Drones! (It's a Jersey thing)

There is no doubt in my mind that some of these mystery drones are from our military or other govt agencies.

And yes, the public wouldn’t necessarily be told that which kind of does equate to things being “hidden” from the public. Your comment called that statement a “Yawnnn”. I’m just saying it’s probably true that the public isn’t being told what is going on with some of these drones. The others I speculate are mostly hobbyists taking advantage of the situation and filling the skies to further stir up the population.

No doubt in your mind? Any facts supporting your absolute certainty?

As a caution, the public’s misidentification of aerial phenomena can have serious impacts. It seems that planes mistaken for drones have had lasers directed at them.

Sorry to disagree (north of the Driscoll bridge).

Thought they already knew they weren’t “harmful”….whatever that means. :thinking:

Public Hysteria: THE DRONES (many of which are helicopters and planes) ARE OUT TO GET US!

Federal Government: Hmmm. Nothing out out the ordinary seems to be happening.

Public Hysteria: BUT THE DRONES! THE IRANIAN MOTHERSHIP! THE DANGER! YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING FROM US!!! I KNOW FOR A FACT SOMETHING IS GOING ON!!!

Federal Government: Calm down. If it makes you feel better we’ll spend a bunch of money and divert resources to detect the drones. If nothing else, maybe it will quell the hysteria.

Public Hysteria: SEE. I TOLD YOU! IF THERE WAS NO THREAT YOU WOULDN’T BE LOOKING INTO IT! CONSPIRACY THEORIES CONFIRMED! WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LYING ABOUT!!!
