In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: ***SEE POST #88!!!!!!!*** What is up with these mystery drones in New Jersey? [View all]soandso
(1,631 posts)51. Well, I think this is totally out of their "wheelhouse"
Being told the police, sheriff and FBI are investigating is probably true enough but what are they gonna do? AFAIK, they haven't even sent up their own aircraft for a closer look - unless they have and didn't say because whatever these things are weren't observable close up. What I mean by that is that they (the "drones" ) could blink out, disappear, shoot into space, or mess with the observer's craft. I can't believe it's been going on so long and nobody's tried to get close to one.

That looks like a plane to me. I can see the silhouette of the vertical tail against the sky.

Someone here was saying that they shot at them and hit them but it didn't do anything.

Maybe people in the area could hire one of those guys who use small drones with cameras to find lost dogs to take a look

Not necessarily FBI, but it is odd the military are officially clueless, whether they are hiding something or not

I find it inconceivable that the military, FAA and FBI do not know the provenance of these drones.

Why is it not being more reported? First I've heard of it and I'm a news junkie.

Given what we have seen of the threat of drones in Ukraine, I think state police need to be equipped accordingly
