after seeing all those screen-shots of the drones that are flying around along the coast of New Jersey, I have the urge to say that:

either those people living there are very brave...

or this has been blown up to huge proportions.

Either way, is this how your tax-dollars are spent ?

Your government saying for weeks now that "we don't know where they come from but they post no threat" ?

In UFO-folklore this is a big "history-repeats"-case....

But many Germans would probably say: Nothing that a good FLAK won't solve, right ?

The most militarised and belligerent state in human history does not know what is mysteriously flying about in the night sky Gape  .

Sometimes I don't think this country knows what's flying around in its own underwear. 

😂

@100ford2003 

Unfortunately, that could also be said for the rest of the world, despite the best of intentions.

Being a JOFS sufferer, I struggle with trusting the government anymore (jaundiced old fart syndrome) but I trust the mainstream media even less.  Who knows what the heck, if anything, is flying around NJ?  In closing, I would like to state, post self-examination, that there is nothing flying around in MY underwear.

I don't have a dog in this fight. But it might be a good time to take a small step back.
"Isaiah 8:12 Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. "
 
Some facts:
"As of October 1, 2024, there were 415,635 certified remote pilots in the United States.
Here are some other drone-related statistics:
There are 791,597 registered drones in the U.S., with 396,746 commercial drones and 387,746 recreational drones.
8% of Americans own a drone.
The number of remote pilots has grown rapidly since the introduction of Part 107 in 2016.
The Part 107 certification process is considered to be easier than the driver's test.
A license or permit is required to fly a drone that weighs more than 250 grams, even for recreational use."
 
There are at least 800,000 registered drones in the USA, or about 16,000 per state, and people may be just beginning to notice some of them flying overhead.

@charles-rockett Charles....plebes call such things farts......I tastefully refer to them as odoriferous zephyrs.

@jack-dodds You must be familiar with the well document Elizabeth I story in which she had a favoured, yet elderly, deaf and incontinent courtier who regularly blew wind, (as my father, not being a pleb, was wont to say).  On one occasion the wind blew so violently that he heard it himself and apologised - to which Her Majesty replied "We did not hear the fart".

More recently - and concerning her names' sake Elizabeth II - another great story that was widely circulated at the time, went along these lines:

In November 2003 President George W. Bush arrived for the first full state visit of a U.S. President to the U.K. and was met at Air Force One by Queen Elizabeth II. They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they boarded an open 17th century coach hitched to six magnificent white horses and as they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each greeting the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was going well. This was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and dignity but the scene was suddenly shattered when the right rear horse let rip the most horrendous, blast of flatulence, and the coach immediately filled with noxious fumes.

The two dignitaries did their best to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decided that was a ridiculous way to handle the matter, and turning to Mr. Bush she explained, "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things even a Queen cannot control."

George Dubya,  ever the Texas gentleman, replied, "Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said anything I would have assumed it was one of the horses."
