What’s going on in New Jersey and other parts of the East Coast? We are hearing of mysterious drone flights over communities and military installations, which the government cannot confirm.
Earlier this week, New Jersey State Senator Jon Bramnick stated:
The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.”
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy voiced his own concerns as well to President Biden, stating:
While I am sincerely grateful for your administration’s leadership in addressing this concerning issue, it has become apparent that more resources are needed to fully understand what is behind this activity.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it knows nothing at this point, stating:
The public can continue to call our 800 line, or submit a tip online, we are acting on every substantive lead that we get.
And, always helpful, Donald Trump has joined the chorus, stating:
Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country,…Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I (don’t) think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, (shoot) them down!
As noted, this mystery covers other parts of the East Coast, including Maryland and Virginia. So is this another Chinese balloon-like incident, teenage pranksters, or something more targeted against U.S. interests?
With drones doing heavy damage in Ukraine, Russia, and the Middle East, we are no longer talking about toys. It just represents another wave of space technology causing us to look up with fear, not unlike the Cold War, which gave us plenty of other UFO scares.
We should know soon enough what is happening, but it demonstrates again the risks related to the militarization of our airspace. It starts low to the ground and goes as high as our most sensitive satellites, representing a renewed threat to all the satellites and aircraft assisting with astronomy.
Keep looking up, but hold off on shooting them down until we know more.
