It begins at night—always at night. Residents across New Jersey have been witnessing something straight out of science fiction: vehicle-sized drones flying low over neighborhoods, their navigational lights flashing like signals in the darkness. At first, people thought they were planes, maybe helicopters. But these machines don’t behave like either. They hover, stop mid-flight, and dart sideways with precision before rocketing into the sky at unimaginable speeds.
“It’s kind of unsettling,” said Mike Walsh, a Randolph resident who has seen the drones numerous times. “Some are very big, probably the size of a car.” (Source: Yahoo News)
From Middletown to Lakewood, witnesses describe the same chilling scenes: drones performing gravity-defying maneuvers over suburban rooftops. Another local, identified as Read, described the drones’ nocturnal patterns: “One is stationary, the others are in and out of the tree line. It’s strange. They’re out there for hours, never during the day.” (Source: People Magazine)
Adding to the mystery, U.S. Representative Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ made a provocative claim during a recent interview: “These drones are Iranian. They’re coming from a mothership positioned off our coast, and they’re being deployed in clusters.”
The statement triggered an immediate response from Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary. Singh unequivocally denied the allegation, stating: “These drones are not Iranian, nor is there any mothership positioned off the U.S. coast. These are not foreign assets.”
Meanwhile, John Kirby, White House National Security Communications Adviser, sought to downplay the sightings entirely, claiming: “What people are seeing are likely just regular manned airplanes. There’s no evidence to suggest anything unusual.” Kirby’s dismissive remarks have only added to the public’s frustration and speculation.
The FBI has issued a public plea for help in identifying these UAVs, urging residents to report sightings. However, this move appears less about genuine investigation and more about assessing public perception of these mysterious vehicles.
“One of our police officers working for the sheriff chronicled 50 drones coming from the ocean onto land—50!” said U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ), emphasizing the scale of the activity during a recent briefing.
