As a drone hobbyist I can absolutely guarantee this is not another hobbyist. Commercial drones are not 20 feet long, flying 100mph @ 4000 feet. A commercial drone will also detect if you are flying into military airspace and stop responding to controls. If anything this sounds like a government agency trying to prove the vulnerability of other departments to request funding. Wait for the report to be released in a couple years, that’s my bet.
The same thing happened around a couple of London/UK airports 6 years ago, closed airports for days but no actual proof provided, drones claimed to be flying longer/further than most drones, resulted in forced licencing and registration of all but the smallest toy drones in the UK, at £12 a year, oh and a load of investment in anti-drone companies.
there is no way none of these wouldnt of been tracked back to their point of launch by now and if it is foreign interference, the large number of them would make it more likely to have the launch site caught
There are recent videos of what appears to be drones firing weapons. I do not have the skills to determine if those are false or not, but a lot of people are watching this with apprehension and the government is simply not addressing the concerns of the American people. We're simply being told "Nothing to worry about" but in the same statement will tell us "We don't know anything." Those two stances are incongruent.
As someone who owns 2 commercial grade drones, the app used to fly them will not allow me to fly into military zones. The app will actually force land the drone on its own
the fact they weren't able to find and trace the drones going back to their origin point means either criminal incompetence or they know more than meets the eye about them
As someone who served in the military and worked in defense contracting, its the 2nd option. My belief is that this was a "red cell" operation to test US ability to track and intercept drones. The US surveillance system is ridiculous, and if you knew what they are capable of nowadays it would probably send a shiver down your spine. I sincerely doubt anyone could evade that system, we already track Russian, Iranian, and Chinese assets like fucking hawks, we know everything they do, if these drones were from any of them, we would know. If these were foreign drones, we likely aren't telling who it is because we already know and are waiting to see what they do next.
I'm gonna go with the latter. This just seems like some good old domestic testing that they're being hush about. It's not that complicated... If we didn't know the origin, it wouldn't be that crazy to either figure out, or shoot them down. And yet, we keep seeing them.
For those of you who dont know, the US military already has developed and put into active service dozens of systems that can shoot down small drones. This capability has existed for years. EMP weapons, radars, acoustic devices, man portable and vehicle counter drone guns all exist right now. Look up MLIDS, coyote, KurFS, VAMPIRE, Dronegun/Droneshield, mjolnir/thor, lattice sentry tower, silent archer, Leonidas, titan, and MEDUSA, these are all current US government systems that the military is already using to take out small drones.
Like the other guy said that's nice but its clearly not working is it, not hard to imagine someone made that tech obsolete! The biggest flaw with the US is they never do well with something new, always takes em awhile before they catch up and perfect it, clearly this is VERY MODERN TECH beyond what the military is currently able to deal with, also shooting them down is a stupid idea till we understand the tech AND from what I've learned they have shot a few of these down quietly outside a few bases, that tells me they are aware and investigating OR are planning for defense, also this could very well be our own military playing fucking games with us citizens as well, would not be the first time in American history, like he said in the vid it may all be a internal test of our capabilities.
@MikeSmithJunior yes. they do. China ran experiments and they found 30% drone casualty rate against their protections. Drone swarms are seriously strong. But the thing is when balloons came over, they were tracked and shot down. Conversely, when stealth bombers flew they said "we don't know maybe aliens" it's likely these drone situations are simulated attacks and they don't want other foreign powers to know how they're handling them. There wasn't a single report of a captured, shot down, or scrambled drone. IF they did, we would have heard it. Means it's our tech.
@@lilconch AFB Edwards and AFB Guardia shot one down, the base commanders in both circumstances ordered it because no one up top would give them an answer, they downed em both in a field and whisked em off on as truck in the night. I agree though, these days IDK anymore and the news lies prolifically... IMO its China or our own military not sharing info.
@@DROK278 you need to slow down, lol. Damn. Are military is simply testing drones and base defense. That's it. It's not complicated. No one's messing with civilians, lol.

