Federal Officials Will Deploy High-Tech System To New York After Drones Shut Down Airport, Governor Says

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that the federal government will send a “a state-of-the-art drone detection system” to her state after a number of drone sightings across New York and New Jersey in recent days.

While she did not elaborate on the system that will be deployed, it “will support state and federal law enforcement in their investigations,” she said in a statement on the morning of Dec. 15.

“I am grateful for the support, but we need more. Congress must pass a law that will give us the power to deal directly with the drones,” the governor wrote on social media platform X around the same time. She urged Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act that will give states “the authority and resources required to respond to circumstances like we face today.”

It’s not clear whether the federal government sent a similar system to New Jersey, where most of the drone sightings have occurred, or in other states. Over the weekend, swarms of drones were spotted in other states along the East Coast, including Maryland.

INVASION OF THE DRONES: Breaking: The Truth Behind the Mystery Drones Over New Jersey—A Government Operation and a PSYOP

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.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio Shuts Down Airspace After Mysterious Drone Incursions

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of America’s most vital military installations, faced an unsettling breach of its airspace over the weekend, reigniting concerns about the security of critical U.S. defense facilities.

Mysterious drones buzzed over the Ohio base, forcing the temporary closure of its Class Delta airspace late Friday night and into Saturday morning, The War Zone first reported.

The base, home to the Air Force Research Lab, Air Force Material Command, and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, is a cornerstone of U.S. military operations. Its cutting-edge research and intelligence missions make it a prime target for espionage or malicious activity.

On the night of December 13-14, 2024, Wright-Patterson AFB experienced significant Unidentified Aerial System (UAS) activity, requiring the closure of Class Delta airspace.

Air traffic control issued warnings and instructions to aircraft, including a medical flight (Med Flight 8), to exercise extreme caution and maintain higher altitudes to avoid the drones.

Yet, according to base spokesman Bob Purtiman, the origin of the drones remains unidentified, and their intentions are officially deemed “not malicious.”

“I can confirm small aerial systems were spotted over Wright Patterson between Friday night and Saturday morning,” base spokesman Bob Purtiman told The War Zone on Sunday.

“Today leaders have determined that they did not impact base residents, facilities, or assets. The Air Force is taking all appropriate measures to safeguard our installations and residents,” he added.

He continued that the drones “ranged in sizes and configurations. Our units are working with local authorities to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets.”

New Theory: NJ Drone Sightings May Be “Nuclear Sniffers” Following Elevated NYC Radiation Levels

The founder of an aerospace company specializing in military-grade drones published a video on the Chinese social media platform TikTok, sharing his thoughts on the mystery drone sightings in New Jersey. His expert opinion is alarming, leaving many wishing that Paul Krugman’s theory about an alien invasion was true instead.

“I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago, who was trying to raise the alarm to the highest levels of our government … about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on … that was left over from Ukraine … and he knew this thing was headed towards the United States,” Saxon Aerospace’s John Ferguson stated in the video.

He continued: “Everyone knows that this administration is pushing to get into war with Russia.”

“Let’s back up a few years … remember when those drones were mysteriously flying across I-70 from Colorado to Nebraska to Kansas and then to Missouri? Well, it was believed that those drones were looking for radioactive material that came up missing in the US,” Ferguson noted. 

Ferguson then explained the various payloads drones can support, such as laser sensors and optics, and he added, “Drones have no reason to fly at night… Because they don’t see shit. Unless you have thermal optics – drones really don’t see stuff at night – mapping must be done during the day.” 

Ferguson then segued into the purported drone sightings in New Jersey, noting, “These drones are not nefarious in intent … but if they’re drones – the only reason they would be flying – and flying that low at night – is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.” 

“My belief is that these drones are trying to smell something on the ground – if that’s gas leaks or radioactive material – or whatever.”

The Great Big Drone Psyop – Who Is Running the UAV Invasion, and Why?

As America eagerly awaits the upcoming inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47th US President, it is now under a second invasion: after the mass illegal hordes, the mysterious drones.

The first basic question in everyone’s mind is: who is doing this?

There are two major possibilities: they are either US military/Space Force drones, or else they are foreign, potentially enemy craft. (For me, the ‘alien’ origin in this case can be completely discarded.)

Given the fact that the US has not unleashed its assets to deter this phenomenon – that started over New Jersey but now has spread all over the land – the explanation that makes more sense is that it’s American drones.

I find it hard to believe that even treasonous Biden regime lackeys would sit idly while Iranian or Russian or someone else’s drones wreak havoc in the Republic.

Here’s Why We Can’t Trust the Biden Administration Over ‘Drone-Gate’

Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, recently appeared on CNN to address the growing concern over the mysterious drone sightings across New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and near Washington, D.C. His comments, however, were a striking display of government ineffectiveness. When Wolf Blitzer pressed him on what Americans should make of the sightings, Mayorkas repeated the same dismissive response: “We have not seen anything unusual. We know of no threat or of any nefarious activity.” Rather than addressing the concerns with urgency, Mayorkas suggested that many sightings were “mistaken identity,” implying that people were confusing drones with small aircraft, and blamed multiple reports of the same drone for inflating the problem.

Mayorkas seemed focused on downplaying the situation and ignoring legitimate concerns of the public. He mentioned that experts have been in touch with the New Jersey State Police “every day,” and boasted of deploying “state-of-the-art technology” to confirm drone activity. Yet he admitted, “That’s not to say that there aren’t drones, you know, flying in the air, but we have no concern at this point with respect to a threat or any nefarious activity.”

