I will respectfully disagree ...... I think the safest thing we all can do at this point is to go as far beyong anxiety and panic as possible. We seem to do best as a nation when filled with superstition, delusions, and with an increased level of violence. Maybe the incoming president will tell us what country Saudi Arabia wants us to bomb. Or ask Putin for help.

This is not like stuff before. These are drones in groups, and not something that's been around.
And no, I don't think they're aliens.

.... I live very close to a major east coast airport. At night, and even during the day, an airplane moving at a distance towards or away from the observer appears to hover in one place. If it is moving at a slight angle, it appears to move slowly horizontally. At night, with just some lights as reference, depth perception is not reliable.

The "good" thing about aliens is that, being otherworldly, they can do strange things for no reason at all. But for drones, human agents are involved. They have to have a reason or a motive to do something out of the ordinary.

I can't really think of a reason for anyone to fly dozens of car sized drones around aimlessly in multiple locations up and down the east coast every night for weeks or months on end. What's your idea why someone would do this?

Oh, and they can keep him too and take the kids!

They absolutely were hovering.

We lived close to an airport too & it's eerie to see, until you get used to it. The other thing people don't think about is how light reflects off so many surfaces & seems to bounce around. We had a weird light in our bedroom & figured out the sun was hitting a car down the street & it reflected onto the back of a metal street sign & into our window.

Or holiday events. This a possibly a prelude to something.

Maybe just field or farm, maybe a factory. A mile or so south of the freeway.

They looked like a school of fish--reflective and moving in synchrony, doing aerobatics. Now moving as a block, now streaming in unison or splitting in multiple streams before reuniting.

Very distracting to any driver that noticed them. But nothing suspicious. Just curious.

any moron can own one, and some can evem learn to fly them.

consumer grade drones.

.... if they are car sized drones, why would anyone be flying dozens of them around at night, aimlessly, in multiple locations up and down the east coast? Every night for weeks, maybe a few months on end?

It sounds rediculess to me. There isn't any point to it.

They were not 6 feet though.

Are they a new species of bird. And I am sure in hell not a UFO person.

.... I can only go by what I have seen myself, seen in videos and pictures, and my common sense.

It doesn't seem reasonable that some one or some organization would be flying car sized drones, a dozen of them at a time, up and down the East coast, in multiple locations, every night for weeks, maybe months on end. What would be the purpose of this?

Doing so would cost a whole lot lot of money, it would take hundreds of people, and it would involve a lot of obvious ground based infrastructure. If it were even possible to keep such an endeavor secret, what would you get out of it? Some sensationalistic news stories? It doesn't make any sense at all.

blaming it on Biden....



I really should have gotten myself a Chinese drone source, and started selling them on Truth Social...

I might have "made a killing"

Why didn’t you tell us! It sounds like there are tons of 6 foot apparatuses flying around in NJ! They have to cost big bucks! I haven’t seen any drones near any of the airports I’ve been to in the last few months. I’ve stayed at hotels next to O’Hare and the Atlanta airport and never saw or heard any. I’m not sure about there being any UFO’s but I wouldn’t make any large bets against it (maybe a small bet). Glad I haven’t flown into NY or NJ lately. I was on a plane that flew into some geese and that almost crashed us! The only drone I’ve seen lately was my neighbors little drone that they flew over us girls at the pool.

When the USSR was dissolved in late 1991, there was a sudden surge in "UFO sightings" there. The same in the US in the 50's coinciding with the "red scare." It seems to be something that happens throughout history when there's a big shift in geopolitics or society in general.

In this case, maybe it has something to do with the election, since it seems to have started shortly after that.

And a bit of paranoia mixed in with valid concerns.

It helps for the left to think that Russia's somehow involved. Or incels. Or some other enemy group that stands in the way of rightness and good.

And for the right, to think that maybe Russia or more likely China is involved. Helps that recently a Chinese national was stopped leaving with a bunch of secrets (whether industrial, governmental/political or governmental/research, I forget). Or that drones could be fitted for electronic eavesdropping, a la Ukraine.

The most intriguingly undoubtedly wrong suspicion is that there's some secret (meaning 'we don't know about it') intel about radiologic materials being assembled in New Jersey and it's Homeland Security using radiation detectors to find it to stop the "next" Islamic/Russian/Iranian (pick your enemy du jour) mass attack.

Or maybe it's just that drones are cheaper and more advanced than ever and a lot of people want easily accessible fairly open spaces without apts. and backyards to fly over, and in some places that means US installations of some sort.

For the likes of me, why isn't she out there shooting them down with her Jewish Space Laser?

Hopelessly stupid and getting more so every day.

The drone story has really drawn a line under that. Most sightings are quite obviously airplanes. I doubt you could find many people walking down the street who could articulate the difference.

The drone story appears to be bringing the country together through stupidity and ignorance.

and find something else to do.

Idiots.

Witches in the 17th century and Communists under their beds in the 50s.

Some people just enjoy being scared of stuff.

That's my bet. People are starting to pay attention to the crap that is going down, even with the failure of media to report clearly.

Barbaro. Balloon boy. That fucking gorilla.

Yeah, I don’t know why. I just know it happens.