BINGO! Finally, someone with common sense and some brain thinking power. They are exactly that! Military constructed and controlled. They know some people will fall for Aliens invading nonsense or it's IRAN, China or Russia lie.
So why don't they say it's from them...? BTW try not to break your arms patting yourselves on the back for the most obvious question with the most obvious follow up question
John Kirby: There's no foreign threat from these drones. Reporter: What are they then? John Kirby: We have no idea. Reporter: Well, how can you say there's no..... John Kirby: Thank you all for coming. I'm out.
It's definitely just the US testing their own stuff on their own stuff, You saw it with the F-117 flying around the US undetected and the B-2 as well, same with the F-22's and F-35's. So the fact that the US military is doing nothing about these drone swarms show's it's a domestic test of the weapon
@@rileygladue3979 "Definitely?" So why would the U.S. military be doing this over crowded suburbia, rather than doing the exact same testing out in the middle of the desert, as it tends to do with all things it doesn't want a bunch of civilian hassles over?
Well he obviously can’t talk about a top secret ongoing operation to locate Isis sleeper cells with sting-ray cellular interception technology onboard the drones. The CIA uncovered a lot of Intel when Assad fell in Syria.
That's going to be difficult. You need a fairly large telephoto lens to get any detail on a drone a mile away and for practical purposes the telephoto lens needs to be gyro stabilized. At night the bright lights will still swamp everything in the photo. It's really hard to see a Mavic 3 sized drone just 500 yards away, let alone a mile away. At 500 yards it will pretty much only be a dark dot against the sky assuming you have 20/20 vision. Even with a 100 megapixel mobile phone camera with barely 2-3x optical zoom and 4k video compression it won't even be a dot during the daytime and in the night time just the lights will show. If you have the wits to take an uncompressed 100 Mpix photo, you might see something. On a 4k video, not really.
I'm in South Jersey, the War of the Worlds effect is certainly happening here, funny that it's New Jersey again. Every night I see posts from my neighbors claiming they spotted drones over our town accompanied by a video. Very easily identifiable as an airplane. I mean, we live under the flight path of PHL people 🤦♂ I am not discounting the drone mystery at all, I do think it's for real, but mass hysteria is setting in.
Indeed.. the people of Grover’s Mill better watch out! As should the people of Kecksburg Pennsylvania. The “aliens” are coming!! This is just a major distraction for something else.. The “bestest, most powerfullest country in the whole wide world” can’t “figure this out”, speaks volumes about those above.. don’t look up! Go murica!
It's probably a psychological operation by the government. Either to distract, take more control or as an excuse to unite the public by inducing fear. If it were real aliens, there's no way they would let them fly over the military bases without declaring national emergency
These are seen flying in so many military locations in so many countries I think its just training of military drone operators after recent deployment of various drone types. They are flying at night so nobody can verify launch and retrieval locations. At operational altitude they use lights so operators and civilian aircraft can see them. The reported long flight times are the result of advanced military power systems such as advanced battery technology and advanced fuel cell systems such as that first developed for the Navy which has hydrogen on tap.
That’s what happens when a government lies & gaslights. People speculate, & then radicalize. It’s actually pissing me off. They need to be honest and they won’t…so what do they expect? People will only get more hysterical. I’ve already seen many freaking out about the second coming of Christ & end days. The gov needs to speak tf up!!!!!!!
As some who currently works building drones and used to work as an RF engineer, these are HPGe nuclear detection drones. They are used to detect gamma rays miles away and are being tested in case a "dirty bomb" is shipped in through a port of entry. They are being used in drills and in these drills they are sweeping certain areas to detect for these signatures. They will probably be used around ports of entry like NYC. They are doing the testing near civilian areas to gauge the public's response but these drones are probably on a very need to know basis. This is the most plausible reason for these drones.
someone with an actual brain, thank you. its extremely clear, at least I thought, that the drones belong to the U.S. Military. they are swarming the bases because thats where the drones are kept. this nuclear detection angle actually makes sense also. people are reporting the drones seemingly flying the same route over and over.
:37 The American military is not "utterly unable to identify them or shoot them down". That statement is utterly ridiculous. The people who know what's going on with the drones, aren't talking. That's it, end of story.
Good grief he's right. For 50 years people have been reporting UFOs over US bases. The US is in control of this and they just aren't telling you what they are. It's not a coincidence the UFO conspiracy s are being trotted out again as a cover. History repeats itself, the dullards just never learn
In other words, if the military isn't talking, that's proof that there is something to talk about. And, if the military says something -- anything! -- that's proof that they are lying. 🤪
Makes complete sense. We would definitely knock anyone else down. They are using the restrictions reason as a reason to not do anything when the public sees these things. Or denying it on tv to the masses.
100% this is what’s going on. If we can see them coming, we can intercept them or follow them home. The military knows what’s going on even if they’re not telling us.
This is my take on the drone situation, forefront: im not a US citizen. Point 1: the drones are mostly concentrated in city center and military installations. 2.the gov refused to elaborate further. This is what i think happen. The drone might be some form of new defensive system from military similar to Iron Dome. This is all training or proof of concept. The reason for secrecy is to prevent adversary from discovering more about the capability.
Typically the element of surprise is better than a show of power. The issue is that a show of power can be fake, and may be misinterpreted. What you say seems very possible though, definitely in my top 3 explanations.
I live in Central Jersey under the final approach for Newark Liberty Airport- planes are constantly flying right overhead. As a plane enthusiast and USAF veteran, I love it. I've been hearing about the drones for some time, but it wasn't until early December that I actually saw them cutting across the airliner's flight path, but at a lower altitude. I've also seen several flying in formation, abreast of each other, parallel to the NJ Turnpike, which I live a few blocks away from. It's weird, and at the same time, it's the times we live in. We all knew this day was coming, and we're going to be seeing more drones with more uses.
Rumor it's the US govt looking for something that at night it's easier to detect ... THEY SNIFFING for a special type of elements . NJ Is the main part
Posse comitatus doesn't prevent the military from shooting down anything flying over restricted airspace, it prevents them from being used for civilian law enforcement
Yes, but per the FAA are legally equivalent to manned aircraft. Shooting down aircraft is over its bases during peacetime is something the military doesn't really like to do. Change the law and/or regulations regarding classification of drones and things might well change.
there is no drones. this is a ply to further push the bull shit remote id agenda. if you dont know what that is you should look it up. its bad for all of us commercial drone operators.
Just remember throughout the United States history anytime something weird was going on around a military base Only few years later we end up finding out that it was some sort of top secret military project, For example of the SR-71 Blackbird was a secret project until it wasn't
I thought of that yesterday and would have originally agreed with you. But this is over major military installations and urban areas, not a secure airbase such as at Groom Lake with facilities and history of aviation research and testing.
There are several things to consider here, and most of them make that highly unlikely. We have to consider how the US has treated secret projects in the past, and the nature of those strange occurrences. The over arching concept to consider is that the US would like to minimize the risk of their secrets becoming public knowledge. So some questions I would ask are, if the US are testing secret military drone technology, why are they doing it in highly populated civilian areas? Why are they doing it in numerous locations instead of confining it to minimize the risk of exposure? and why on earth would they be testing them in overseas locations? To be clear, I'm not attempting to talk down to you at all, but I think that you aren't looking at this from an objective perspective. The nature of these drones is not concurrent with prior US actions involving secret technology.
Exactly. It's the aliens. They've been here for years, with the advent and commonality of drones they're just now able to blend in better and not worry so much about being seen in public
@Larry-mk9ry Ahh very true. I would like to grab some binoculars and see them in the sky if I could. Sadly I don't live close to any military bases. Also I don't own a pair of binoculars. This makes me sad, y'know?? 😥😔
100% They'd already KNOW about whatever "country" would have these already, and who's responsible. We have these things called "spies".... and they're AMAZINGLY good at what they do.
The fact that some people are citing the posse comitatus act as an excuse to not shoot down those drones is fucking wild. The Posse Comitatus act prevents the military from deployed against civilians, not from it shooting down unknown autonomous aircraft swarming military bases and collecting intelligence for unknown parties.
Yeah... to be honest it feels more like an excuse. I was just thinking... can those drones be shot down? Sure they can. Second question would be however... how much money would such shooting down cost? Most likely way more than the cost of drone. Also shooting them down will not necessarily give you an idea who sent them, which I suspect is the main objective right now.
@@Barbaroossa Shooting a drone out of the air is a federal offense with prison time attached. Ok it’s one thing to shoot a wouldbe enemy from the sky, but these are just terrified weirdos scared they see a light in the sky.

