A lot of people in power seem to be panicking because so many international conflicts are dying down in recent months. After a Ukraine-Russia ceasefire how is the military industrial complex going to sustain itself? We need a new boogeyman, asap.

So… a bit over half of all American voters?
I wish we as people could have meaningful conversations on the internet. To clarify some common logical issues I see spread across dozens of responses in this thread: Drones != Quadcopters Drones COULD use a housing to mimics common aircraft or helicopters. The military and FBI do not commonly monitor ALL airspace at all times beyond air-traffic radar. The government is not a hive-mind and individuals only know what…
Why are they not being shot down at the very least?
It's always wrong (in every possible way) to be the first one to engage hostilities. To be morally in the clear, you should always wait for the other side to engage first. If we didn't follow this doctrine, we would've already had a nuclear holocaust. Warmongers and civilization don't mix. We don't know anything about their capabilities as individual drones or as a cluster of drones. For all you know, when you shoot…
What kind of equipment (available to civilians) can capture accurate and useful data about of UFO size, distance, and trajectory/heading?
The Hydra (it's changed names so many times) can do passive radar, which you can probably make active with a tx switch and a transmitter. Passive radar works thus: you aim a directional antenna in one direction, toward some transmitting signal (FM radio, television, whatever), and aim your passive detection antenna in the other direction. The signal from behind will hit whatever you're aiming at and possibly reflect some of the signal back to you, and the hydra radio software can detect "echos" of that sort and put them on a chart with relative sizes and speeds and "distance" as well.

And those other 4 out of 10 are very clearly not commercial airlines. I live in NJ was very skeptical of this at first, but after seeing the same patterns 5 nights in a row for aircrafts not going towards Newark, I really have a hard time believing it is simply airlines.
There is supposed to be an elemwent of 'mimicry' on the part of the Phenomenon. Kelleher in his work with AAWSAP was the most vocal in studying & concluding that aspect: https://www.rdrnews.com/opinion/columnists/drones-mimicry-an...

Ukraine's capabilities mostly consist of ramming a cheap drone into an expensive one. This is one of those times when the US has a Maginot Military - massively overpowered against traditional threats, inexperienced when dealing with something like this. This is not a trivial problem. A cheap drone with a relatively small explosive payload flown into an air intake can take down a military aircraft and cause serious pr…
That's kind of reductive. I know some people who have, uh, relevant experience. The cheap drones are pretty comprehensively engineered and they're complex in the same way that a ballpoint pen is not as trivial to manufacture as it looks. But yeah, Maginot Military sounds about right.

And the official government response is super odd. Police were following a drone (that is totally safe we are told) then called the helicopter back because he felt unsafe. But the drones are safe (except if you are a police helicopter?).

Lots of strange behavior.
EDIT: Downvotes for posting an APNews article and an elected New Jersey Assemblyman that just came out of the government briefing, really?

Not commenting on NJ specifically, but there have been drone sightings near sensitive military sites recently, as reported by the military
How near is "near"? There's an awful lot of sensitive military sites in the US.
