It was a story on the NBC nightly News last night. Sounds like there was a pow-wow with over 100 mayor's and municipalities. Confirms what we are reading in this thread. Big drones. SUV sized. Different variations. Iran mother ship was mentioned then waved off of incorrect by the government. Local PDs have been launching their own drones to see what is going on. No luck intercepting one yet. Spotted in 10 counties. Areas include Trump's golf course and Pickatinny Arsenal. Govt has no clue who.they belong to but we are safe. Huh?

So 12 news didn't shed any new light on this bullshit.... With numerous airports in the metro area it's only a matter of time before we have a midair collision with one of these drones. I constantly have planes coming in over my house headed for Newark Airport.... The sky's over Northern New Jersey are very congested... It's amazing that we can go to Mars and get a soil sample but cannot identify these drones flying several hundred feet above us... Someone better wake up...

Just can't believe someone hasn't figured out where they are being launched from, especially if from land. Or for that matter where they landed. I take it our capabilities for tracking flying objects diminishes once they are below a certain height?
Radar, yes…..

Satellites, not so much…..

One rpt. said a state police helicopter encountered one and decided to leave the area fearing for their own safety... REALLY ... Why not follow it to see where it lands???