I grew up behind NAS Oceana. Got to see some wild things in those days. All manner of planes and helicopters (seeing F-117’s fly less than 200ft over your house weeks before Operation Desert Storm deployment as a kid was insane). The fact that they’re flying over the largest military bases on the east coast doesn’t surprise me. In fact, I expect it. If you’re testing combat readiness for US military assets, that’s where you do it. Side note: If I’m not mistaken, Seal Team 6 is actually stationed out of Dam Neck, the sub base nearby (actually, just across Oceana Blvd from one of the runways. It’s been a while since I’ve been back, but I’m pretty sure that specific area is likely to have stayed much the same).
I live in Virginia. I see them almost every time I drive near a specific airport, and near the military bases. I honestly thought they were military cuz I’ve also had a fighter helicopter fly like maybe 200ft above interstate 95 as it went from base to base. I remember thinking “well damn, if I was a conspiracy guy this would be ruffling my feathers.”
I actually got used to military planes flying low and fast over civilian roads when I lived just outside of Fort Drum, NY. Later, I was literally midway between Drum and Griffiths AFB. They’d break the sound barrier causing the old style glass windows to crack. This was in the late 1980’s, early 1990’s.
Paraphrased from a recent streaming media show: "People like to believe that someone is in control, even if it is a secret society or a corrupt government.."

