Excerpts:
These drones are U.S. military assets, deployed in a classified government operation for real-world exercises and in addition are serving as a psychological operation (PSYOP) aimed at provoking fear and confusion. But for what purpose?
The Key West exercises (early 2024) were designed to stress-test this exact technology in environments that mimic the challenges faced in urban and maritime regions.
The maneuvers performed during those tests—darting, hovering, accelerating, and sudden altitude shifts—mirror precisely what residents in New Jersey are reporting.
After digging deeper into the Key West military exercises, one vital clue stood out:
These trials, overseen by Rear Adm. Jim Aiken, featured one cutting-edge unmanned UAV system that was put to the test in a simulated real-world scenario.
The drones seen flying over New Jersey match all the defining characteristics of the PteroDynamics X-P4 Transwing VTOL UAS, a revolutionary unmanned aerial system that is transforming modern drone technology:
• Silent Hovering and Stationary Flight: The X-P4 is equipped with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities, allowing it to hover silently and remain stationary in midair—just as described by witnesses.
• Morphing and Transforming Design: The X-P4 can change forms by unfolding its retractable wings, transforming from a hovering VTOL drone into a fixed-wing aircraft. This morphing capability enables seamless transitions between modes, combining the agility of a drone with the speed and efficiency of an airplane.
• Unmatched Agility: The X-P4 can perform side-to-side darting, sudden altitude changes, and high-speed acceleration. Witnesses described drones performing sharp, gravity-defying maneuvers—behaviors that are identical to the X-P4’s design capabilities.
• High-Speed Flight: Once transformed into fixed-wing mode, the X-P4 can exceed speeds of 115 mph, making it one of the fastest drones in its class.
• Fully Autonomous Operations: The X-P4 is equipped with advanced AI and autonomy systems, enabling it to operate independently, navigate complex environments, and even perform swarm operations.
• Bright Navigational Lights: The drones spotted in New Jersey featured bright, visible lights at night. This is consistent with military protocols for unmanned aerial systems, which use lighting to prevent midair collisions during training or operational exercises.
• Purpose-Driven Design: The X-P4 is engineered for contested and tight environments, such as ship-to-shore or ship-to-ship missions. Its design allows it to operate in restricted spaces, including urban areas, while maintaining unmatched precision and control.
