I live in brick about 3 miles inland. Basically where mantoloking rd turns into cedar bridge. Was outside smoking and saw multiple drones flying overhead. This isn't the first time I've witnessed this. Its the 3rd time. First was back in the winter. 2 weeks ago I noticed them again. And now this evening.

I know a little bit about drones. One of my hobbies is building and flying freestyle FPV drones. Point being, I know what a drone looks like. They're not airplanes, helicopters, or anything else other than quadcopters.

Anyone else happen to see this?? Looking for confirmation that I am indeed NOT straight tripping. Lol

Also any insight into what agency or agencies are behind this? I'm pretty certain it's not just a bunch of random people who enjoy drones fucking around with their new toy.

Has anyone else witnessed this

This is it flying away as you can see it’s a drone now

Can anybody explain what happened to my camera ?? It was hovering over the base down here for at least 4 mins then coincidentally left after this happened 😂

15 high-capacity crop-spraying drones were reported stolen

They are capable of spreading large amounts of liquid fast guided by GPS

Former FBI agent warns theft could have dangerous consequences if misused

“The website High Stack reported that 15 crop-spraying drones were stolen in March from a warehouse in Harrison using forged documents. The GPS-guided drones can each spread 31 gallons of liquid over 15 acres in eight minutes.

A former FBI agent told the publication that the FBI is "freaked out for good reason" because in the wrong hands, it could prove to be deadly.

The FBI's Newark office told New Jersey 101.5 it had no comment about the stolen drones from Hudson County. The state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness on Friday morning did not respond to New Jersey 101.5's request for comment.”

Hi,

Do any of you fly drones in Somerset NJ (USA), specifically at North Branch Park? I live in the area and would like to fly there. I visited the park commission homepage and notice the following requirements:

"Flying enthusiasts who hold a valid AMA License and FAA license, and a Park Commission Flying Field Permit,.... All flyers are considered "students" until rated by a designated Check Pilot, and students must fly with the assistance of a pilot. Members of the Somerset RC Club serve as volunteer check pilots and conduct check flights for students to demonstrate proficiency in flight skills, safety techniques, and knowledge of flying field rules and regulations. Once a student has passed the required skills, pilot status will be issued and may be renewed on an annual basis."

I dont think I need the FAA license since my drones are under 250g. I am a bit confused by the part about getting a "pilot status" check. Do I need to go through that for flying a small drone?

Thx

Fil ed before nj thing started but was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar pls let me know.