Well, newsflash in Russia everyone is still primitive grandparents and they are taught from a young age to blame all their problems on NATO countries especially America
This feels like an Air Force "prank" to prove some sort of point. I work in the air force (at a completely different base mind you) and there's this weird calmness about the drone situation. It's not even being brought up in any official Air Force warning statements (that would happen if this was an actual serious situation). If this was being done by a foreign group, defense missiles would likely start firing at them (or laser defenses if equipped).
No enemy country would easily perform such an act, flying openly over residential areas and causing national chaos. Therefore, this must be a government classified project or a UAP, but it is very different from the typical form and behavior of UAPs.
My hypothesis : a US drone supremacy program triggered by the war in Ukraine. This is not about using a drone to perform a task, this is about creating a swarm so powerful that the enemy thinks twice about any offensive actions.
Check the lockheed martin RUclips There's a video from 10 years ago talking about drone technology they're working on. A lot sounds similar to the few legit reports (the ones not obviously planes) Another video from 4 months ago is very clear they will step in if shits going south. It's basically a statement of intent.
So the drones that are evading f-16s are our own drones and a lot of the back and forth we see are those in the need-to-know, and those not, within various gov't agencies? If suppose that makes sense if we're missing some major piece of the puzzle, as in... Y'know, the specifics. lol
Wrong It’s about using fear to push the ban of consumer drones Which The sellouts have tried to do via the NDAA and failed recently Ontop of that - Argentina recently started using drones for AI policing And another “coincidence bro!” Is that same president visited mar a lago Seriously nobody in the comments can figure this chit out? You all are really that lost?! Absolutely pathetic. What this means is that everyone needs to branch out as they’re stuck in echo chambers where the f150 driving conformist happy wife happy life jarheads want them.
Inter-agency war - the current govt isn't convinced enough to supply funding for advanced drone programs, so we're gonna launch swarms under another compartmented program to show how incapable they are without our research.
This is either a military drone program that is currently classified. Or a military contractor working in a drone program program that is currently classified. They maybe testing said capabilities against our own security, but nobody actually seems concerned, and their not even trying to hide it. They have lights, despite the fact that their operating in spaces that would be illegal for anyone to do without permission, and yet no warrants or even alerts have been filed for anything.
The problem with this theory is that people are freaking out when they see strange drome swarms over their houses. There is no way this would not turn into a huge cluster fuck news situation, as it is right now. The logical thing to do would be to tell people "hey we are testing some sensors, no need to worry"
Our company is based out of Norfolk, near the naval bases, and we find these occurrences really alarming. Operating a drone in our area is actually quite difficult due to the air traffic restrictions. Most modern drones, especially those by DJI, will NOT allow you to even fly in most parts of Norfolk so whomever is flying these has bypassed that software safety measure intentionally.
It’s our military doing drone night flight targeting ranges. Kind of like for snipers but involving drones. Black out and spot them from different radars and platforms. Not everyone is read in lol
And "they" were doing this over RAF Lakenheath, RAF Feltwell & RAF Mildenhall, the main Joint operated USAF bases in the UK last month too? (: @@DevilsAdvocate_HigherThanU
Ok sure, now explain why they're doing it over neighborhoods in New Jersey instead of the dozens of missile ranges and testing grounds. There's no simple explanation that makes sense/covers everything. Something weird is going on that is unlike anything that's happened before.
They can put nuclear bombs on them so its dangerous.. while many think our leaders think nobody' can win a nuclear war the one that strikes first has the advantage especially if the strike force is already in place
I live in the hampton roads area. I work on several of these bases. Lived here all my life. Here's my take. We don't have odd sightings often. Recently there have been several conflicts in story of the presence of naval vessels. Public information states that there have recently been an increase in 3d printers on naval vessels, specifically the types that have been questionable, carriers and destroyers. If history has taught us anything it's that when there is an unexpected aerial sighting, it's the us military. I think the navy, possibly the airforce, are testing new drones against the best defensive networks in the world, norfolk, Langley, Quantico and dc. If course everyone is playing dumb. The military NEVER says "idk" they always have some theory. They work what they have. They know that it would be embarrassing if a foreign nation caught the best defensive network in the world off guard. There are dozens of military bases in our area. Seals, nasa, cia, dia, homeland, secret service, fbi, every branch of the military. The probability of any of this being foreign is so small it's classified. They probably wouldn't be hurt by the public thinking it was China either.
Considering the length of time, I feel like this should all be over soon. Most tests like this are over in a few days and longer exercises rarely span more than a few weeks. I don't live in the area, so I don't know what's normal for you, but at what duration would this feel out of the norm for such a test?
So many ... and they all sound the same. He is a talking head. Other people write and research the material, and he does the face work. Makes decent money doing it, I hear.
@Wise101 It could be a simulated attack amongst many scenarios. I am no expert, but there are a thousand reasonable explanations, especially because nobody was injured and we are not at war.
@@Wise101 they probably have been. Logically they start out in desert to figure out how to make the things fly, then zip them around in denser and denser areas to test out their surveillance and antidetection capabilities. See how long and how many you can have before people start to notice and make noise.
I’m making my prediction: they are Shield AI’s V-BAT Teams drones. They won a coast guard contract in June for drone services, and in November we start seeing these unknown drones near naval facilities and following coast guard ships. I do not believe these drones are military owned, but rather individual companies seeking government contracts. Shield AI’s autonomous tech can be used on multiple drone types.
Well that would be easy for them to explain to the citizens of the US. So why not just say it. If this is something that is supposed to protect us hmm the cat is out of the bag and the whole World knows.
@@TheDHM3007 but that line of reasoning doesn't make sense. Everyone is talking about this now, no secrecy was acheived, and if they wanted to be secret why turn on all of the running lights?

I think we should start testing those laser systems. Then you only have to pay for the electricity, and can save on targets. Also, a tiny cheap drone can take out an AF jet sitting on the ground.
@fjalics Agreed, I don't know who's stopping Mayor's and Governors and what not from doing their jobs and handling these drones and protecting their citizens. But 100% agreed the more we sit around letting these things gather intelligence the worse off we are in the end.
@BingChillinCR Aren't military bases restricted airspace? If so then the military has automatic authority to shoot down anything flying in that airspace without authorization, which means they are being ordered not to shoot them down. Only question left is why.....
\Yea its dumb i was airforce security forces and i just got out recently and we would get drones over our base at night all the time. We wernt allowed to shoot them down and the drone busters hardly work. the new systems that they have are good but their in high demand and cant be made fast enough to be set up at every base that we have american troops or assets.
We face a lot of crazy stuff overseas that hasn’t been replicated here at home.

