So the NJSP, FBI, and NJ Homeland Security don't know shit other than there's something out there. And the military can detect a pocket sized drone, yet the pentagon says they don't know shit either. It all adds up...
You are now on a list my friend.

I’m scared that watching this will wreck my algorithm

Ok this is much less ridiculous than the title makes it sound, but I’m not sure they would be legit testing this in our own airspace. But WTF do I know, I’m also just a guy in the words of @shrpshtr325
Ok, so if you read that whole tweet, her notes.....Contradicts what Bergen is saying in that video....no story about a SP helicopter actually seeing/following anything. Now if we had any actually news reporters anymore, maybe someone would go back to Bergen today and ask him if he would care to revise his bullshit story.
I'll tell you just from personal experience based on what I do for a living... I would be shocked .... The military tests things in far off quiet places.. Yuma Arizona, dugway Utah, Nevada, northern California, etc... Over nj with the amount of air traffic we have and houses everywhere, I highly doubt it..
Well not necessarily.... Military has several large fixed wing drones, reaper, global hawk...some long endurance drones like K1000ULE that have a big wingspan, etc
Meantime back at the funny farm
o good, im not the only one that noticed the contradictions to previous reports.
yea the military wont be testing a/c over NJ, thats for damn sure too many people/too much property to damage if something does go wrong.
to my knowledge none of these long endurance units are electric, they all have some sort of combustion powered engine on board, which means LOUD, you WILL hear them if they were loitering at the altitudes being claimed (especially if they are flying below radar visibility, which would mean they are wayyy low)
nope, definitely NOT a plane, 0.0000% chance that any of the mentioned units are passenger jets going to newark/lga/jfk/philly . . . . . 🙄

“It doesn’t seem to be bothered by a spotlight”
That’s because you can’t hear the pilot saying “what is that asshole doing down there?”
What you can hear is the fucking jet engines going overhead.
Glad I’m not flying anytime soon, now people will be shining all kinds of shit at airplanes on their approach.
So there are a few electric ones.....Like the RQ-20 puma, and the Puma LE....usually large wings, the fly slowy but can loiter for hours depending on how much time the operator is using the camera
I'll tell you...I have seen one of these in person flying...full week, 8 hrs a day.....IN BROAD DAYLIGHT...at 1000' AGL.(it can fly up to 10,000ft)..25knots ground spd...even knowing roughly where it was in the sky, its almost impossible to see....And you can't hear it. At night? you wouldnt know its up there...which is kind of the point 🙂
Thats certainly not these huge glowing lights in the sky

Didn't read all 10 pages of the MTBNJ banter but yes, I'll chime in since I have seen them over the farm here in Franklin, well below Morristown / Teterboro / Newark / JFK flight paths. Everyone is now a drone expert just like they were on COVID, GAZA, Spy balloons, train derailments and whatever else.
Yes, I use Flight Radar daily (for years before this whole drone thing) & also grew up at West Chester Airport so I am familiar with all types of smaller aircraft, private jet and commercial jet shapes and engine noises.
Yes, what I saw in the air are NOT airplanes. They don't move like airplanes nor sound like them.
They don't scare me but the saddest part is if I took my personal drone with an FAA license over Picatinny, I'd have them knocking on my door tomorrow. Yet we are supposed to believe our government doesn't know who or what they are and FAA is clueless... how stupid do they think we are? OR it proves we are the most UN-secure country in the world.
Back in the woods I go!
