The curious thing is that they only fly at night. So if they are looking for something it’s not optical in nature.

New Theory: NJ Drone Sightings May Be "Nuclear Sniffers" Following Elevated NYC Radiation Levels

https://www.zerohedge.com/mili...d-radiation-readings



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Because people with nuclear devices only operate between sunset and midnight? Roll Eyes

HRK’s post on the previous page fits the time period people are seeing these mystery drones much better.

From the twitter post HRK posted:

“…campaign to get Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act”

H.R. 8610 does exist along with S.1443 - Protecting the Border from Unmanned Aircraft Systems Act.

NYT article:

"John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said in a news conference on Thursday that federal authorities had not been able to corroborate any of the reported sightings above New Jersey or New York.

“To the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” Mr. Kirby said.

A “thorough analysis” of pictures and videos and “very sophisticated electronic detection technologies provided by federal authorities” had not revealed any of the flying objects to be unauthorized drones, he added.

Still, Mr. Kirby said the spate of reports and public concern about them underscored the importance of systems to detect and deter drones. Such tools should be made available to state and local law enforcement officials, he said.

“And so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities so that we are better prepared to identify and mitigate any potential threats to airports or other critical infrastructure,” he said."

That last paragraph is particularly telling. Kirby is basically saying that having found nothing is proof that something must be done.


On a side note, where are all the videos and pictures? A couple pages back, a news guy with a camera crew claimed to have seen 40-50 of them in one hour. He said the had 6’-8’ wingspans and yet managed only had two clips of video?

Also, the State of New Jersey did have a helicopter flying along the coast last night. Perhaps they saw something:

“I want to assure the American public that we are on it,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

“We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the Northeast, and we are vigilant in investigating this matter,” he said.

His comments Sunday came a day after telling CNN, “Let me calm those nerves. We have not seen anything unusual. We know of no threat. We know of no nefarious activity.”

I feel so much better now knowing Mayorkas is on top of this.

To me the theory they are US Gov owned and nuclear sniffers is very plausible. Flying at night for minimal detection with basically 2020’s technology Geiger counter for lack of a better description they don’t need visible light to see that. Aren’t some of the nukes that Ukraine had 30 years go they were forced to give up unaccounted for ? Would not be far fetched for a bad actor group or rogue country state to try to pop off a dirty bomb. That sounds more realistic than space aliens.

Also, supposedly the sun interferes with radiation detection so they only fly at night.

Here's the video linked in the article.

Simultaneously, the website Geiger Counter World Map shows counts per minute between 222 and 278 in New York City.

Searching at night would aid thermal detection by creating a greater disparity in temperature between surrounding area and "HOT" item that you are looking for.

To me this makes the most sense.

But don't worry...
Biden has that cross-dresser Sam Brinton at the NRC who's on the case.

Top. Men.

Again, why no sightings after midnight? Sniffer drone pilots regulated to 5 hours flight time? Not enough batteries or fuel to keep the drones flying after midnight?

You know what does happen starting around 11pm? Commercial and general aviation traffic start dropping off a cliff. From midnight to about 4:30am there might be 5-10 planes an hour over New Jersey.

I don't know...

Perhaps it's just general aviation traffic. I don't know.

It remains unclear whether the purported drone sightings in NJ/NY airspace were even equipped with sniffing tech to even search for the missing radioactive medical device (or other devices). The government's undeniable lack of disclosure at all levels has fueled panic. Perhaps even the feds have no idea what's truly happening.​

Nj airspace is extremely crowded. While passenger flights may decrease on off hours, cargo flights are non stop. We have flights non stop. During the day, i have fewer flights over my house than in off hours.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Releases Report Confirming Radioactive Material Lost in Transit — Shipping Container Arrives Damaged and Empty in New Jersey

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has confirmed that radioactive material was lost in transit earlier this month, heightening fears about public safety and sparking theories about mysterious drone activity in New Jersey.

Officer Lew, a prominent political commentator, highlighted the NRC’s event report during a review of regulatory alerts.

“While looking at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Alerts. I can confirm that there is radioactive material that has gone missing on Dec 2nd, 2024 out of New Jersey. This might be the reason for the drones… just speculation at this point,” he wrote.

The missing material, identified as a Ge-68 pin source manufactured by Eckert & Ziegler, was reported lost by its licensee on December 3, 2024. Shipped for disposal, the container arrived at its destination severely damaged and empty.

According to the NRC’s report, the radioactive source, while classified as “Less than IAEA Category 3,” still poses potential risks if mishandled or exposed for prolonged periods.

According to the report:

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT – SOURCE LOST IN TRANSIT

The following information was provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) via email:

“The licensee reported to NJDEP on December 3, 2024, that a Ge-68 pin source that they sent for disposal has been lost in transit on December 2, 2024. The source is a Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-0132, with current approximate activity of 0.267 mCi. The shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty. The licensee has filed a claim with the shipper. If the source is not located within the 30 days, the licensee will follow-up with a full written report to include root cause(s) and corrective actions.

“This event is reportable under 10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(ii).”

New Jersey Event Report ID number: To be determined

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A ‘Less than Cat 3’ LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

Sources that are “Less than IAEA Category 3 sources,” are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly – although it is unlikely – temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.


Just as this radioactive mishap was quietly made public, a string of mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey has raised eyebrows.

John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC and an expert in unmanned aerial systems, has presented a startling theory: the drones may be searching for the missing radioactive material.

Ferguson: My belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground, gas, leaks, radioactive material, whatever… I do believe that they’re flying low enough that they’re just trying to sniff the ground and try to find something. So again, I hate to be a pessimist or a guy that thinks directly to the negative. However, I know as a professional, we build professional stuff for the military. I believe that they’re actually out there trying to smell something that’s very important.

However, Ferguson linked the sightings of drones to a more shocking claim: the disappearance of over 80 nuclear warheads from Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

According to Ferguson, these weapons have never been fully accounted for, and at least one of them may have been headed toward the United States.

Ferguson recounted a conversation with a government insider who physically handled one of the missing warheads, only to see his warnings ignored by U.S. authorities.

Ferguson: Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program. With Russia, there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there were over 80, I believe. There were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing.

We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does, but nobody really knows where these are. I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff. It seems as though that is the case.

I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise an alarm to the highest levels of our government, which they had their ears closed, about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on.

He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine. And he knew that that thing was headed towards the United States. That is a very serious deal. And everyone knows that the United States government, this administration, is pushing to get into a war with Russia. We all know that. We all feel it. We all see it. We’ll back up a few years…