I live in a small beach town in California, and I hadn't seen any weird drones until last night. My husband and I were driving home, and we saw a very large drone. We've seen personal drones, yeah, but not one of the huge ones. It was flying low above some scrub oak and then disappeared into the trees...I don't think it crashed or anything, but the trees were in the way after that and then our road rounded a corner. Looked about three times larger than the normal drones you see people flying around as a hobby. Do they make them that huge for hobbyists? We're a couple hours from a military base, but we do have coast guard. I wondered if it was a police drone or one for the coast guard, although I don't know what would have been of intrest in a grove of scrub oaks. I doubt it's related to this, but it happened when all the drone stuff is making headlines, so we thought it was kinda funny.
Larger drones are typically just about having a longer flight time and/or carrying a heavier payload, from LIDAR to just better suited cameras for whatever task, and they see a lot of professional use. I've gone to a couple conferences where it seemed like every fifth booth was pitching multirotor drones the size of a car or equipment for them. For example, an oil company might want one that can fly 80 miles round trip from the base station, see the pipeline with 3 different sensors, and pause to give any anomalies a closer look.
Drone mapping, also known as aerial surveying, is the process of using a drone to take pictures of an area and then using software to create a 3D map Military drone mapping allows teams to quickly produce accurate maps of areas targeted for military operations Simultaneously gathering data from multiple drones, it gives military teams virtually real-time access to detailed 3D maps of a target area overlaid with Geographic Intelligence concerning rapidly developing situations on-the-ground. The groundbreaking technology was successfully demonstrated to U.S. Army Special Operations Command near Fort Bragg in 2022.

Not aliens. Demons. They’ve always been here. There are “angels,” too, apparently. It’s a war of allegiance. The demons want us on their side. We call them angels and demons but you can call them post-technological beings. They traverse reality like an airplane traverses the air, or a boat on the water. Their only possible concern is philosophy. It’s why they don’t just wipe us out. They want us on their side to expand the “empire” or “community” of consciousness (demons would prefer the former term). The universe is alive and constantly in strife; the demons see the propagation of power as the only ethic (Satan), while the angels see a community of symphonic peace, like a song reinventing and innovating on itself into infinitely higher and higher forms of, for lack of a better word, beauty (Christ). The demons believe in the certainty of power, whose sting is death. Death is quite certain, after all. The angels believe in, again, for lack of a more concise phrasing, Christ. Christ, while being a moment in history, is also a myth. It’s a particular story about that describes the what and why of being. I don’t really care to see how it goes. They can wake me up when it’s over. Rooting for the angels, I guess, even though I wish they’d all just leave us alone.
If they're flying over the US bases and aren't setting off alarms, it's either their own drones or Aliens. Given how 2024 has been going, I'm leaning towards Aliens.
The idea that an unauthorised intrusion into a military base cannot be legally met with what after all would not be lethal force seems unconvincing. And from a practical point of view there seems to ne nothing here that couldn't be fixed with a couple of squadrons of WW2 Mustangs.

Politicians and police chiefs have already come out and said in speeches to the American public they need to respond by making more rules and creating a drone fleet. This might just be them amping up the police state and surveillance and warming up the public to it with an urgency spin... Personally I've already been chased by a police drone outside of USA just because my friend set off fireworks in the woods on a holiday in a municipality that technically didnt allow fireworks... A police drone chased me in the dark until i passed under an electrical tower field and then it lost me. My friends went the other way to the road and were cuffed on the hood of a popo cruiser. The drone was just hovering watching us until I realized. This is our new reality and its coming to you too soon
Rubbish, they wouldn’t test over heavily dense populated areas, they have test areas for new equipment so they don’t kill civilians besides the pentagon spokesperson confirmed it was NOT from the U.S. Military.
While the video may make viewers fearful of drones as a potential tool of attack, there is no denying that drones are also becoming useful tools in military operations, from surveillance to tactical support. The use of drones by militaries to enhance combat effectiveness and gather intelligence is widespread and can help reduce the risk to soldiers. This shows that, despite some concerns about the threat posed by drones, they can also be used to protect military bases and enhance national security.
Take it from somebody who’s lived in the area for so long in the inland empire I saw unmanned aerial vehicles, military grade style drones flying around. They’re definitely trying to send a message. It’s crazy what is going on if anybody were to fly there consumer level drone near a military base they would immediately have hundreds of authorities chasing after them.
Night before last, I was flying as a passenger on a A321 JetBlue Heavy plane over jersey New York ending at JFK airport and we saw a “Drone” above our height, with a HUGELY Intense Light. Never seen anything like it. Then it zipped away over the ocean and then a sharp drive straight Down at an incredible speed into the darkness of over the ocean, without slowing down!

