Drone Mystery Over New Jersey: Ongoing Investigation

For nearly a month, New Jersey has been the center of a mysterious drone saga, with large drones, comparable in size to small cars, spotted over homes, businesses, and military bases across at least 10 counties. Residents have expressed alarm at the sight of these drones, particularly when spotted at night, between dusk and 11 p.m., when they are mostly undetectable. The sightings have sparked numerous discussions among lawmakers, with approximately 100 mayors and state representatives attending a meeting to address the confusion surrounding these incursions. New Jersey Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia has noted the lack of public safety concern, stating that the drones, measuring up to 6 feet in diameter, pose a significant issue. The military has also reported unauthorized drone incursions, notably at the Picatinny Arsenal—a weapons development center—and at former President Trump's Bedminster golf club, amplifying security concerns. Federal and state officials are currently at odds over the responses, with local lawmakers disappointed in the federal government's handling of the situation. The FBI is investigating the matter, but has yet to identify the responsible party behind these hovering drones. Possible theories about foreign interference have been dismissed by the Pentagon, indicating no evidence of such actions. While local police employ drones to track the mysterious operators, the drones remain untraceable, leaving the public anxious for a resolution to this ongoing enigma.
