I heard today that there are over a million drones now registered in the US and about 8000 in the air on any given day. Big numbers.

In ADA, that was never really a concern. **** fell outside of a protected area, yeah well, some hadji's became terrorists. not my problem. jokes aside. falling debris is a serious concern and the targets should be shot down before they enter a protected area (costal US). We know the windows they're coming from...

Valid point!

Most have NEVER been exposed to such nonsense... if not for Fox, CNN, XXX, and PARF, etc....

.... and PPOT

It is obvious that these drones are from the US government, otherwise they would not be using FAA compliant lights, and the military would have shot or captured a few by now.

The hypothesis that they would be sniffing for radiation can explain why they operate at night, why there are so many of them, and why those in the know won’t say anything for fear of creating a mass panic. They may just be testing that search capability on a real case, even though the amount of radioactive material missing is not that significant.

I'll guess that over half of the reported sightings come from people who never paid much attention to the night sky before the reports started coming out.

Yes, I’ve seen a lot of “drone” sightings that are clearly aircraft on final to land. So while there’s definitely some weird stuff going on, ignorance is also fueling the fire.

i've noticed in NJ and northern Delaware there are some absolutely massive amazon warehouse type buildings being built. Maybe testing delivery tech but then why not own up to it?

[group911@aol.co]

Not to mention all the shots fired that didn't hit the target. Wonder what could possibly go wrong.

Add one point to the unintelligent column for the last comment (unless you meant to type this in green).

I will agree that there is a danger of unintelligent people but the problem is that they got elected to office. Example: in one large city, the mayor and its leaders recently decided to continue paying for illegal immigrants and take a short term loan of $40 million (even though they are already drowning in debt) as the mayor has 100 staffers being paid 6 figures each! The "Vice Mayor" (like a backup quarterback who doesn't ever play unless the regular quarterback is incapacitated) is paid almost a half million dollars is an alderman with a salary.

Maybe we can blame the unintelligent public but only for voting for them.

We might be okay if we quit paying the stupid ones to breed

Is there some faction of the government that’s itching to get this pushed over the finish line?

It has been interesting listening to and reading the sheer tonnage of steer manure that our legacy media and the government officials have been feeding us over the last few weeks of "drone wars". I look back at the sensationalist nonsense we got over the Chinese spy balloon, the supposed alien life forms story, the fake origins of covid (Raccoon dog??), the complete absence of transparency with the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt. It just smells like a snow job and another absence of leadership.

What we know:
1. These are coordinated swarms, highly visible with nav lights (they are ours).
2. The DOD knows exactly who, what, where, when, and how they are being deployed but are lying about it because they think we are too stupid or too fragile to accept the truth.
3. Taking a high res photo with a better than average camera and lens would be child's play for a skilled astrophotographer. (see example below of a fast moving "drone" a bit further up in the sky)

4. There are clear answers out there, they just don't want to tell us... yet.

If this is all an intentional display to divert our attention, what other stories are they trying to distract us from?

Reading this forum it's more than just the welfare class that is causing issues. In fact a LARGE amount of the 'us/them' mentality is middle class earning types as seen on this very forum. Everybody wants to belong to a tribe- the internet anonymity factor made it soooo easy because (and you can use this if you credit me Shaun) the very critical feedback loop is absent with internet communication. You can post dumb **** to your hearts content believing you represent an entire community of people while not one would actually agree with you or accept you as a member. This happens because 99% of the people who think you're an idiot don't bother responding (or even see it). It's very much like having an imaginary friend who never disagrees. THIS is the core of the problem with social media/internet.

Here's some new twists on this puzzling drone issue:

Source:

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.
