Mysterious massive drones scattered all over in New Jersey and Pennsylvania over the past week or so. No local officials or FBI knows what's going on.

R/UFOs is hailing the end of the world or aliens planning the start of the Independence Day movie.
That subreddit is absolutely embarrassing

I love how they keep posting videos that have been debunked many times over

Bunch of fucking dumbasses

For some reason, the kitchen trash is really bad about filling up in my apartment. I have been smooshing it down as a habit.

There is too much empty space in the containers.

Someone needs to invent a trash can that can compact the trash.

It's all media, other day my YouTube was flooded with videos about animals. Be a clip of a tiger in a trap, and then it claims the tiger went home with them and lived as a pet, with footage of 10 different Tigers and Lion spliced together.

Video after video of that fake crap with millions of views each.

The problem with this (i think) is that any species that has the ability to fare across space and study a habitable planet from up close has likely developped a million years ahead of us. To send down these loud and flashy drones is akin to a heart surgeon here on earth taking sticks and stones into a surgery room.

Unless this is their way of playing 4D chess, I guess.
It may not be millions of years of gradual discovery but a sudden one that led to this type of craft and travel.

The flashy ones, like Falcon Lake, make me wonder if the light emission is product of their mechanical operation, or maybe emissions of their matter breaking down having traveled interdimensionally.

There was an orb recorded a couple years ago that broke apart and a piece started an unusual fire where it landed. After the fire was put out there was nothing to be found.

For 4D chess the Shag Harbour incident may have resulted in an unintentional colonization of the country and these recent sightings are an extension of that.

Those scenes were so creepy. Felt so disrespectful to humans and humanity.
That feeling gets to how intimidating a superior intelligence/tech can be to those that consider themselves the pinnacle, and in some cases, chosen by and made in God's image with all the privileges to exploit everything. It undermines all that religious programing.

The radioactive/nuke/dirty bomb search narrative doesn't make sense to me. Just equip helicopters with the high tech software. You could easily pass it off as a "military exercise" without freaking people out. Helicopters are seen all the time and don't frighten people. They're incredibly capable and can be outfitted with a variety of equipment. There's zero reason a search NEEDS to be performed by a drone.

This is something else.
Helicopters make way too much noise and cost way too much to fuel to be up for hours searching for something. If the public is freaking out about drones, imagine the freakout if a bunch of helicopters were flying everywhere at night, making a bunch of noise.

Incredibly easy to get around that. "Military exercise."
We used to fly over civilian neighborhoods in broad daylight/night conducting training ops. We get complaints but nothing remotely similar to what this has caused.

Not only that, it seems the technology used on these drones is higher altitude=less noise. Absolutely zero reason the same monitoring tech can't be retrofitted on choppers.

Fuel cost. Nope. US military budget is stupid high and even more wasteful. We burned through things with no regard for spending. We left the Taliban a wealth of equipment behind that they've used to build an army. I've literally watched the US Army ditch millions of dollars of equipment because they didn't feel like bringing it back. They wouldn't give a shit about fuel for an exercise.

So does everything thinks this is actually Something or do people think they used this as an event to stop distraction of something else like the CEO assignation?

Possibly worried about copy cat attacks?
 
I don't know about everyone, but there seems to be a lot of social about what seems to be human made devices flying legally.
Sure. So was it mass hysteria and/or social media manipulation?

I don’t think it was little green men or we have a need to call Mulder.

I would be surprised if it was a foreign entity.

Still waiting for someone to explain to me why these super secret, spying, hidden, don't let anyone know what we're doing, nefarious, Isis, Al Qaeda, alien, flu spreading, Chinese, Iranian, Russian, dirty bomb, drones of death and destruction all have their lights on.

Saw 2 outside of Metro Philly on my commute home. Could have been normal use but I never noticed them before. Last Thursday. Not a conspiracy theorist at all. Might havre been 1500ft in the air…maybe.

exactly. It’s definitely does not have anything to do with aliens. Secondly, why would aliens also keep their lights on?

Of course it’s not aliens, although I will admit when Starlink few over the house a few years ago at night and I didn’t know what it was ….I felt a bit of trepidation.

As for what this could be, probably private drones used to probe a response.

UK Convenes Emergency COBRA Over Drones, Possible 'Hostile State'​


"Unidentified drones over U.S. air bases in the U.K. reportedly prompted British senior officials to hold the highest-level of secret meetings used for national emergencies to discuss the situation. Some senior officials believe the drones have been organized by an enemy state.

U.K. military officials have expressed alarm that it has been impossible to find the pilots responsible for controlling the drones and have not ruled out that the aerial objects are the work of a hostile state, The Times of London reported.

The drones involved sophisticated technology that prevented authorities from tracking them or identifying those responsible. None have been captured, nor have they been affected by electronic countermeasures such as jamming, the outlet reported.
Investigators believe the drones were controlled in real time by live operators and not programmed.

Authorities have ruled out the work of hobbyists.

"They're very sophisticated, very fast. This is not the work of hobbyists but no one is confident of attribution at the moment," one British official told the Times.

The U.K. situation is similar to that seen over parts of New Jersey, New York, and neighbouring states, where drones have been seen since Nov. 18.

At least two COBRA (Cabinet Office Briefing Room A) meetings have been held, the Times reported.

COBRA meetings, gatherings of senior government officials, often are held in time of national crisis, according to the Security Journal United Kingdom. The purpose of a COBRA meeting is to ensure that the government can respond quickly and effectively to crises, with all relevant information and decision-makers in one room.

U.S. Navy members have joined British military police to investigate the drones seen over Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Fairford, and RAF Feltwell.

Facilities to house nuclear weapons are under construction at Lakenheath, the Times reported.

British and American intelligence services have probed whether Russia's military intelligence agency, GRU, was responsible.

"It seemed to us that it was plausible the Russians were behind the flights but it could have been non-state groups," a U.S. intelligence source told the outlet. "There has been no firm evidence that Russians were involved."

U.S. military officials say the drones, flown over the bases in late November and early December, varied in size and configurations."

The drone stories have disappeared overnight. It's almost as if...as if...the H1B argument was manufactured to smokescreen something.

But hey, who knows. At least ST: Discovery got shit canned.

Probably because it was just some random people fucking around with drones.

I'm at a loss on how this made international news.

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...
Allow me to quote myself.

Just ban social media and this mass histeria events will end...
Just proves the lack of critical thinking that we have in our society.
 

Days like these...

I see we've reached the point where we're just going to discredit everything because some people confused a plane or helicopter for a drone or UAP

hovering for around 2 hours above my house. (can drones last than long) 🤷🏼‍♂️

The fact its blinking at the start makes me think its a chopper. Hard to tell anything about it by this video. We are still at the level of smudgy VCR level video quality...with vertical recording....

at the begging of the video it was a mobile tower and an airplane passing by. the subject of the video is the bright light.(which is not blinking ).

the video obviously didn't capture the detail of the subject. (It's wasn't an helicopter or a planet)
