Reports are coming in about drones flying in four states, and the government isn’t saying anything. Local authorities are starting to ask questions. What’s going on?
Drones aren’t exactly new tech. If they didn’t want us to see them, they’d make sure we couldn’t. Why would they put blinking lights on something secret? Makes no sense.
Was this removed because someone broke drone rules? Seems like something happened here.

Your post was removed because it seemed to show someone breaking drone regulations. If it wasn’t, maybe explain in the comments next time to avoid confusion. Rules are there to keep things safe.

This is just another example of why tripods are better for filming anyway.
What’s the deal with the website linked in one of these reports? Is it even legit?
This reminds me of the drones spotted in Nebraska and Colorado a few years back. It was a big deal for a moment, then it just disappeared. No answers were ever given.

Those were creepy because they were flying so high and far, way beyond what regular drones can do with their batteries.
@Tobin
That’s just the limit for public drones. Better battery tech exists, it’s just not common. And with improvements in other areas, like semiconductors and bearings, drone capabilities could jump a lot further.
@Sloan
I’m not convinced semiconductors and bearings will change much for drones. And I haven’t seen any real proof of better batteries than LiPo. Until then, it feels like wishful thinking.
@Sloan
As far as I know, lithium is still the most energy-dense option available.
@Sloan
It sounds like you don’t know much about drones.

Your username suits your comment perfectly.

At this point, I just assume it’s the military testing something new.
They all have strobes, navigation lights, and seem to follow flight paths. Are people mistaking jets for drones? This sounds ridiculous.
It’s probably military tech being tested, and they’re not telling anyone because of security reasons.

I think these might be VTOLs. The FAA made new rules for them recently, which could explain the sudden increase in sightings. I doubt they’re doing anything illegal; the FAA is likely aware but staying quiet to avoid unnecessary attention.

Why would they test new tech over suburban areas? It could crash and cause a lot of problems. They have remote ranges for this sort of thing. It seems irresponsible.
@SophyGenesis
Maybe it’s because a civilian contractor has a facility there. It’s probably a logistical thing, even if it’s a bad idea.
@SophyGenesis
NJ has so many Superfund sites. It feels like the authorities don’t really care much about the state.
