Some people are saying these are either UFOs or a foreign country. I believe that these HAVE to be domestic. Look – if China/Russia/etc can overfly our most sensitive military bases and our Air Force, etc. doesn’t respond, the USA has gotten PUNKED. What is actually happening is you are seeing some sanctioned activity either by a commercial contractor of the Federal government, or you are seeing some secret Air Force tech. The Army, etc will just deny, deny, deny, because they know in a couple of days this will fall out of the news cycle.
I’d be curious to hear people’s theories to see if I’m alone in my line of thinking or not.
Easy, because government excuses need a veneer of belivability. Clearly, weather balloons don’t move like these objects (who, as far as I am aware, EVERYONE is calling drones), so that can’t be the excuse.
Oh yeah I agree that’s not the most plausible. I just mentioned that as it’s an excuse they’ve used previously. I’d expect something more like “light pollution surveying” or “generic scientific study”.
I can’t imagine you’d do an operation like this over one of the busiest parts of the country without a pre-prepared cover story that doesn’t make the government look incompetent. They usually hate looking incompetent.
The problem with those excuses is they’d have to ‘own’ the drones, and clearly, they want to avoid that at this point. They are just trying to make it very boring until these drones drop out of the news cycle and America’s mad about something else for a week or two.
Yeah I guess if they’re just short term testing something they can just wait for them to “go away” and then people will move on
We had a drone scare in a town near where I live. It was dropping a “mysterious substance” on cars and houses. Turns out it was just a heron pooping on things.
Now, there are photos of the NJ drone, so I’m more inclined to believe this is actually a drone, but even still, consumer drones are getting better and cheaper. This could easily just be a teenager having fun.
