Be aware that most of the powerful flashlights on Amazon are scamsThat's what I heard too, that there was some imminent threat, likely nuclear/dirty bomb. Someone identified one of the drones as a general atomics drone of some sort a little over a week ago. The videos that don't make sense to me is the ones where they are seen in groups of 4 or 5's, those are definitely not commercial planes similar to ones being posted over and over, those seems like planes/helicopters, these don't show up on flight radar for example. Either way somethings going on and they aint telling anyone, not even local governments, which doesn't help.`
edit: surprised no one has tried shining a very strong lep flashlight, they go pretty far.

Oh I know 
Most amazon lights are trash. I own an acebeam x75 with extended battery and a lep lumintop thor iii which says it has 2500m throw, have not tested that claim but was reviewed here, https://1lumen.com/review/lumintop-thor-3/
has decent throw around 2500 meters. if those things were flying as low as they said they were near my house, it will definitely illuminate underneath it, then ill take some pictures. there were sightings in maryland but i have not seen anything yet.
btw the picture posted above was of https://1lumen.com/review/maxtoch-owleyes-w-pro-v2-diamond/ which is overkill.

NO PAIN TRANCE CONTINUE
and flying drones over the US
Global survalaince in a myriad of ways is well beyond passé. Mentioning a new era in that regard makes me sigh irl.
Smart phones/TV, digital currency, personal based advertising etc.
Where already living in a global information gathering dystopia.
That raises quitsons doesn't it. Lot's.
Then again we should be asking the right questions if we want the real awnsers.
It's also entertaining to keep in mind that what's being shown is more or less decades old tech
Buh buh omg spy drones

Feels like no one is using initiative here. Get a bunch of FPV drone racing pilots, cover their costs, strap on the best cameras possible (mix of hi-sensitivity visible light cameras and nv/ir cameras), send them all up at once, approach rapidly and observe close up from all angles -- you'll only need a couple to get in close and capture shots to get a clearer idea of what we're looking at.
Also, there are astronomers with high end telescopes, tracking capabilities + digital imaging capabilities who could observe these very clearly.
Yet everything we're seeing is potato footage. Triple+ compressed digitally zoomed footage from tiny phone sensors.

The Government looking for some kind of WMD doesn't make sense because they would be looking around the clock with all hands on deck. Nothing during the day, zero military on the ground, zero law enforcement help etc... pretty much rules this out, imo.
You don't keep everyone in the dark and send up some drones at night to look for a potential WMD.

Well the other option is some enemy trying to use surveilance and test how we would react to drones, but the government denies that.

In short, the below proposes that this is a military exercise to sweep an area for nuclear material and see how the public reacts. Doesn't say whether a threat has been detected or if it's a test run.Truthy or BS? Who knows:
The lack of transparency around it is frustrating. This NJ Rep says Homeland Security says they don't know what they are, but also that they're no threat (starting at 10 seconds in the clip below). Right.

They have zero reason to believe they are anything but standard drones, and have no indication they are anything special.
It's basically "Drones fly around all the time and we can't do much about them unless they fly over the base itself."
Military ‘frustrated’ with mysterious drone activity in New Jersey
The Defense Department doesn’t know who has been flying drones recently near its military installations in New Jersey, and the Pentagon is “frustrated” by this type of activity, according to a senior official.
defensescoop.com
It's really not that hard to get away with fucking around with drones. It's not like the NJ State police have advanced stealth helicopters to sneak up on someone operating a drone lol
Not to mention, much of the time.. people are just seeing planes:

You were saying hours ago thats it's just planes.
I think it's an evolving situation that calls for patience. It's not just happening in the US either.

The fact that the government explanation makes no sense makes it obvious that they are in on it.
They can't just blindly accept that nothing hostile is in American airspace.
Something happened where they really got to test their new drones out on America.
I assume this is due to Russia and China making advancements in drone technology.
They need to make some fast progress for some reason. That is why Biden is keeping his mouth shut and Trump isn't bugging out.

