There have been "multiple" instances of drones entering the airspace at a Navy weapons station in New Jersey, officials said, as concern continues to grow over sightings.
Summary
Officials at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey, confirmed multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the airspace above the base, though no direct threats have been identified.
Residents across northern New Jersey have reported sightings of large drones near critical infrastructure, including military sites, since mid-November.
Sen. Andy Kim, along with other lawmakers, has called for a federal investigation, urging the FBI and DHS to address public safety concerns and provide transparency.
The White House stated most drones appear lawful, but investigations are ongoing.
I just love that the ones they've looked into, were all people flying in legal areas.
It's a bunch of idiots who hopefully get attempted murder charges for firing weapons into the sky.
" I didn't think there was a person in it" isn't an ironclad excuse for firing a weapon at a vehicle of any kind. Let alone the fact they will NOT hit them, and they do stand a chance of killing civilians on the ground.
Edit: To throw in a fun fact. If you fire a 9mm pistol from the ground, it won't reach the average flight height of a helicopter (5000ft+). Which many of the photos appear to be manned helicopters. Aka attempted murder
Interest in UFOs is just masculine coded astrology. I know that they seem silly and harmless, but they laid the foundations for anti-vax and flat-earth. I also can't help but notice that there is a positive correlation between conspiratorial thought and conservative politics.
There was a recent reporter that showed footage ant looked very similar. A sheriff also saw "50" taking off out of water. Seems like exactly what they were doing with it 10 years ago.
It blows my mind a news agency can't find this in 10 min. I fear that it is the GOP trying to take away our UAS and other airspace rights. I am very well versed in airspace regulations and many of the talking points the GOP are using are scare tactics and blantely making shit up.
