This is how this all went:
-Guy is playing with a drone
-"Social media influencer" notices it and goes to social media : "strange dones flying around my house"
-People start looking up and notice airplanes, helis, other drones and even startlink satelittes ( normal, people just didn't notice them before because they weren't looking for them
-More hysteria on social media
-People with drones start using drones to check what those "drones" are
-People see those drones, more internet hysteria
-People start making phony AI clips with drones
-Authorities go : "what the heck is going on, we see nothing unusual"
-People go crazy with conspiracy theories
This is what is going on, summing up, nothing...

There are plenty of videos from other countries showing UFOs. "UFOs" does not necessitate aliens--not that you without a doubt implied "they" means "aliens" in your post.
But to your point, maybe they're frequent to the USA because they're homemade there.
We don't know, though. Hence the "U" in "UFO"/"UAP".
So why wouldn't HS just say what you said/that it's consumer-grade drones operated by private citizens or whatever they found them to be?
I don't know what they are or how legit the videos are, but there is a public demand to know, whether you agree it should be investigated or not. It's the lack of transparency and answers that I'm most interested in at this point.

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
im happy to believe if the evidence is there
"Most of the possible drones are almost certainly planes."
You pull one guy out of hat that agrees with you and ride is opinion like like a dragon to war. And even he's not even sure.
There's mass hysteria and denial. Neither of them are productive. There's absolutely misidentification going on but the idea that it's all planes is absolutely ridiculous. The white house, fbi both said they don't know what they are in an offical capacity. Even then literal drone task force in NJ has said the same. They're not making these claims and shutting down airports because of planes.

This kind of makes me think of the Oakville blobs event. For those who aren't familiar, back in 1994, one day gelatinous blobs rained down on Oakville, Washington and a bunch of people who touched it got sick, some even hospitalized, and pets died that came into contact with it. No one knew what they were and locals were freaked out. Local experts ruled out jellyfish remains and some other popular theories. The government was pretty mum on it and basically didn't offer much other than "We don't know what it is" even though it was making people sick. A couple scooped some of the material up and stored it in a local container and gave the sample to a local scientist who was going to study it in his lab and try to figure out what it was, but it was known they were organic. He thought he was really close to identifying what they were, and when he went back to his lab the staffers told him men with suits came in and confiscated the substance. So he was never able to finish his work.
To this day no one knows what it was and if they do, they aren't saying. One of the most popular online sleuth theories is there's a government agriculture center near town and people think they were either testing some new pesticide substance and dropped it on the wrong location and didn't want to admit wrongdoing. Or, perhaps more sinister, because it rained blobs down on multiple occasions not just once, so that would tend to rule out an accidental mishap, is the government used this small town as guinea pigs to see what would happen if people were exposed to it.
Anyway, any time something weird happens that seems alarming and the government is oddly blase about it, it definitely sends up antennas.

Never heard of that one, thanks. I want to mention one incident that occured back in the 80s, non alien related, but just goes to show when described without knowing what it is, it can sound like its out of this world. There was some hospital that was neglected back in the 1980s in a south american country, forgot which one it was, someone wanted to scrap the equipment the hospital had. It exchanged hands and then some guy started prying it open to see what he could scrap and discovered a bunch of glowing dust, this guy took it home and even pulled it out at parties to show it off because of its very pretty glow. It turned out to be Cesium 137 and a bunch of people ended up dying because of it.

This was probably already posted, but just in case.... A drone manufacturer basically thinks the drones are "sniffing the ground" looking for a nuclear material.
IntentionalPun
Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Did they really say they “don’t know what they are”?
What statement did they make like that?
I see this one:
Joint DHS/FBI Statement on Reports of Drones in New Jersey | Homeland Security
Today, the FBI and DHS jointly issued a statement on reported drone sightings in New Jersey.

the drones sniffing for nuclear material actually makes a lot of sense and would explain the disconnect between the media/gov/public
this is probably the best way they could handle it without generating a ton of fear and having people react poorly
this might sound like they're not doing a great job covering it up, but in reality most people aren't even following this story and barely care
once these drones disappear everyone will forget about this whole thing

According to this guy, starting around 10 seconds in: "They don't know where the drones are coming from; they don't know who's doing it; they don't know why they're doing it; but they say there's no credible threat."Did they really say they “don’t know what they are”?

If it was lost nuclear material why wouldn't they let people know and warn them like the Aussies did.

They could be trying to keep a low profile so they don't force a reaction by whomever could be holding said WMD. That reaction being moving or detonation.

No where in there did they say they don’t know what they are, and what they guy is saying isnt really matching up with the DHS statement.
He’s also sponsoring legislation to funnel more money to the cops.

Fair enough, but he's talking about a briefing where there was seemingly a Q&A. Granted, we'd be taking this guy's word for what went down there.
In your linked statement, they didn't say they DO know what they are/who's doing it/where they're from. Them not answering those questions doesn't mean they don't know, I agree. But if they know details of who/what/where/when, they aren't saying, which is frustrating.

Guy sure knows how to ramble on and on. I also don't understand why he thinks drones don't have night vision available. They're expensive but not prohibitively so if you needed it for night operation.

I havent followed this stuff, but end of the day is it simply the military testing out new drones and they just dont want to freak people out it's their gear?

Most likely. The government wouldn't shrug and go "it's no threat" and let it fly near military bases if it wasn't theirs. What's muddying this up is all the idiots staring at the night sky and thinking they are seeing drones when they are seeing helicopters and planes instead. But the consensus before the hysteria is that there are military-grade drone sightings, previously at military bases, but now throughout parts of New Jersey.

The military has huge areas without anyone looking to test their fancy toys, New Jersey would not be the obvious place to do this.
People being dumb seems the logical explanation here. Whenever there is footage better than a light in the distance it's obviously a plane or helicopter.
There is an airport near where I live and some days I can see a light seemingly hovering for a long time in the distance which is just a plane on approach that happens to align with my line of sight. Planes have powerful lights that can be seen at many miles on a clear night and as you have no reference for distance your brain gets it wrong.

If TRUE and the drones are looking for nuclear signature, it is basically the premise of the Sum of All Fears. Truly terrifying.
It would prove we live in the worst timeline.

I can't believe that there's not a single user here on NeoGAF that lives in NJ and hasn't seen the alien space ships.

I think what we are seeing is a mix of activity. I believe the govt. has drones in the sky to investigate the numerous orbs that are being spotted everywhere. Either way, the shear number of drones tells me that it is simply too widespread to be the military. These sightings are all over the world... not just New Jersey.
Also, the govt. is not going to risk flying too many craft over bases and homes. It is simply too dangerous. Hence why they use the dessert and desolated places for testing.

The coping in here is undeniable. People are really scared of this being anything different than drones and military.
It might be happening, and IMO, drones are human, the orbs moving at super speed might not be.
It seems the drones are being used to combat and/or reduce the real sightings, thing is that is only in NJ, rest of the world has the orbs but not the drones...
guy above came in with the facts, thanks D DosGamer

Maybe the military doesn't have access to flight logs and can't tell the difference between planes and drones like Mick West suggested. Lol.
The logical response is some aren't planes, theyre drones. Just like aliens or anything else unknown if it makes you feel better to believe that "everything is fine/explainable" keep listening to the mick west types. They'll comfort you. Humans know everything! Except when talking about what's outside our little bubble.

Eh, you have both real news and fake news on TikTok, Twitter and so on. Your theory of aliens is not good and content is being generated for follows and likes via AI or other bullshitery. Just like how everyone references Project Bluebeam in the comments.

Yes, drone sightings, not ET landings.
