Unidentified drones over NJ/NY/DC

[Anonymous]

Why would enemy drones have flashing lights, drawing attention to them?

It’s the Chinese.

ICYMI: the Chinese have been building a footprint in the nearby Caribbean for many years. They have real estate and access to ports (making it easy to ship things in and out). They’ve quietly been buying up grocery stores in the ABC islands, a stones throw from Venezuela.

In addition to the linked article by a pp regarding the Chinese man recently arrested for flying a drone near a military base, there are reports of NJ law enforcement sending a drone to follow a number of large drones that came from the ocean.

I’m convinced it’s the Chinese and they are nearby in the Caribbean…striking distance, really.

Federal investigators arrested a 39-year-old man this week after accusing him of flying a drone and taking pictures of Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, an arrest that comes amid other high-profile drone swarms at U.S. military bases.

Yinpiao Zhou, a 39-year-old Chinese citizen and U.S. resident, was arrested Monday at San Francisco International Airport prior to an outbound flight to China, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said in a news release. He had most recently returned to the U.S. from China this past February, the office added.

Space X launches one rocket a week from Vandenberg. In total Elon Musk’s Space X has launched over 100 rockets from there often carrying multiple starlink satellites providing satellites to over 100 countries and satellites for the military.

I am surprised this isn’t bigger news.

It’s certainly newsworthy, but the East coast drones cannot be him or spies like him. Read the article, he concealed the drone under his jacket…. This is a regular drone. On the East coast they are talking about drones the size of a small car.

Again, why would the Chinese light up all these drones, flying them just at night, for all to see? Somebody earlier said those of us who say they are airplanes should watch the news. First of all, what a waste of time, watchng clueless people read news--then of course, we have CNN reporters faking an entire "rescue" from a Syrian prison. With that said, I have watched a bit, and have certainly read, and in almost every video I have seen, you know what I see? Airplanes. With their nighttime nav lights on. You know what I haven't seen? This video of 50 or more drones flying in from the ocean, all at once. Why don't you go so some research of your own and see just how many planes fly in over the New Jersey on their way to JFK and LaGuardia? It's many dozens. They are airplanes. The government isn't saying anything because their flummoxed by the reports. I did see one military expert on one of the channels who said, yeah, some of these are probably some commercial drones, but then went through video after video with the anchor and was like, " airplane, airplane, airplane, okay, maybe a drone. Airplane, airplane." Seriously, get a grip people.

Here's an example, go to NJ Senator Andy Kim's X account. He has a whole thread of these "drones." And everything he follows claiming to be drones are quite clearly commercial airliners. He claims he saw "maneuveurs," but yet shows only typical airplanes on their flight paths. These planes are flying very high and people are simply witnessing parallax. Now everybody is telling people to shoot them down. They are airplanes.

Some are planes. Some are drones. If another country is sending unmanned craft to spy on us, why use the FAA-mandated lights? And, how much can they even see at night? That’s ridiculous. I bet a few teens are having a big laugh at all the drone hysteria, and launched their own.

This is hysteria. I hope nobody gets killed.

Do you think Larry Hogan is just making it up too?

Wow - reading through this thread is like a modern day version of War of the Worlds. The hysteria and blaming is a black hole of lunacy.

[Anonymous]

It's reached the level of mass hysteria at this point.

Google news reports earlier this year announcing Chinese mega drone factories in Saudi Arabia. Read the reports about how China is winning the drone tech race and what they’ve developed.

ICYMI: their camera tech even in the dark is amazing.

Chinese drone technology commercially is at least ten years ahead of the US. Probably more in the military. I used to work in an adjacent industry.

The fact that we haven't makes me think they are domestic, probably DoD/IC skunk works of some kind.

But if they are ours, why would they conduct testing in such an irresponsible manner that is consuming huge amounts of domestic resources from the local police to the FBI to our own politicians in govt? These drones have been reported to have disrupted medical transport and have been followed by black hawk helicopters. They have been hovering over our own military bases, and those bases have said they aren't conducting tests.

It stinks to high heaven like it is a hostile nation state.

Because when you do Beta testing, things go wrong. They could not test them in the Nevada desert forever. They are seeing how they operate in urban areas.

It's very perplexing. These are clearly not drone hobbyists. And there's no chance the Russians or the Chinese have naval vessels off the Eastern seaboard launching drones. And these drones are big enough to take out a power plant. Yet the Biden Administration is letting them fly. When you are the lead story on CNN, you are well past beta testing.

It's mystifying why they are not shot down. I get bullets and missiles that miss have to fall down somewhere, and that's dangerous for civilians. But still, over water or farm fields or state parks and so on is well within our capabilities.

I really don't get what the Biden Administration is doing. These things are flying over Langley and other sensitive bases. And... no response. Except to tell everyone there are no worries. Which fine, but why test something in the most populated corner of America when it's going to be the lead story on cable news every hour?

It's all very bizarre. I suspect the Biden Administration doesn't know and doesn't care anymore. They are checked out and sleepwalking to January 20th.

Bingo.

Trump receives briefings. If it’s such an emergency, how come your great leader says nothing?

I don't like going on Truth Social. But his statement is "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!!!"

I'm with Trump here.

If he doesn’t understand the briefings he is receiving, that is worrisome.

Why do you think he’s receiving any honest briefings?
