Drone swarms are infesting certain states in America and despite claims of “nothing to fear”, in the absence of answers, fear flourishes. Aliens? US military tech? CCP incursion? Blue Beam warmup? Here’s some news on the situation. MH
I’m a UFO researcher from New Jersey. The drone situation is out of control.

This is a disturbing situation, which is why we, as citizens, must demand that the Pentagon release more information to both Congress and the American people.
Last week, a neighbor sent me a video of a car-size aircraft silently hovering over a nearby neighborhood, its green and red lights flashing in the night. It was one of many messages I’ve received over the last two weeks about an alarming number of unidentified objects flying over Somerset County, N.J., where I live with my wife and daughter.
As a UFO researcher for over a decade, I’m being asked by friends, family, and neighbors to explain what’s happening in our community. While I don’t have all the answers (and neither does the FBI, which is currently investigating), I try to reassure people that there’s likely nothing to fear. Gov. Phil Murphy offered a similar message on Thursday, posting on X, “There is no known threat to the public at this time.”
But the truth is, I am concerned — and I’m also searching for answers.
Elected officials, who should have clarity on these vexing objects, appear just as perplexed as the rest of us. Sen. Mark Warner, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told journalist Matt Laslo on Dec. 4 that he is “gravely concerned” not knowing what’s flying in America’s skies.
My concerns, like Sen. Warner’s, extend beyond the airspace above suburbs in the Garden State. Similar sightings have been reported in recent years near U.S. military and nuclear facilities in Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Virginia, and off the coast of California. But even outside of the U.S., drone incursions remain an American problem. Just weeks ago, U.S. military bases in the U.K were on high alert as swarms of unidentified aircraft breached sensitive airspace.
These incidents follow a troubling pattern: dozens of aircraft varying in size and shape, emitting bright lights, and persisting for days or weeks. After years of such events around U.S. sites equipped with the most advanced sensors available, you’d think the military could offer some answers to ease public concern.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. When asked about progress in addressing these incursions during a Dec. 5 news conference, Department of Defense spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder declined to comment.
This lack of transparency is unnerving. Unknown craft are flying over my community and sensitive U.S. facilities worldwide. Last week, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor reminded us that failures to identify aircraft and effectively share information can lead to tragic results. Providing answers shouldn’t be deferred, leaving residents worrying what’s flying above our heads.
Some officials call them drones or unmanned aircraft systems, implying known technology or origin, while others refer to them as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), suggesting something completely unknown.This distinction between what’s known and unknown is critical, as each presents unique challenges requiring tailored solutions.
During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Nov. 19, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) indicated some of these incursions are from unidentified anomalous phenomena:
“Number one, we don’t have domain awareness, which is very problematic. Number two, we don’t have domain superiority if we don’t understand how different UAPs are flying, what technology they’re using, what their mission is, what their purpose is. And at the base level, we have so many UAPs around our bases, around our military sites, around our nuclear sites, that it’s deeply disturbing.”
This is a disturbing situation, which is why we, as citizens, must demand that the Pentagon release more information to both Congress and the American people.
In September, I spent two days visiting the offices of members of Congress in Washington to promote the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act, a bipartisan effort led by Sen. Mike Rounds (R., S.D.) and cosponsored by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. The bill seeks to compel federal agencies to disclose their findings on unidentified anomalous phenomena to Congress and the public.
I acknowledge that national security implications must be considered before sharing sensitive intelligence information with the public. Revealing what we know — or don’t know — about these objects could risk tipping our hand to adversaries.
But when unidentified aircraft are penetrating our defenses and arriving at our doorsteps with impunity, it’s time for the Pentagon to show its cards. As citizens, we deserve the truth. And we’re prepared to handle it.

Sun, 08 Dec 2024Mysterious drones have now been spotted over Staten Island with local politicians now urging the federal government to help provide answers.
Staten Islanders reported seeing the bright-light-bearing drones in the night sky over the island on Thursday, the Staten Island Advance reports.
One such sighting was made by former Air Force Sergeant Walter Ziegler, of New Springville, who viewed the drones with binoculars from his apartment window, the Advance reports.
He describes them as having a “white light in the center and a red light on each side.”
All of the sightings took place not far from the Goethals Bridge, near the island’s border with New Jersey where the drones of unknown origin have been seen since at least November 18.
Now, Staten Island politicians are seeking answers and flight restrictions over the borough.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis released a statement calling on the feds to identify the origin of the drones.
“Following reports of unidentified flying objects that appear to be drones flying above Staten Island, I’ve requested that the Federal Aviation Administration impose temporary drone flight restrictions in the area, in addition to requesting immediate briefings from the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the Congresswoman wrote in a statement.

Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella is also calling on the feds to identify these flying objects.
“We have recently been made aware of large, military-style drones flying over parts of New Jersey during the past few weeks. It has also come to our attention from concerned residents and within the media that these drones have now been flying over Staten Island during the past few days,” Fossella wrote in the letter, according to the Staten Island Advance.
“It is odd and quite bizarre that nobody can figure out who is flying these drones, where they are coming from, and their purpose. It has been reported that some of the drones may be flying without an active transponder, adding to the concern about their whereabouts,” Staten Island’s borough president added.
The drone phenomenon caused the redirection of a medivac helicopter flying from an accident in Somerset County, NJ,on Tuesday, November 26 — spurring the Federal Aviation Administration to issue two temporary flight restrictions over Morris and Somerset counties.
The flights over New Jersey are currently under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to NJ.com.
Governor Phil Murphy assured New Jersey residents the objects pose no threat last week.
Martin comments: These are not little hobby drones, but often described as “car sized” or “bus sized” and appear to be consistent with the new Trans-medium Craft tech that the competing superpowers are working on. A clue that these aren’t likely to be “friendly” tech is that make a great show of being visible and appear to be present to invoke fear, confusion, and be a nuisance rather than a direct military threat. So what comes next? Armed versions? A Blue Beam fake alien invasion? Or as with Hudson Valley and Phoenix in the 80s and 90s will this simply fade away?
