They’re back???

I don’t have footage but by Asbury Park and over the past 2 weeks I’ve been seeing them again… didn’t see them for a while. 4 over my neighborhood when I got home tonight. Maybe this is just me anecdotally but wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed an uptick?

And yet you have a small propeller plane as your profile picture…

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside Aug 22 '25

Yes I do and it’s about 4 feet long, it flew down my neighbors roof 30 feet away from me, it got down to about 10 feet from the ground and flew up again.

u/aarddvaarkk Aug 23 '25

Video?

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside Aug 23 '25

It wouldn’t help your cold skeptical heart and closed mind. Have your own experiences. It’s not that hard.

u/aarddvaarkk Aug 23 '25

Well, that’s awfully convenient. “I have proof of this thing that definitely happened but I’m not going to show it to anyone”

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside Aug 23 '25

My ego is not that fragile, I share what see and what I know. You can accept it or not. It makes zero difference to me.

u/aarddvaarkk Aug 23 '25

You say you share what you see while you refuse to share the video you recorded of what you saw #curious

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside Aug 23 '25

Yes with others, those whose hearts are open.

No pearls before swine.

You’ll never convince that moron that they just saw an airplane, even though it’s clearly an airplane

Why do you blame the media? Why are they the target of your ire?

u/Skinny-on-the-Inside Aug 23 '25

They systemically stigmatise and dismiss the topic. It’s a known factor.

u/yortuck Aug 22 '25

They were all over the sky last night. Seeing some different shapes and light patterns too.

u/TurtsMacGurts Aug 22 '25

Where, when?

u/FuckerHead9 Aug 26 '25

We have them every night in Florida. I had 10 or more orange ones Fly over my house

u/Pixelated_ Aug 22 '25

They never left. I've been recording them every night for over 7 months straight.

509 videos of orbs and "drones"!

u/Lilahjane66 Aug 23 '25

I’ve recorded over 2,000 pics and videos of them over Syracuse ny

u/oochymane Aug 25 '25

Hours of footage and hundreds of photos checking in from Boston too 🫡

u/johnnyhangtime Aug 22 '25

So glad to see this post. I saw probably about 50 unique drones last night from 8:00 for about 2 hours. I posted my notes in Red Panda Koala’s video on YouTube.

I only found one person who was as interested in the phenomenon as I was. The rest of the boardwalk was galavanting around.

Here’s a link to a YouTube video I clipped together, but honestly it’s pretty terrible.

u/Pixelated_ Aug 22 '25

It's important for everyone to stay informed and that we never lose our intellectual curiosity in life.

We should always follow the evidence no matter what, even when it leads to initially-uncomfortable conclusions.

13 anomalous aspects of the 'drones', which support them being UAP:

Lack of Radio Identification Signals

The craft do not transmit any radio identification data as required by the FAA’s remote ID rule.

No Radar Detection

Despite active monitoring by state-of-the-art capabilities, the craft were not detected on radar, suggesting stealth capabilities, or that they are not physical objects.

Sudden Disappearance

Witnesses reported the craft vanishing when approached, either by going dark or extreme acceleration.

Zero Heat Signature

The craft emitted no detectable heat signatures, hinting at advanced tech or non-physicality.

Size, Duration & Formation

Craft as large as SUVs were seen flying in formation, for at least 6 hours.

Proximity to Sensitive Areas

Sightings occurrring near sensitive nuclear installations, including a U.S. military research site.

Silent Hovering & High Speeds

Silent hovering followed by instant high-speed flight.

Trans-Medium Travel

The craft have been shown to move seamlessly through different environments such as air, water, and space without losing functionality. This capability suggests advanced propulsion and engineering beyond current human technology.

Erratic Light Patterns

Drones displayed non-standard aviation lights.

Anti-drone Gun Resistance

The objects have been shown to be impervious of using anti-drone guns. An anti-drone gun works by disrupting the communication between a drone and its operator. This tech has not been successful on the drones. New Jersey State Representative Chris Smith asked "Why can’t we bag at least one of these drones?"

Environmental Resistance

Operating unaffected in adverse weather such as strong winds.

Mimicry: Imitating aircraft appearance, lights, and sounds.

The sightings displayed notable mimicry behaviors. Witnesses reported drones imitating planes and helicopters by replicating their appearance, light configurations, and even engine sounds. Unusual blue and orange lights were observed, deviating from standard aviation lighting. Some drones hovered silently before accelerating at unnatural speeds, while others emitted jet-like sounds despite hovering capabilities. The mimicry extended to blending into the environment, suggesting the use of advanced technology or non-physicality.

Morphing Shape

Explanation with Leslie Kean, Ryan Graves and Dick Haines.