Would certainly be nice to figure this junk out. I almost wonder if these drones are autonomous. And land in secluded areas in the day and recharge with solar panels
It would be impossible to charge drones that big with solar, the amount of power and energy they need is insane. My teacher had a 50k drone that took giant batteries the size of a forearm and it only would fly for 30 minutes
@@mattt525 One explanation was already mentioned in the vid -- Red Cell activities to evaluate defenses for later improvement. Another is a bit more nefarious and much harder to prove. Preparation for transforming the US into a surveillance state where freedoms can be more easily denied due to 24/7 observation EVERYWHERE.
The solution would be to harden bases or move sensitive assets indoors/underground. These commercial drones tend to be a waste of ammo to shoot down with anything less than small arms, and the worrying about debris is legitimate. They are almost useless flyovers unless it's a secret facility. If it's a secret facility, then there are no civilians so they can just jam them out of the air. It's a non-issue really, and it's likely not espionage form China or Russia, being they could simply use satellites to see these rather large installations.
These are our drones. Most sightings are civilian planes though & overzealous or paranoid civilians. Military units already have EW capabilities and electromagnetic spectrum “tools” The drones haven’t been neutralized / downed on purpose bc they are ours. The only issue I have is our govt not making a statement to calm civilians after performing their tests
@ yep, and how would they know they are not a threat…bc they are our drones. Reports are starting to circulate MSM, which our govt influences to an extent, that this is a classified operation and the drones are performing scanning services for “material” I’m onboard with the fact that everyday civilians shouldn’t be privy to very sensitive operations, except when it involves public safety domestically. Idgaf what our country is doing in Moldova for example, but anything here in CONUS, we the public have a right to be informed.
@@fj949 oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were speculating. While I agree we shouldn’t trust the provided statement, I’m not convinced espionage or violent acts via civilian class drones hasn’t happened already, nor that we are prepared to prevent and defend against it moving forward. This is just my speculation, probably less informed
@@fj949 side note, the vast majority of those videos circulating are of airplanes, you’re spot on about paranoid civilians and media sensationalism *forgot u already said that
@ I’m not speculating on the nature of them being our drones…they are our drones. My previous career made me privy to certain things. I just don’t know what they are doing specifically. My knowledge and experience is all overseas, and there has been enough reporting, and movies, and podcast interviews that anyone can reasonably know what we used the drones for. And my knowledge is dated bc I retired from service almost 10 years ago. This technology from my experience changes / upgrades every 90 days on average. These are not UAPs (Aliens, etc), Iranian drones, or any other threat adversaries drones.
It seems to me that if these drones fly at about 100mph and have limited max altitude, it shouldn't require radar tracking to follow them back to where they came. None of the aircraft employed by the Air Force could fly slow enough to follow and observe said drones. An F-16 is extreme overkill, but a helicopter would be able to follow, match speed, and maintain visual contact.............if the drones swarms even ever existed in the first place. So much BS is put out these days, that like the saying goes, "believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see"
E3 Sentry, E7, or RC135W Rivet Joint typically fly loops, keeping the area of interest within range for ISTAR missions. Doppler radar allows them to see right down to the ground what is moving. So hobby or commercial or military UAV would be fully visible, possibly requiring EW to overcome low observable units. So it's hugely unlikely that these UAV swarms are not tracked, maybe not the first time but afterwards..
Remember how quickly the US shot down the Chinese "weather" balloon? The fact the military haven't responded in a similar way makes me think the drones are domestic but they're withholding information from the public.
@@Madeoftea Because they didn't want to shoot it over land, hence why they shot it over water and then retrieved it. The US could have shot it down whenever they wanted to.
Apparently it's across America, UK , Russia and various other places. Richard Dolan is investigating this claim. Many officials who have witnessed the drones say that their behaviour is very strange and unusual. But how unusual?
exactly, this is like UFOs I'm the 50s/60s. They are US military drones, just not part of a reporting department. Either being used as an OPFOR to test vulnerabilities or just new tech.
Ah, they said they aren't "the government" they didn't respond to the question if they are American. They are. They're more than likely some Skunk Works project. Why do I think this? I'm in secured airspace because of Lockheed Martin. I have seen these clearly, one is the "white winged" ones and the other are the black box ones. They are following a pattern. 3 nights in a row I've watched them. I spent 13 hrs today scanning both my skies (2 small personal planes from 9am-3pm) passed by me. But at 5:15pm and still currently happening, I've seen either the same ones on a loop or a bunch of them. Either way, they are NOT planes. Unless they just don't refuel for hours and like to stay in the same pattern for now nearly 6 hours. (10:55 pm) Either these planes are vampires that just don't fly when the sun is up, or they belong to a military base or Lockheed - at least in my area.
Here are some questions. Why doesn't the government shoot the drones down even if it involves a policy adjustment? Why don't they send another drone to follow these drones to see where they are coming from? What is their origin point, space? Why do the drones stay in the air so long? What is the power source? Do they have plutonium batteries?
You know for a nation that is full of people who talk tough about shooting down hobby drones if they fly into their “air space” I’m extremely disappointed that there’s a lack of anyone actually shooting these things down or trying to anyway.
New Jersey is pretty dense. Prior to common belief, most Americans that own guns are aware of safety issues. Shooting into the air in a dense suburb isn't really something anyone would do
@pauld.b7129 sum idiot fired their gun into the air during a summer celebration here. The bullet came down in another neighborhood n hit a girl in the head. Most people are not that stupid but a few special individuals impress.
As a drone hobbyist I can absolutely guarantee this is not another hobbyist. Commercial drones are not 20 feet long, flying 100mph @ 4000 feet. A commercial drone will also detect if you are flying into military airspace and stop responding to controls.
If anything this sounds like a government agency trying to prove the vulnerability of other departments to request funding. Wait for the report to be released in a couple years, that’s my bet.
The same thing happened around a couple of London/UK airports 6 years ago, closed airports for days but no actual proof provided, drones claimed to be flying longer/further than most drones, resulted in forced licencing and registration of all but the smallest toy drones in the UK, at £12 a year, oh and a load of investment in anti-drone companies.
there is no way none of these wouldnt of been tracked back to their point of launch by now and if it is foreign interference, the large number of them would make it more likely to have the launch site caught
Tiger Teams
Finally, some people who are not talking conspiracy nonsense but plausible explanations based on things our government does.
There are recent videos of what appears to be drones firing weapons. I do not have the skills to determine if those are false or not, but a lot of people are watching this with apprehension and the government is simply not addressing the concerns of the American people. We're simply being told "Nothing to worry about" but in the same statement will tell us "We don't know anything." Those two stances are incongruent.
As someone who owns 2 commercial grade drones, the app used to fly them will not allow me to fly into military zones. The app will actually force land the drone on its own
Yes DJIs, if you have a racing drone with no GPS it would be possible.
Your information was outdated 3 years ago
@@VisionVertices These drones are the size of cars. They aren't commercial drones using GPS.
@@mervyit I know but thats not what jason said he said his drones cant fly over a military base.
Drones coming from other countries such as China or Iran won't have such regulations especially if they come by parts and not as a whole.
the fact they weren't able to find and trace the drones going back to their origin point means either criminal incompetence or they know more than meets the eye about them
As someone who served in the military and worked in defense contracting, its the 2nd option. My belief is that this was a "red cell" operation to test US ability to track and intercept drones. The US surveillance system is ridiculous, and if you knew what they are capable of nowadays it would probably send a shiver down your spine. I sincerely doubt anyone could evade that system, we already track Russian, Iranian, and Chinese assets like fucking hawks, we know everything they do, if these drones were from any of them, we would know. If these were foreign drones, we likely aren't telling who it is because we already know and are waiting to see what they do next.
I'm gonna go with the latter. This just seems like some good old domestic testing that they're being hush about. It's not that complicated... If we didn't know the origin, it wouldn't be that crazy to either figure out, or shoot them down. And yet, we keep seeing them.
Or a combination of both, which I am inclined to think is the reality in this outgoing administration.
Please only trust the a ladder of the two
Maybe they're robots in disguise?
For those of you who dont know, the US military already has developed and put into active service dozens of systems that can shoot down small drones. This capability has existed for years. EMP weapons, radars, acoustic devices, man portable and vehicle counter drone guns all exist right now. Look up MLIDS, coyote, KurFS, VAMPIRE, Dronegun/Droneshield, mjolnir/thor, lattice sentry tower, silent archer, Leonidas, titan, and MEDUSA, these are all current US government systems that the military is already using to take out small drones.
Like the other guy said that's nice but its clearly not working is it, not hard to imagine someone made that tech obsolete!
The biggest flaw with the US is they never do well with something new, always takes em awhile before they catch up and perfect it, clearly this is VERY MODERN TECH beyond what the military is currently able to deal with, also shooting them down is a stupid idea till we understand the tech AND from what I've learned they have shot a few of these down quietly outside a few bases, that tells me they are aware and investigating OR are planning for defense, also this could very well be our own military playing fucking games with us citizens as well, would not be the first time in American history, like he said in the vid it may all be a internal test of our capabilities.
@MikeSmithJunior yes. they do. China ran experiments and they found 30% drone casualty rate against their protections. Drone swarms are seriously strong. But the thing is when balloons came over, they were tracked and shot down. Conversely, when stealth bombers flew they said "we don't know maybe aliens" it's likely these drone situations are simulated attacks and they don't want other foreign powers to know how they're handling them. There wasn't a single report of a captured, shot down, or scrambled drone. IF they did, we would have heard it. Means it's our tech.
@@DROK278 I seriously think they're our's honestly. the us is constantly playing wargames and I didn't hear anything about the us shotting any down.

