reported are the size of UFO's.

[libertybele]

Again, these are not 'toy' drones.

...........In a post on the social media platform X, Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia described the drones as up to 6 feet in diameter and sometimes traveling with their lights switched off. The Morris County Republican was among several state and local lawmakers who met with state police and Homeland Security officials to discuss the spate of sightings that range from the New York City area through New Jersey and westward into parts of Pennsylvania, including over Philadelphia.

The devices do not appear to be being flown by hobbyists, Fantasia wrote.

Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights started last month and have raised growing concern among residents and officials. Part of the worry stems from the flying objects initially being spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military research and manufacturing facility; and over President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Drones are legal in New Jersey for recreational and commercial use, but they are subject to local and Federal Aviation Administration regulations and flight restrictions. Operators must be FAA certified.

Most, but not all, of the drones spotted in New Jersey were larger than those typically used by hobbyists..........

[libertybele]

Just my humble opinion here, but if the FBI says that they don't have any answers, then there's more to the story than is being admitted to.

https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/northeast/fbi-no-answers-drones-new-jersey/

[Smokin Joe]

Well, even Google gets some stuff right:

Picatinny Arsenal serves as the headquarters for the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center and employs highly skilled technicians, scientists, and engineers engaged in the full range of armament research and development.

Maybe, just maybe, they're ours, and they are working on drone swarm deployment there.

Just maybe. (Mum's the word...Loose lips and all that.)

[Lando Lincoln]

Having gone on for this amount of time, they are ours. Otherwise, we would have brought one or more down.

Would normally agree, but we also allowed the Chicom balloon to transverse the entire country.  Not 100% sure.

[Sighlass]

Anti-drone is now a caliber.... and the Russians are scrambling to perfect them.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLLeOaUYVZ0

[Kamaji]

That would be a good idea. 

[Smokin Joe]

I have a case of 3" 12 gauge coyote loads (BB shot) that would likely be more effective than the 5.45 cartridges, but any port in a storm. That's significant initiative for Russians/Soviets, and likely born of desperation or simply the desire to survive.

Odd they aren't deploying shotguns...

‘Shoot Them Down’: GOP Rep Jeff Van Drew Says He Knows Who Could Be Behind Drone Wave Over New Jersey

https://dailycaller.com/2024/12/11/shoot-them-down-gop-rep-says-he-knows-who-could-be-behind-drone-wave-over-new-jersey/

Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey said Wednesday that he believed Iran was behind a series of instances involving waves of drones over New Jersey.

“I’m also on the Transportation Committee, on the Aviation Subcommittee and I have gotten to know people and from very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources, I’m going to tell you the real deal: Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago’ that contains these drones. That mothership is off – I’m gonna tell you the deal – it is off the East Coast of the United States of America,” Van Drew said. “They’ve launched drones, everything that we can see or hear and again these are from high sources. I don’t say this lightly. We know there was a probability it could have been our own government. We know it is not our own government, because they would have let us know. It could have been some really glorified hobbyists… doing something unbelievable, they don’t have the technology, but let’s pretend that’s possible. The third possibility was somebody, adversarial country doing this. Know that Iran made a deal with China to purchase drones, motherships and technology in order to go forward.”

EXCERPT

I believe Congressman Drew.

If this is true though, why has this Iranian "mothership" not been captured or sunk?

Looking for that incident to start WWIII before he leaves? A few hundred of these in the wrong places at the right time could create havoc and potentially, a lot of damage.

[Kamaji]

So, a foreign country trying to spy via drone uses drones with lots of lights on them?  Really surreptitious.

My take on the NJ drones that are being seen en masse:

- Congress holds a hearing where Reproduction Vehicles (craft that has been retrofitted or copied from UAPs) are disclosed.
- Russia unveils some new super weapon (hypersonic) in Ukraine. It's touted as unstoppable.
- Craft starts showing up all over American skies.
- The U.S. claims they don't know what they are... but they're not a threat. Riiiight. The only way authorities would be able to say that is if they WERE TOLD to say that.

This is similar to when the B2 was first unveiled. We're being desensitized to a new technology. They're getting ready to use this tech in actual military applications all over the world. This is a both a warning to countries like Russia and China, as well as a heads up to the American people on what to expect in the near future.

Where did we get the technology? I won't speculate. Who knows... but probably not from Kansas.

As New Jersey’s drone mystery deepens, local officials demand answers
With hundreds of reported drone sightings across the state, local officials are growing frustrated as the FBI and Homeland Security give little insight on their investigations ........

Latest drone footage captures 'sophisticated' UFOs interacting with each other over New Jersey

The latest footage of bizarre drones in New Jersey captured several craft orbiting each other over Somerset County, while at least 12 counties have reported sightings.

The video, released this week, shows three 'mystery drones in the air' as two move extremely close as if they are interacting with each other and the third hovered for 'about 15 minutes.'

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said Monday night that the drones are 'very sophisticated, explaining: 'The minute we get eyes on them [the drones], they go dark.'

'I don't blame people for being frustrated,' Gov Murphy continued, adding that he had spent most of Sunday coordinating on the issue with both the White House and the US Department of Homeland Security in the hope of getting answers.

He said that the state received 49 sighting reports on Sunday night alone, with hundreds of locals sharing experiences on social media platforms.

On Monday, Picatinny Arsenal, the Army facility in Morris County, confirmed it has had 11 sightings of 'UFOs' over in its airspace in recent weeks.

The sightings, which began in November, have included reports of multiple craft flying over the same areas each night and reports of 'car-sized' drones, the kind not usually used by hobbyists, over some areas.

New Jersey state senator, Jon Bramnick (R-21), is now calling for a limited 'state of emergency' banning all drone usage authorities can determine who is responsible for the eerie night flights..............
