Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Its a drone!

Since mid-November, car sized drones have been flying over New Jersey. Concern builds as civilians take pictures, posting them to social media. The drones have not been addressed by New Jersey until December 11th. This issue prompted a meeting with around a hundred mayors and state representatives. State leaders and representatives are disappointed and angry with the lack of answers from the meeting. New Jersey state representative, Brian Bergan, interviewed with “NewNation” on Wednesday after the meeting. “It was ridiculous,” he claims, “There were no answers. Every question that was asked by the members of the state legislators, great questions… no answers. No resolution, they don’t know where the drones are coming from, they don’t know who’s doing it and why they’re doing it. They say there’s no credible threat.” Bergan states he got up and left the meeting as it was a “waste of time.”
Lawmakers from New York and New Jersey sent a letter to the FBI, Federal Aviation Administration, and DHS (Department of Homeland Security.) DHS stated, “it is unclear who is operating these drones.” The handout says the state of New Jersey and its agencies are not in any way involved with the operation of these drones. Drones have flown over Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township, NJ which is a weapons development center. Drones have even been spotted flying over President-elect Trump’s golf club. NBC news reports local NJ police have begun to launch their own drones to try to get information. Over the course of a month the mysterious drones have begun to spread to other states, flying over major cities and important military areas. Although senators have not given us any answers they warned people to not interact with them and said it is illegal to shoot them down.
People have many different suspicions as to what the drones are and where they are coming from. Some believe this is the Blue Beam Project, which is a theory that refers to government total control, others believe it’s a US Military test as the drones follow the AFF guidelines. Until we get concrete proof of what the drones are and where they are coming from, the panic will continue to ensue.