A few news orgs in New Jersey got some decent footage of them.
Bruh do you not have eyes? Just look online
There’s a couple of them. There was a guy recording with a professional tripod camera
That's going to be difficult. You need a fairly large telephoto lens to get any detail on a drone a mile away and for practical purposes the telephoto lens needs to be gyro stabilized. At night the bright lights will still swamp everything in the photo. It's really hard to see a Mavic 3 sized drone just 500 yards away, let alone a mile away. At 500 yards it will pretty much only be a dark dot against the sky assuming you have 20/20 vision. Even with a 100 megapixel mobile phone camera with barely 2-3x optical zoom and 4k video compression it won't even be a dot during the daytime and in the night time just the lights will show. If you have the wits to take an uncompressed 100 Mpix photo, you might see something. On a 4k video, not really.
I'm in South Jersey, the War of the Worlds effect is certainly happening here, funny that it's New Jersey again. Every night I see posts from my neighbors claiming they spotted drones over our town accompanied by a video. Very easily identifiable as an airplane. I mean, we live under the flight path of PHL people 🤦♂ I am not discounting the drone mystery at all, I do think it's for real, but mass hysteria is setting in.
Indeed.. the people of Grover’s Mill better watch out! As should the people of Kecksburg Pennsylvania. The “aliens” are coming!! This is just a major distraction for something else.. The “bestest, most powerfullest country in the whole wide world” can’t “figure this out”, speaks volumes about those above.. don’t look up! Go murica!
It's probably a psychological operation by the government. Either to distract, take more control or as an excuse to unite the public by inducing fear. If it were real aliens, there's no way they would let them fly over the military bases without declaring national emergency
These are seen flying in so many military locations in so many countries I think its just training of military drone operators after recent deployment of various drone types. They are flying at night so nobody can verify launch and retrieval locations. At operational altitude they use lights so operators and civilian aircraft can see them. The reported long flight times are the result of advanced military power systems such as advanced battery technology and advanced fuel cell systems such as that first developed for the Navy which has hydrogen on tap.
You live in a b movie. Imaginationland
That’s what happens when a government lies & gaslights. People speculate, & then radicalize. It’s actually pissing me off. They need to be honest and they won’t…so what do they expect? People will only get more hysterical. I’ve already seen many freaking out about the second coming of Christ & end days. The gov needs to speak tf up!!!!!!!
As some who currently works building drones and used to work as an RF engineer, these are HPGe nuclear detection drones. They are used to detect gamma rays miles away and are being tested in case a "dirty bomb" is shipped in through a port of entry. They are being used in drills and in these drills they are sweeping certain areas to detect for these signatures. They will probably be used around ports of entry like NYC. They are doing the testing near civilian areas to gauge the public's response but these drones are probably on a very need to know basis. This is the most plausible reason for these drones.
someone with an actual brain, thank you. its extremely clear, at least I thought, that the drones belong to the U.S. Military. they are swarming the bases because thats where the drones are kept. this nuclear detection angle actually makes sense also. people are reporting the drones seemingly flying the same route over and over.
Interesting, hadn't thought of that.
Yes, they're clearly sweeping when in such a formation, but gee..wouldn't we like to know WHO .. :) But your theory of monitoring makes total sense!!

