Picture this – mysterious drones lighting up Jersey’s night sky like it’s their own personal light show.
Since November 18, according to State Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia, these uninvited aerial guests have been causing quite the stir, with residents reporting sightings from dawn till dusk.
Unraveling the Mystery
Rep. Jeff Van Drew spiced things up on Fox News with claims about an Iranian “mothership” lurking off the East Coast launching these drones. While the Pentagon quickly shot down his theory, they’ve been suspiciously quiet about what these objects actually are.
Here’s what we do know for sure: they’re about six feet wide, can stay airborne for up to seven hours, and cover at least 15 miles of territory. Last Sunday alone saw 49 confirmed sightings, mostly in Jersey.
Why Can’t Anyone Seem to Stop Them?
Talk about a bureaucratic maze! The State Police lacks jurisdiction to intercept them, the FBI’s leading the investigation alongside Homeland Security, and somehow the Coast Guard has the most authority to step in.
Even Governor Murphy admits these sneaky flyers “go dark” whenever officials try tracking them. As one high-ranking Jersey police source told The Post – everyone’s just “befuddled” about “what the f–k is going on.”
Whether these are sophisticated foreign tech or something else entirely, one thing’s certain – Jersey’s got itself a real sky-high mystery, and right now, answers are as elusive as finding decent parking in Hoboken.