Maybe it is new surveilance tech? Also, these things can stay in the air for hours. Some new power supply?
There is footage of ones using lasers, but I don't know if that is fake.
Also, these things could be running on AI. That is why they run away so well.

They also had a meeting where this doctor pretty much said that America really needs to catch up with their enemies in drone tech and they can learn from the Ukranians.
They are playing dumb about this and actually giving a reason why this is happening. The meeting was implying an enemy is doing this, but I think it is the U.S..

proving a point by posting planes coming in to land isnt a way to prove a point
@4:34 the commentary is "I have never seen anything like this before"
But this is the image at that timestamp
Yep literally every video "some are planes, but some cant be tracked" posts videos of planes coming in to land. Spend 30 seconds at meta bunk and watch every video easily be debunked as flights using trackers. Go on twitter or reddit and see tons of old videos reposted, Ive yet to see one video of an actual superdrone.
Heres the map during the senators "drone" video

They have tech that can remote control f16s and AI that can already fly f16s.
I'm baffled why we haven't got real jet powered drones yet. Cheap powered drones that can overwhelm the enemy air defence and simply lock on and kamikaze into air launchers once they fire their missiles.
Missile air defence is insanely expensive. Drones are cheap.

You didn't watch the video. No way in hell all of those are planes and everyone looking at them is wrong.

Maybe some of them are planes, but I'd say very few. These things are hovering or moving in circles, planes go in one direction they don't just hover over areas or go around in circles. But yeah this is getting pretty wild.
Here's what's gonna happen next. If this drone activity continues, one of these days one of these drones is going to fly nearby some retired veteran's home to has a collection of long ranged rifles. They're going to be like enough of these fucking drones get away from my home and shoot one of these drones out of of the sky and go salvage it and dissect it and post about what they've found online. The next day a black SUV with tinted windows is going to pull up to their home and guys with suits are going to get out and confiscate the drone, possibly detain the civilian and then drive off.

This just feels like a massive gaslighting at this point. From the government, from the media, from fellow citizens. Hell, a lot of the people commenting on it are probably bots. The "hysteria" does not seem to match what is actually happening. I don't doubt there's some legitimacy to this, probably is SOME drones, but I live in NJ, in one of the counties where there's supposedly lots of sightings. I've been coming home from work late at night for weeks, haven't seen a thing aside from planes and stars. Could this be some kind of military drone experiment that is being done, but can't be admitted publicly because it would violate laws if they were up front about what they were doing without state approval?

Heres a thought....perhaps this is a government op to generate hysteria specifically to push state and federal legislatures to enact sweeping drone regulations to empower them to deal with a potential REAL drone threat that in all likelihood will become more and more likely in the future.

I watched the video and saw the planes
theres literally a sitrec on this now
And Andy Kim has updated
wlecome to mass hysteria...a few people prob saw a commercial drone...then more read that and saw planes then it became a thing and now you see mass hysteria through loop reporting feed off itself. This is basically how the entire UFO lore has happened....its all loop circular information feeding. If there are thousands of these sightings there should be thousands of video that arent easily found on flightradar to be commercial planes or sitrec to be satellite flares, or yknow old videos of stealth bombers with the audio purposefully removed.
you dont have to take my word for it
feel free to spend hours watching tons of live cameras and see nothing https://www.skylinewebcams.com/de/webcam/united-states/new-jersey.html

Either the US government is involved or Joe (or whoever is running things) is as incompetent as ever. There's no way any competent government would let this go on for weeks. They should've shot one down by now, unless they think they're booby-trapped. But in any case they should be communicating with citizens to stop conspiracy theories from coming about. Not that I would automatically trust what they say of course.

I'm starting to get what is going on. There's nothing for the authorities to investigate because this is just mass histeria created by social media.
Just another reason to ban social media or in alternative, make all accounts private.
This is actualy dangerous because people might actually start shooting at planes and helicopters.

So Homeland Security says they don't know what they are but that they're no threat, but there's nothing to investigate?
