Drones in the sky - Conspiracy theories welcome.

What, no theories? I've been waiting for a thread to begin and nothing!  My pals have been sighting them for a couple of weeks and posting on FB, calling the police and getting told to call the FBI. And these are not even my crazy friends. So, has anyone seem them? About 100 mayors in NJ have been demanding answers from our Gov. Today I heard Biden is supposed to weigh in.

I was surprised to learn they were the size of a car.

So, please feel free to get as far out as you wish with your theories.


Kind of shocking to realize that in the near future, there will be drone air defense systems at our airports and other sensitive locations.



I blocked them on my phone…they still won’t give up!

someone on a local FB group posted a photo they claimed was a drone. It looked so much like a plane I wasn't sure if the poster was actually being ironic. 


how does one exactly identify a drone from an aircraft at night? The only thing I can think of is that drones are more agile, so if you observe something making unusual maneuvers, it's probably a drone. Or maybe if you are very conversant with the rules of airplane lights, I guess you could distinguish them that way.

Somehow I doubt that the people reporting drones are familiar with either.

I wonder who started this. What was the first drone sighting?


My friend posted about seeing one on the 5th. She called the police and was told to call the FBI. Then others started posting on Happy Millburn.


I went for a long walk (through Memorial park and town) looking for them but no luck.  A neighbor was outside and said he had just seen one. 

Saw people posting about seeing them at DeHart Park.


Rosie O'Donnell turns out to be a wackadoodle.  Who knew?

Most certainly Bezos doing trial runs using night vision cameras for 24/7 deliveries.

UFO means unidentified object, which they are. The alien part is just wishful thinking on her part.


None so far in Hong Kong and we have a very wide view of the airspace.

actually, I made a mistake in my post. for some reason I read rosie o'donnell as roseanne barr.

today has not been good, cognitively speaking.


An idea floated on Happy Millburn is they are testing for the possibility of School Bus Drones to avoid traffic.

My theories have been proven true.  Not so much yours.

sigh, now we're going to have to talk about the definition of "true".


now this is a bit embarrassing. people are losing their ****. make sure you read the community note. sorry the "readers added context" section.


Lateat photo I saw from a SOMA person on FB claiming to have seen a drone was obviously a helicopter. 
I'm starting to believe 99% of these so-called drone sightings are people closely scanning the skies and thinking every light they see is a suspicious drone.

Only in your mind...and possibly Paul's.

Yeah -- I think there definitely were, maybe still are, drones flying around and that the relevant agency/agencies should let the public know the details, but at this point people have been primed to identify every unfamiliar object in our crowded airspace as being a drone.


Hmm. It would be wonderful if .....


Guys, they may be laughing at us ... 


The wackiest conspiracy hysteria is coming from politicians.  


Iron Dome for America???  Ca Ching.  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for military.  Maybe these drones are just a big infomercial for the military industrial complex.

Regardless of the facts of this drone hysteria, I agree that drone defense will be the response.  Presumably it will be limited to sensitive sites since we can't provide coverage for the whole country.
