There's a LOT of military drone development and testing happening right now. The technology and applications are exploding. DOD is less concerned about hiding it than keeping up with adversaries but they aren't going to disclose anything.

Perhaps they are trying to find a radiation signal from a yet to be detonated device?
Well…you sounded taller on radio.

Yep

People in New Jersey should start shooting them down with their AR-15s, shotguns and other rifles and guns.

Problem and identification solved!

There are a lot better places to test future systems that limit the view of the public.
Stealth mode failed.
Trump will fix it.

I heard the size of a "hood of a car", which isn't really that insane in terms of the end-to-end length and width a drone could be. People keep thinking these drones are the actual size of cars.
There are ag drones made in Richmond, TX that are 10 feet x 10 feet. That is pretty big.


That sounds reasonable for a military drone or I guess a delivery drone, but damn!
no there are drones now that can apply herbicides and fertilizers. This will really start to expand into ag and forestry applications, esp in areas that are hard to get to.

There are drones now that can drop pellets on cedar and get into canyons or on hill slopes that are hard for helos or ground rigs to get to

If someone was planting a nuke for later use, they would likely be smart enough to make sure it was shielded from detection.

Also, WC-135s would be completely useless to find an undetonated nuke. Their job is to look for and collect evidence from a detonation.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I see all of those as drones big enough to deliver large payloads.

More importantly, if we were really looking for an undetonated WMD, we would have these things flying 24/7, not just at night for a few hours. This theory makes zero sense.

Well at least the military is not using predator drones over US cities.

Was just coming here to say I was listening to Bongino just now while running an errand and he said he thought they were from abroad and coming in from the ocean. Had a clip of a congressman from NJ who was on the beach last night talking to a boat captain who said he was follwed by 15-30 of them while driving his boat.

If it's Iranians, it's nice of them to leave the lights on for others to see the drones.

I think that was a green light for the .308 to get some target practice.

ETA: Not me. I would never use a firearm in such a irresponsible way. So scratch my name off that list.

Been watching this story for last few days… curious if anyone has any thoughts? Doesn't seem like anyone including FBI has a clue…

amazing that some have been claiming these were Chinese or iranian drones and

the USG was like "that's just crazy talk!!"

Right now, the government is treating all of us like we're stupid.

The word from local, state and federal agencies is that no one knows who the drones belong to... that's bull*****

You want to find out who owns them? Take one down.

Everyone should listen to the Bongino podcast from his 10am show today. He covers this topic. Brings up a strong point.

An Iranian boat in the Atlantic Ocean is the "mothership". Not a drone.

I know that. A mothership for drones can also be called a drone mothership

Pentagon press briefing on right now

https://www.youtube.com/live/Lltd9rhNiEs

I'll update periodically with some notes:

  • These are NOT US military
  • Local LE is investigating (No federal implication?)
  • NOT foreign assets
  • Firmly denied Iranian mothership or drones theory. Absolutely a solid no
  • Once again asked what these are. Cannot even say if these are even drones vs small planes
  • But CAN say no threats to installations or civilians
  • Also says that local military commanders DO have authority and capability to defend their bases if need be. Interesting...
  • Follow up Q of if unable to even identify even what they are how can say if threat or not. Punted again with "initial assessment of no threat" with blank stare like questioner was the one who was stupid.
  • Done

I refer you to my comment on a previous thread only two months ago. 3-5 years might have been too optimistic.


Credible threats in the U.S.?

The family farm has one. Had to be delivered from Texas to Iowa by trailer. Hylio's biggest model carries 18 gallons of herbicide/fertilizer.

Times have changed.

So not a foreign adversary and not US military. What else is there? Private company, US intelligence, extraterritorial, or inter-dimensional entities?

After listening to Bongino, the Press Secretary and the Congressman - it's clear that America is being lied to by our elected officials.

There are plenty hunters in New Jersey/Pennsylvania area. Surely, there's someone up there with the right power and the right kind of thermal scope to bring one (or more) down.

This has got to be our spooks. Probably some kind of exercise or something. Those liars in Washington know exactly what is going on.

Iran simply does not have this capability. They cannot accurately target a ballistic missile and their air force is barely capable of flight. They have no deep water ships unless they have joined up with Russia or China to borrow one.
