The Wall Street Journal - What Are These Drones Doing Over New Jersey? A Closer Look at the Mystery | WSJ
The video highlights a series of mysterious drone sightings in the New Jersey suburbs, where residents have reported seeing large, unidentified flying objects at night. These drones are described as loud and capable of flying in various directions. Despite investigations by state and federal officials, including the Pentagon, there is no evidence that these drones pose a credible threat or are linked to any foreign entities. Experts categorize the sightings into two types: quadcopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Some residents have captured footage of these drones, which experts have confirmed as likely being drones. The drones reportedly fly for 6 to 7 hours at night, often coming from over the water, and are sophisticated enough to go dark when spotted. Despite numerous reports, many sightings are believed to be manned aircraft rather than drones. The White House and local authorities have not corroborated any threats from these sightings, but the mystery remains unsolved, with similar sightings reported across the country.
