Two of our/my drones are on top of the Fukushima reactor because it was the safe, effective method to get the radiation measurements needed without putting people in harms way. That is the real advantage...in sensing, sniffing, jamming, targeting, etc. Getting them there is the key.

We do ISR aircraft system calibrations at night because the radio frequency (RF) environment is dramatically quieter than during the day. If you were trying to detect the proverbial needle in a haystack using non-visual sensors, you would want to do it at night.

Orange County N.Y. at the Stewart Airport sharing the Army National Guard base.
https://midhudsonnews.com/2024/12/15/drone-activity-shuts-down-stewart-airport/ Has anyone tracked these reports and locations of sensitive locations. If it is a common denominator could go either Gov. testing or adversary spying. Chose your poison or let our tax paid authorities give us a solid answer we are due. Sawyer |

Went to a shoot in NJ today and my shooting buddy was chatting with another guy who mentioned he was from NJ. Buddy asked the obvious 'have you seen these drones?' question. Guy said constantly seeing them and is getting worried.
One suggestion out there apparently is these are some kind of nuke sniffer looking for something that might've been smuggled in under the ahem...recent era of poorly managed border policy.

Air Force confirms UAVs flying "over or near" Wright Patterson AFB night of Dec 13/14. They closed the air space for 4 hours.
Small "drones" are so common now days it seems inevitable that they would be appearing everywhere for perfectly benign reasons. It seems to me that it is also inevitable that eventually some bad actor can take advantage of that and do something harmful. Whether it has happened yet is another question.

Coming back from FBIIs house on Saturday I was traveling West on Rt 80 when a drone flying low enough for me to see it clearly passed in front of me near Rt 15. When I got near the Rt 15 entrance to Picatinny I saw it parked over that gate. I was at a red light and could watch it hover for the time that I sat there. If it was really a threat and that close to the Arsenal I'm feel sure it would have been rubble. There are no residences near that gate.

What if...
Show of power from an "unknown" cabal? Martial law coming up?

-Daylight: clearly a drone. What of it, this is nothing new? -Daylight: Yep, that is a drone flying too close to an aircraft/over 400 feet/in restricted airspace, seems like we should do something about that and figure out a way to enforce the law -Night: looks like commercial aircraft flying overhead, or an aircraft landing pattern seen from far off (SEATAC is around 20 miles from my beach and I see this view a lot looking south).

Really? You're surprised in THIS day and age of QAnon and 4Chan and Jewish Space Lasers?

Instantly accessible universal knowledge should have been the greatest boon to mankind since the invention of fire.
Instead of bliss, instead of exponential knowledge undreamed of, instead of cures, we got Dunning-Kruger.
