The problem with the "secret testing over civilian areas" idea is that it's self-contradicting. So you think the military and intelligence has technology that is so secret they won't admit to it, but they're so uninterested in protecting that they're testing them willy nilly over populated areas?? The other contradiction is risk: so you have an aerial technology test and you do it over US civilian populations and mil…
> So you think the military and intelligence has technology that is so secret they won't admit to it It’s more like “does not have to disclose anything so chooses not to”. When you are in the long game of keeping your information and intentions secret, you don’t reveal anything if you don’t have to. They do need to test low flying aircraft in populous areas. They don’t need to say anything about it. It’s like when yo…

why hasn’t someone got decent pictures to back this up after five nights?
The drones only operate at night and it's hard taking good pictures at night with phones (or even nice cameras) - try to take a picture of the moon, which isn't moving, is brighter, etc.. you can tell it's the moon but it's a lot quality picture.
This is the biggest mass hysteria I can remember. People are sharing video of things that are very obviously airplanes and helicopters. I'm sure there are some drones but that isn't 95%+ of what people are seeing. This is honestly terrifying, because it's baffling people can't determine what is generally regular aircraft (some of these videos are SO obviously planes coming in for a landing, with jet engine noises and…
Why are you so certain it must be mass hysteria and not UAP? What are your piors? Are you a resident of NJ? Are you familiar with the UAP phenomenon? I venture you are neither of these.
Finally, I think it's quite dangerous if people are saying we should shoot down unknown aircraft, especially when it's very likely commercial airliners. That is not just conjecture, that is what people are saying online and to reporters -in person-. Seems like an important part of my post, which you seem to have conveniently ignored. Get just one person hyped up and they could shoot off in the air, and even if they don't hit the aircraft, that bullet it landing somewhere.

No, the DOD has NOT "declared them safe" Please confirm the actual statement made. No evidence of harm as of yet, or somesuch.
From Singh earlier today: https://www.defense.gov/News/Transcripts/Transcript/Article/... > at no point were our installations threatened when this activity was occurring > What our initial assessment here is that these are not drones or activities coming from a foreign entity or adversary > initial assessments are that these are drones and potentially, you know, could be small airplanes > But I think what's also imp…
thats not to say it wouldnt be healthy for you if it crashed and caught your house on fire.
safe is more than "not a threat"

"are assessed by the Pentagon yesterday... to not originate in the US or any other nation" = "the Pentagon claims to actively know that the drones aren't from any publicly-known line of drone models"
Well that's not exactly what they said. Here's the transcript: "at this time we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary...these are not US military drones" What do you make of that?

A decent percentage of the population thinks that the president of the US can control the weather. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-not-controlling-the-... The fact of the matter is that a lot of people have rotten, worm-riddled cabbage for brains.
Of course the government can control the weather, what are you on about: > In the United States, cloud seeding is used to increase precipitation in areas experiencing drought, to reduce the size of hailstones that form in thunderstorms, and to reduce the amount of fog in and around airports. In the summer of 1948, the usually humid city of Alexandria, Louisiana, under Mayor Carl B. Close, seeded a cloud with dry ice…

I've been following the story and this has been discussed on the local Reddit subs. They are almost certainly PteroDynamics XP-4 drones flying from and to the military bases in question for testing purposes. There literally was a public demo of them on the USNS Burlington in Philadelphia a year ago.
Video of that model of drone: https://www.reddit.com/r/EngineeringPorn/comments/13juxdi/pt...
The photos I've seen posted look very obviously like commercial airliners and helicopters with their navigation lights on. You can even make out the American Airlines livery on the tail! https://www.app.com/story/news/local/new-jersey/2024/12/11/d...
What the Pentagon does not say is that they don't exist or are just ordinary planes.
Why wouldn't they say that if there was any remote chance to sell it, even if they were trying to lie about something? Hell especially then.
