The news is eating it up because idiots are consuming every bit of garbage information they will put out. TikTokers get thousands of views because people are fooled into thinking something is going on. If there are drones, it’s some ding dongs who are getting a kick out of the attention it’s getting.
Iran is not invading with drones. It’s not aliens from the ocean. It’s not a some secret government program. It’s proof that American education has failed and raised the majority population to be mouth breathing morons.
End rant.
Jersey may very well be blown out of proportion. Two reddit videos were military aircraft. One that made the front page was a C-17 landing (video had no audio). Another (not front page) was dash cam footage of two C-130Js flying low in formation with their visible formation light strips on.
Reminds me of when the power went out in NYC or LA (I forget) and people thought it was an alien invasion because most of them were seeing the stars better than at any point in their lives.
But there are real issues with drones right now. Wright Patterson AFB operations were shut down for a while due to drone activity. Langley has been dealing with multiple cases of multiple drones over the summer. And a Chinese national was flying a drone around Vandenberg SFB California and was trying to hop the first flight back to China when they were detained.
Lol, reminds me of when electricity went out in my neighborhood for an hour and I googled it and didn’t find any news about it and thought: must be government cover up of secret government operations
Then I posted about it on reddit and a redditor pointed out that this is normal and small incidents like a power outage in a localized area for hour wouldn’t be newsworthy, then I realized I was being silly, probably too much conspiracy-minded lol
