#2The only hypothesis that makes sense to me is that there is something very dangerous on the loose that is being searched for, such as nuclear material. The highest authorities don't want to cause panic so they are executing a search this way.

I saw this hypothesis in another thread. Although interesting, I did wonder why a regular helicopter doing the same thing would not be sufficient.
I don’t now anything about such scans but that was my immediate rebuttal.
Like you, though, at least I find this explanation plausible.

#4I feel like myself and a few others, some cash, some materials, a bit of legal immunity, could easily have a working solution to capture a few of these for analysis.

The military has all sorts of cool techniques to find things without using drones, which makes me wonder if it's a private party conducting a search. Or is this in order to make it deniable for the military - not _looking_ like a military op

Gas mileage, safety, noise, cost, on top of the fact they already have tons of long range single prop drones kitted out with surveillance gear. Almost all of the videos look like predator style drones flying search grids. Maybe they have some large quadcopter drones in the air but I haven’t seen a single photo or video of anything that looks like one.

The highest authorities have indicated that the drones are not U.S. military [1].
I guess they could be playing semantic games. Could be defense contractor owned and operated as opposed to directly military controlled.
In any case, if they know what they are they are lying. Either directly or by omission. Not that either would be unusual.

EDIT: Actually there were statements that didn't leave room for semantic games:
“The Bureau is actively investigating the situation you mentioned, the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part of New Jersey, including in proximity to sensitive sites and areas of concern. We do not attribute that to an individual or a group yet."

Materials, or an eagle?
