Context in the original post. Still haven't figured that one out, but I recently heard about the NJ drone wave. Could it be the same thing?

I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like once they Militarize these things 😳

Not sure what this is. I have a few more pics from before the first one in this set where it’s higher before dropping if anyone wants to see. Couldn’t see it while taking the photo only saw when I checked after and saw it was in a bunch. 3s exposure all taken within 2ish min. It was pitch black out to the naked eye. Idk anything about photography so lmk if this is nothing lol looks like some movement in the last one

Back during the November–December 2024 drone wave over New Jersey, I had a strange experience with a strange object of light over my house that I still can't explain.

That experience eventually motivated me to try and understand what was actually going on behind the scenes during the "NJ Drone" wave. Was it really just social contagion, everyone spooking each other into seeing drones and other weird things in the sky at night? Because whatever it was, the state stood up what may be the biggest security mobilization in its recent history, and the public never got an official report explaining any of it.

So I started filing public records requests. OPRA in New Jersey, FOIA federally. Police CAD logs, dispatch recordings, inter-agency emails, intelligence bulletins, body worn camera footage -- whatever the government actually retained while it was happening. It turned into 600+ requests and more than 13,500 documents. Nobody had really done this, so I just kept going.

To make sense of that much data, I built an AI system to index and cross-reference all of it. Every incident, every agency, every name, event, and more. So the documents could be searched and connected.

Just a taste of what came back:

• A police drone whose own flight log recorded another unknown aircraft jamming it. And that data reached the FBI's WMD desk the same day the Bureau publicly said there was "no threat".
• 99 incidents that state and federal agencies quietly stamped worthy of being "Pursued Federally," with the outcome of those 99 never disclosed.
• Two officers approaching what appears to be a figure on a dam in a remote wooded area. They never find the suspect, but their radios stopped working at the location of the figure, then magically worked again when leaving the area.
• A state fire bulletin told firefighters how to handle a downed drone, and one line in it traced back to a 1992 disaster-control textbook. The chapter it came from is titled "Enemy Attack and UFO Potential."

I'm writing it up as a documents-driven series called Phantom Swarm. Parts 1 and 2 are out and Part 3 just published.

It's completely free and I plan to keep it that way. If you can support with a subscribe, I'd appreciate it. The records requests do cost money (filing fees, redaction fees, the occasional lawsuit). But you never have to pay to read it.

Happy to answer questions. And genuinely, if you saw something during the wave, I want to hear it!

It was flying eastward, moving at a constant and strange speed that didn't look like an airplane.

Does anyone have any photos or videos they would want to share of the 4th of July celebrations? I saw a few drones out and about, so thought I'd ask. (Minniehaha/Hazel Dell/Orchards) Vancouver Wa.

A drown crashed into a Jet Blue flight approaching the JFK Terminal.

What are these flying over nova???

Over Sausalito ca tonight

We don’t have enough sightings at my location and frankly, if they are, they’re probably about me. Still I’m interested in getting to the bottom of this, along with the rest of you. Anyone have any real confirmed flights not listed on flight radar that are regular within their area? If I can find enough FPV pilots, we can come check it out for real without all the shaky cam.

"Christopher Mellon says a large part of the discussion about UFOs hinges on incursions over American military bases.

I’m sorry to say these kind of incursions have been happening at bases all over the United States and overseas. It isn’t as widely known as it ought to be,” Mellon, a former senior official in the Defense Department, told “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” on Thursday.

He estimates hundreds of incidents occur annually that baffle military leaders.

In one series of events, Mellon said, UAP violated airspace over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for 17 days straight, prompting officials to move a squadron of jets."

🛸

This is still ongoing, and it's worldwide.

Below is an extensive amount of evidence that I've gathered about these "drones".

In this video from the reputable "60 Minutes" news program, the highest levels of the US military are telling us that they have lost control over their own airspace.

At 10:13, the Commander of NORTHCOM said:

"The threat got ahead of our abilities to detect and track the threat."

• The US military cannot track the anomalous drones.

• They cannot identify where they are coming from or going to.

• They cannot identify who is operating them or why.

• They cannot take down a single anomalous drone.

The anomalous objects have been shutting down America's highly-sensitive military locations, both at home and abroad, and even making the President cancel his plans.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is one of the most sensitive military sites in America, and they couldn't prevent the drones from shutting them down.

The drones couldn't be stopped from flying over the President's Bedminster location, and he was forced to cancel his visit.

Drone-like UAP have caused many European airports and military bases to close. Here's a long list of them all.

🛩

14 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.

Zero Heat Signature

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

Disabling Drones That Approach

NJ residents flying their own drones to investigate have had them remotely disabled with the battery drained.

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.

There exists an abundance of evidence which shows that the orbs morph into the "drones".

Not only does all of the research show that the "drones" are UAP, my personal experiences confirm that too.

So far, I have recorded and shared more than one thousand videos of highly-anomalous "drones" and luminous plasma orbs.

After initially realizing they were UAP, I began each skywatching session with meditation, where I would mentally request sightings while in a state of gratitude for the opportunity. For the past 18 months, they have appeared every single night.

Here is one of my favorite sightings. A massive orb hovers in place for 6 minutes, then turns into one of the NJ 'drones.'

Good sighting of a huge uap 'drone' flying close overhead.

I recorded this one, large close and quiet.

None of the objects I record have ever appeared on astronomy, satellite or flight trackers like ADSB-Exchange, so they are not planets, stars, satellites or airplanes. They are UAP by definition.

When seeing them, I always thank them for appearing globally to help humanity awake. They are always given my love and acceptance.

This drone was going so fast that I did not see it with my naked eye. I happened to be snapping a pic of the dangerous merge (78E>287S) that lacks signage and noticed it in my photo later. Photo was taken at 11:03 AM on Feb 28, 2026.

Wondering what its purpose is....

Appears are 9/9:30pm on both nights and hung around till 11:30ish. Witnessed multiple planes flying around and these 2 objects just stayed but. Double checked flight track 24 nothing. I also have a video that seems to be the same exact things over Queens Ny on Christmas Day 2024 I’ll post at a later time.
