Why I Think the New Jersey Drones Are a Foreign Adversary
A foreign adversary is flying drones over sensitive US airspace, harassing US citizens, and doing so at will, with no repercussions.
Alright, friends, buckle up, because this story is equal parts Hardy Boys mystery, technology, and “Wait, what the heck is going on?”
Over the past few weeks, New Jersey has found itself under siege — not by aliens (probably) or even Dunkin’ Donuts, but by giant drones. And when I say “giant,” I’m talking SUV-sized flying contraptions.
But, it’s the year 2024, almost 2025, and nobody knows who’s flying these things.
Cmon… [he says incredulously]
Let me tell you why I think it’s a foreign adversary and what they could be gaining from this drone stunt.
It all kicks off around mid-November 2024. Reports start pouring in from New Jersey residents: big, blinking drones hanging out in the sky like they own the place. These aren’t your neighbor’s Christmas gift buzzing around the backyard — these are large, professional-grade machines, hovering for hours and following flight patterns that seem to indicate the operators know what they’re doing.
This sounds eerily like encounters the US Navy had in 2019 with drones swarming some of their ships.
