Perhaps my opinion will be an unpopular one in this thread, but here goes: this is "evil clowns are stalking our children" season all over again, except this time it's drones in the sky instead of sightings of clowns around public schools.
There is no universe where it makes an ounce of sense that swarms of covert or malicious drones would deliberately advertise their presence in the sky with bright running lights. None. People are seeing planes, helicopters, Starlink satellites, etc., and their imaginations are filling in the rest, fueled by plenty of panic and publicity. There are undoubtedly a handful of real drones being flown by people who are laughing at all the panic they're stirring up, but most of these sightings are misidentification of normal objects in the sky. And any foreign nationals who are using drones for covert surveillance? Those are the drones you're definitely NOT going to see at night.
I have two predictions: (1) Not a single one of these very visible drones will be shot down or knocked out of the sky, and (2) there will never be a clear photographic image provided, despite many, many people on the ground using the best imaging equipment available. Consider that this drone scare has been going on for weeks, and so far all we still see are blobs of light in the sky posted on the Internet.
I thought that at first also, but not now.
While I agree it may be overhyped, there have been relatively good images shown that are pretty clearly JP-6 military drones
There has been a large amount of military fixed wing air traffic in the area doing racetrack routes. And that’s only the ones we’re allowed to see
Reports/sightings from military personnel from at least 2 military bases (Picatinny Arsenal report 11 so far over their base) have raised their own questions/concerns
The FAA shut down some civilian air space yesterday that prevented air medical helo’s from flying in the area for over an hour
Coast Guard independently reported a swarm following them
I don’t trust a word that comes from our Federal government. If it is mass hysteria, they’ve brought it upon themselves. I recall it took 3 years for some of the truth about COVID and the jabs to come to light and it’s still dribbling out
