Drones (and some say UFOs) over NJ and now Philadelphia
Maybe we'll have Festivus drone sightings tonight?

CNN — What was intended to be a dazzling festive spectacle ended in injury to a 7-year-old boy after several drones unexpectedly fell from the sky during a show in Florida on Saturday night, according to CNN affiliate reports.
Videos shared by spectators of the event at Orlando’s Lake Eola Park show dozens of lit-up drones flying in synchronization –– forming Christmas-themed shapes like swans, doves, Santa Claus and presents.

"Luiz Elizondo, the former head of the Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, and other witnesses testified before Congress last month about an alleged government group “hid[ing] the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos.” “I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth,”

Trump has said that the government knows what they are. When he becomes president, he will tell us clearly and authoritatively.
Whatever they are, it will again show that the Soviet Union had nothing on the Biden regime. Like the Soviets, right from the day Biden took office to the very end, what he said he was doing was not what he was actually doing, and what he said he was not doing is what he was actually doing.
The Soviets had Pravda. Biden had the main stream media.
"Corruption" does not describe Biden's administration.
Well, the drone sightings have dropped off a cliff since the New Jersey ban. Doesn't surprise me at all, but at the same time there is still the possibility of some sightings harder to explain. We still have Navy pilots videoing flying Tic-tacs.
Is the alien invasion/psy-op/MKUltra thingy postponed?
It just kinda dropped right off the radar, huh?
Isn't that something? I guess the trendiness wore off of this real damn quick.

They are still flying around surveilling sensitive military bases and civilian infrastructure sites, but now with their advanced ‘cloaking technology’ activated.

I see
And all the press coverage and the chatter on social media- are those things cloaked, too?

Aliens from outer space were fascinated with New Jersey?
How did this happen? Did they manage to intercept satellite broadcasts of Jersey Shore and now they've become big fans, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cast?
Will the ET's step off the saucers sporting big gold chains, tank tops and slicked-back hair?

"..fascinated with..."? As a former NYC resident who worked in Jersey, I would attest that they already live there.

I think people in New Jersey got tired of being portrayed as morons on the national news for not knowing the difference between an airplane, helicopter, planets, stars, whatever and a drone. Out of 5,000 reported sightings, 4,900 conclusively proved the person reporting was a moron.
No conclusion was drawn about the remaining 100 sightings, so those people could still be morons.
If the temporary bans prove anything, they prove that any prior actual drone sightings in those areas were operating within the law to begin with and that drone pilots are responsible, law abiding citizens just like those citizens with CWLs. The Chinese, Russians, Iranians, super secret Area 51 types, drug cartels, etc. wouldn’t just stop because the FAA said so.
I’ve been trying to keep up with the story, but there’s been nothing new.

But, you see, there were reported sightings all over this country, and I even read one report talking about this being a global phenomenon.
This kind of stuff is indicative of some of the unattractive aspects of human nature; social trends rising to the level of manias, and the lemmings among us who drive such nonsense.
My distaste for this kind of thing is why you see me, not infrequently, dousing social trends in this forum.

Yeah, they were identified. /sarcasm off Thats why state governments were putting out"we dont know what they are, but they pose no danger", and why the FAA, you know the people that are supposed to know whats in the air, had to put special no fly zones up. I work near Picatinny Arsenal, people that i work with, live >1 mile from the base. They saw these "planes" hovering. The sound of a helicopter and electric drones are completely different. My co workers were close enough to hear them. And of course there are many 1/2 ton recreational drones.

Again, it's remarkable how this dramatic story of the mysterious and threatening drones went from appearing every day in the news cycle, down to essentially nothing.

They had to cut back or risk viewer fatigue. It will start back up when the time is right.

Maybe they're waiting for DJT's announcement on 1/21...
