OK, I wrote a post on this yesterday, but it's time for a New Jersey drones thread with some of the evidence I've been collecting from afar. If you want to know what's going on, start here. 🧵👇
For weeks, UFO sightings have been increasing. The strangest, most persistent manifestation of this phenomenon is happening in New Jersey, where hundreds of sightings of strange, large “drones” disguised to look like commercial aircraft are flying around every night.
They fly low and slow, over residential neighborhoods and sensitive installations and even military bases. Drones that broadcast no flight information as required by law. Drones that stay in the air for hours, which typical drones cannot do.
Lest you think this is just a big misunderstanding, Law Enforcement in New Jersey is concerned - and stumped:
Whoever is behind this, they seem totally unconcerned about being photographed and filmed, which makes it highly unlikely that they are secret military or defense industry tech.
Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey related to Congress this week how a US Coast Guard Boat was followed by dozens of these things, with no idea what they were and no authorization to engage:
The FBI is investigating, but they have no idea what they're dealing with:
The Governor of New Jersey had a small press briefing earlier this week, wherein he said these drones pose no danger to the public, before admitting he knows nothing about them and that they go dark any time a pilot approaches them.
You don't know, but sure they're safe??
People have tried to fly their own private drones to get a better look, only to experience weird battery failures:
Another drone pilot with an unexplained dead battery when he tried to approach:
The Mayor of Belleville, NJ, says there was a briefing for 500 mayors in which they were told...we have no idea what they are and are having trouble tracking or approaching them.
Congressman Jeff Van Drew of NJ went on Fox news and said highly placed sources told him that these are Chinese made drones being used by Iran, which is launching them from a "mothership" off the east coast.
The Pentagon quickly said this was wrong:
In fact, the Pentagon said that these are a) not US military drones and b) not the drones of any known foreign entity or adversary.
Which doesn't leave many options.
Look how quickly a private drone is taken down when it attempts to fly over Area 51. Do we really think the US military can't take down privately-owned drones?

🧵THREAD: Why are "FAA-Approved Drones" Disrupting Restricted Airspace? Why can't anyone tell us who is controlling them, and for what purpose?
The White House, via @PressSec, wants us to believe the video below is the truth. It isn't. Keep reading and I'll show you why 👇
1st, it was actually the FAA that SHUT DOWN NJ airspace to drones.
In Dec., FAA imposed drone flight restriction across of NJ due to persistent mystery drone reports over civilian & military areas. It lasted from Dec 18, 2024 to January 17, 2025.
For "FAA-approved" drones??
Military bases have been on high alert: It's strange that "FAA-approved" drones would spook US military bases. It's even stranger that they'd cause problems at bases overseas, since the FAA has no jurisdiction there. But a number of sensitive sites are having drone issues👇
I'm supposed to be leaving to finish Christmas shopping for the kids, but I can't stop thinking about what is going on in our skies. At 4:41AM, my 15yo son woke up to a drone hovering in our yard, level with his window.
He said it "looked at him." Let me explain:🧵👇
My son is a bit of an insomniac. He was trying to sleep, but couldn't, and then noticed light and noise coming in from outside. Not airplane noise. "Like a car" he said. So he got up to look and he sees a drone. He said it was large, but hard to estimate the size of. 👇
On first seeing it, he didn't even think to grab his phone, he was just trying to figure out what he was looking at. He said it was hovering over our yard, about level with his window on the second floor. Maybe a little higher. It flew to the side and around the house, then...
🚨 BIG DRONE/UAP THREAD WITH LATEST BREAKING UPDATES/VIDEO:
A month into the drone debacle, the geographic area and significance of the sightings has only increased. Let's break it down so you can be up to date on all the latest! 🧵👇
The White House has been assuring us that the drones were a non-issue. "Lawful and legal" drone flights was how White House National Security Communications Advisor Admiral John Kirby described it to @BretBaier just a few days ago:
So a funny thing has been happening with the drone story.
None of the official stories make sense.
Local elected officials and law enforcement are saying it’s a real, serious problem. Police say the drones don’t emit heat signatures & easily evade them. 🧵👇
Multiple sensitive military sights have gotten overflights. Picatinny Arsenal has confirmed at least 11 sightings. Naval Weapons Station Earle had to activate their de-droning equipment. But that's not all. An even bigger event happened last night...
Wright-Patterson is the latest to report overflights (which has its own special significance in UAP lore). Last night, they had to close their airspace because of the amount of “UAS activity” (UAS = “unmanned aerial system”) over the base. Listen:
All you fans of the 1938 Orson Welles broadcast of the War of the Worlds, as well as the 1953 film that followed, know this: the town of Grover’s Mill, New Jersey, will forever be etched in our minds as the location where the Martians began their reign of terror. 🧵👇
When news reports of the real-life anomalous drones over New Jersey first broke a week or two ago, my mind immediately returned to the War of the Worlds broadcast. It was almost too perfect. Too on the nose. The part of my brain that’s always...
...trying to write science fiction stories pinged my consciousness with the thought that perhaps there were non-human intelligences behind these drones, and that maybe they were hoping to trigger a cultural memory that many humans have already forgotten.