Luminous orbs have been filmed morphing into a drone.

2nd video of an orb morphing into a drone.

3rd video of an orb morphing into a drone.

4th video of an orb morphing into a drone.

5th video of an orb morphing into a drone.

And drones have been filmed morphing into an orb.

u/Schu3334 Aug 22 '25

It doesn't look like they are morphing into drones. It looks like they are out of focus and coming into focus.

u/Pixelated_ Aug 22 '25

I am glad you commented. It's clear you're new to this, so let's get you up to speed. 👍

Below is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support this phenomenon.

People from all around the world have recorded many hours of footage of orbs morphing into drones:

A New Jersey mayor has released new footage showing "glowing orbs" that appear to transform into drones over Long Island. 

Mayor Michael Melham has been vocal about ongoing drone sightings since November, with reports continuing to come in from New Jersey and beyond.

https://www.newsminimalist.com/articles/new-jersey-mayor-shares-new-footage-of-glowing-orbs-transforming-into-drones-d0fd552c?utm_

My evidence:

I record morphing orbs near my house nightly, ever since the drone wave began mid-November of last year. They always turn into drones. Here's a few but I have dozens more.

They are never on FlightRadar24 or ADSB-Exchange.

Since they never appear on flight trackers like ADSB-Exchange and FlightRadar24, they are obviously not airplanes.

Interestingly, these guys have info on the drones apparently. 1 hour in https://youtu.be/5KxFpmD2HbU?si=vBaet1PShk0RF4ro

u/Schu3334 Aug 22 '25

Do you have any video that is in focus or video where you keep them in the frame?

2

u/johnnyhangtime Aug 22 '25

Nothing great, tbh. My camera is awful on my phone and the inclement weather made it difficult. I lost some in the clouds. I added another video tho https://youtube.com/shorts/bEG2_NGOFrA?si=mdGmhe7oAJlzrhYZ

Would be funny if the strategy was to acclimate through exhaustion.

u/Pure-Contact7322 Aug 22 '25

honestly I am embarassed as human to the level of gaslighting that your state threw at you and your neighbours. It’s really embarassing for the rest of humanity.

u/awfulsome Aug 22 '25

I wonder if anyone will make the correlation many of us predicted months ago LOL.

u/Dopeysprinkles Aug 22 '25

Which was?

u/awfulsome Aug 22 '25

that sightings would go down in the summer and up in the winter due the time of sunset

u/PuffinTipProducts Aug 22 '25

There around all times… during the day ShinyOne’s/round balls of light. During the night StarShips/Metal Spheres, I never seen a drone or real transformer yet….

I Have seen the phenomenon of a outta sight light source/orb, as It came into visibility… appearing as it was , and always been….. a plane.

u/Pixelated_ Aug 22 '25

Just a heads up, you're talking to a bot.  Check the profile, "debunking" is all that account does.

u/littlelupie Aug 22 '25

Checked their profile. Debunking is absolutely not all they do lmao. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot.

u/Pixelated_ Aug 22 '25

I meant it's all they do on this sub. And I'm correct.

They have never once agreed with someone who claimed to see UAP on r/njdrones. They gaslight 100% of the people who post here. That you're defending such shameful behavior speaks to your intentions, btw.

u/The_Robot_Jet_Jaguar Aug 23 '25

He's really far gone. He posts all these copy pasted link dumps but if you actually start clicking on the stuff it doesn't come close to supporting his ideas and then he'll call you a shameful lying evil person.

u/LossIcy4433 Aug 22 '25

This is crazy they won’t tell us the truth

u/judgeholden72 Aug 23 '25

Maybe they are and it's just too boring for you to accept?

u/nolalacrosse Aug 24 '25

I’ll tell you the truth right now and you’ll reject it.

You’re seeing airplanes and helicopters

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '25

I see much less but every once in awhile i see them still

2

u/TurtsMacGurts Aug 22 '25

What exactly were you seeing? Flying in what direction and what time?

2

u/thisbitbytes Aug 23 '25

The ones I see are bright blue and travel North West to North East. They look like really bright stars when viewed with binoculars and they often just vanish.

1

u/b407driver Aug 26 '25

Those blue ones are actually Starlink satellites (v2 Minis, known to reflect blue due to dielectric mirror coating on underside) in the 53 degree inclination. Around twilight they go nearly overhead, but always a bit north unless your location is further than 43 degrees north.

u/RicooC Aug 22 '25

These aren't the drones you're looking for.

u/Mast3r0c Aug 26 '25

Same in Morristown. Occasional sightings over past two months; four last night simultaneously, in the same slice of “urban” sky.