Mayorkas continued, “The reality is you can have a 15-year-old kid who buys a drone off the shelf and puts it up in the sky. We have not seen drones turn their lights off in the dark. We have not seen drones penetrate restricted airspace. Those are two indicia that would give us a cause for concern.”

Does anyone believe this is caused by some kid with a store-bought drone? Mayorkas himself doesn’t seem to have a clue, either; he’s just trying to convince the public that nothing sinister is going on. But, clearly, they don’t know one way or the other, and if the government cannot determine what is flying above some of the nation’s most densely populated and strategically important areas, how can they claim there’s no threat?

NJ Drone ‘Invasion’ Just In Time For Congress To Reauthorize Orwellian Law

A series of drone sightings over New Jersey that began in mid-November has left residents and lawmakers spooked about the possibility of foreign adversaries breaching US airspace with drone swarms. While officials have attempted to reassure the public, some lawmakers have stoked fear, leading to widespread panic on social media, with people interpreting anything moving in the night sky as a potential drone (even commercial jets and stars). 

Days ago, the FBI and the US Homeland Security Department released a statement indicating, “We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” 

“Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity, where reported drones are, in fact, manned aircraft,” the federal agencies said. 

White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said many of the purported drone sightings are commercial jets with no evidence of a national security or public safety threat. 

If actual ‘truck-sized’ drones (some say Iranian origin) were flying in some of the world’s most restricted airspace, let’s use common sense—the Pentagon would have scrambled F-22s and F-35s on the East Coast almost immediately. Since that hasn’t happened (as far as we know), we can’t help but be suspicious about the whole drone situation. Additionally, no private satellite data shows that Iranian drone carriers are parked off the coast; in fact, these vessels are located 7,500 miles away.

Let’s take a step back and review some of Elon Musk’s tweets on X:

  • Sept. 30: “Drone swarm battles are coming that will boggle the mind” 
  • Sept. 29: “Epic drone wars coming” 
  • Jan. 5, 2023: “The Drone Wars are already a big deal, but we ain’t seen nothing yet …” 

What did Elon know ahead of time?

Sheriff Says 50 Mysterious Drones Spotted Coming Off the Ocean Before ‘They Vanished Into Thin Air’

A New Jersey sheriff claimed Friday that a swarm of 50 large drones flew in from the ocean, but soon “vanished into thin air” after the Coast Guard tried to intercept them.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy told News Nation that Coast Guard officers reported being followed by over 50 drones coming off the water, with some flying as low as 300 feet above them.

News Nation reporter Rich McHugh said he was initially skeptical about the drone story, but had a change of heart after seeing some of the drones for himself, which he said was “more sophisticated than I ever imagined.”

“I got to be honest here. When this story first came out a few weeks ago, as a resident of New Jersey and as a journalist, I didn’t pay it much credence. I thought it would turn out to be a bunch of pranksters, and this would all be over by now. The experience I had last night, however, changed how I feel about this story completely. What I saw was more sophisticated than I ever imagined,” McHugh said.

McHugh explained that he and his crew saw “40 or 50” drones that were about “8 to 10 feet wide” with “colorful, white blinking lights.”

“We’ve been looking for the past hour. I think we’ve seen about 40 or 50 of these drones. In fact, there’s one over my shoulder right there,” he said.

GASLIGHTING: DHS Sec. Mayorkas Downplays Drone Sightings, Says Feds ‘Can’t Shoot’ Them Down

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas downplayed the reports of drone sightings across New Jersey and elsewhere and claimed that the government can’t unilaterally shoot them out of the sky amid calls by President-elect Donald Trump and others to do just that.

In an appearance on CNN’s “The Situation Room” Friday, Mayorkas claimed the drones pose “no threat” and are “not nefarious,” and insisted that many of the sightings are just mistaken for “small aircraft” and commercially available drones operated by teenagers.

“What can you say to those Americans who are deeply concerned right now about all these sightings over New Jersey and New York, here and outside of Washington, D.C., in Maryland?” host Wolf Blitzer asked.

“Let me calm those nerves. We have not seen anything unusual,” Mayorkas responded. “We have not seen any unusual activity. We know of no threat. We know of no nefarious activity. I want to repeat that. We have not seen anything unusual. We know of no threat or of any nefarious activity.”

NJ Mayor: Officials Warned Us to Call Bomb Squad & Wear HAZMAT if Drone Crashes, Like It’s an Attack

New Jersey’s Belleville Mayor Michael Melham said the state gave guidance that if a drone is downed “we’re immediately to call the bomb squad of our county” and that “our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear HAZMAT suits” like it’s an attack on the homeland.

“On the way here, I was on the phone with my OEM team and we now have guidance coming from the state. And that guidance does say two different things. First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we’re immediately to call the bomb squad of our county, and, second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear HAZMAT suits,” Melham said Friday on Fox News’ “Faulkner Focus.”

Host Harris Faulkner asked for clarification over whether such a incident is treated more as an attack rather than an accident like a plane crash.

“So, if something falls out of the sky that people have seen…you’re to treat this [like] more than a plane crash, it’s treated like an attack on the homeland?” she asked.

Melham replied, “That is correct, because they’re not quite sure if there’s a payload or not, and that’s what we were told during our briefing on Wednesday.”

Later, he added that “it sounds like it might very well be our highest-level government, it might be government assets that are being deployed as a countermeasure.”
