Since mid-November, residents across New Jersey have been reporting an increasing number of mysterious drone sightings, often occurring at night. Large drones, sometimes flying in coordinated formations, have been spotted hovering over areas such as Morris, Somerset, and Monmouth counties. The unexplained appearances have sparked public concern and led to investigations by local, state, and federal authorities.
The drones have been observed near sensitive locations, including military sites and high-profile areas, heightening fears about their purpose and origin. Some have speculated that the drones could be tied to foreign surveillance or espionage, but federal officials have dismissed these theories, stating there is no evidence to suggest involvement from any foreign entity or adversary.
Security experts have offered various theories, including the possibility that the drones are part of a classified government program, testing advanced surveillance or data collection technologies. However, the lack of clear answers has only fueled public anxiety.
The presence of these drones has been described as unsettling, with reports of up to 50 drones appearing simultaneously and flying at low altitudes over residential areas. State officials are urging calm, with some calling for a temporary ban on drone activity in affected areas until more is understood.
The FBI continues to investigate the sightings and has encouraged the public to report any relevant information. Despite these efforts, the mystery remains unsolved, leaving New Jersey residents and authorities searching for answers.