It's not a coincidence the UFO conspiracy s are being trotted out again as a cover.

This is my take on the drone situation, forefront: im not a US citizen. Point 1: the drones are mostly concentrated in city center and military installations. 2.the gov refused to elaborate further. This is what i think happen. The drone might be some form of new defensive system from military similar to Iron Dome. This is all training or proof of concept. The reason for secrecy is to prevent adversary from discovering more about the capability.
This is the military letting the world know they got better shit.
@mattk8810 yeah that's what I think really happened, show of power to adversaries
Typically the element of surprise is better than a show of power. The issue is that a show of power can be fake, and may be misinterpreted. What you say seems very possible though, definitely in my top 3 explanations.
Bingo. Definitely military testing new drone capabilities
drones dont fly out of lakes and the ocean in nj bro.
I live in Central Jersey under the final approach for Newark Liberty Airport- planes are constantly flying right overhead. As a plane enthusiast and USAF veteran, I love it. I've been hearing about the drones for some time, but it wasn't until early December that I actually saw them cutting across the airliner's flight path, but at a lower altitude. I've also seen several flying in formation, abreast of each other, parallel to the NJ Turnpike, which I live a few blocks away from. It's weird, and at the same time, it's the times we live in. We all knew this day was coming, and we're going to be seeing more drones with more uses.

Who told you about the [redacted]?
lol.....what a fool
I thought of that yesterday and would have originally agreed with you. But this is over major military installations and urban areas, not a secure airbase such as at Groom Lake with facilities and history of aviation research and testing.
There are several things to consider here, and most of them make that highly unlikely. We have to consider how the US has treated secret projects in the past, and the nature of those strange occurrences. The over arching concept to consider is that the US would like to minimize the risk of their secrets becoming public knowledge. So some questions I would ask are, if the US are testing secret military drone technology, why are they doing it in highly populated civilian areas? Why are they doing it in numerous locations instead of confining it to minimize the risk of exposure? and why on earth would they be testing them in overseas locations?
To be clear, I'm not attempting to talk down to you at all, but I think that you aren't looking at this from an objective perspective. The nature of these drones is not concurrent with prior US actions involving secret technology.
Why are these UFO's being seen over the UK and just recently reports of the same in Russia and China.

I grew up behind NAS Oceana. Got to see some wild things in those days. All manner of planes and helicopters (seeing F-117’s fly less than 200ft over your house weeks before Operation Desert Storm deployment as a kid was insane). The fact that they’re flying over the largest military bases on the east coast doesn’t surprise me. In fact, I expect it. If you’re testing combat readiness for US military assets, that’s where you do it.
Side note: If I’m not mistaken, Seal Team 6 is actually stationed out of Dam Neck, the sub base nearby (actually, just across Oceana Blvd from one of the runways. It’s been a while since I’ve been back, but I’m pretty sure that specific area is likely to have stayed much the same).

For the record, Dam Neck isn't a sub base.

They fly them thing all over where I live and sometimes times they are hot
I live in Virginia. I see them almost every time I drive near a specific airport, and near the military bases. I honestly thought they were military cuz I’ve also had a fighter helicopter fly like maybe 200ft above interstate 95 as it went from base to base. I remember thinking “well damn, if I was a conspiracy guy this would be ruffling my feathers.”
I live near an airport and many times planes will “hover” in place waiting for clearance to land

No enemy country would easily perform such an act, flying openly over residential areas and causing national chaos. Therefore, this must be a government classified project or a UAP, but it is very different from the typical form and behavior of UAPs.

Good job on this vid Simon. Explains a lot.
My hypothesis : a US drone supremacy program triggered by the war in Ukraine. This is not about using a drone to perform a task, this is about creating a swarm so powerful that the enemy thinks twice about any offensive actions.

There's a video from 10 years ago talking about drone technology they're working on. A lot sounds similar to the few legit reports (the ones not obviously planes)
Another video from 4 months ago is very clear they will step in if shits going south. It's basically a statement of intent.
So the drones that are evading f-16s are our own drones and a lot of the back and forth we see are those in the need-to-know, and those not, within various gov't agencies?
If suppose that makes sense if we're missing some major piece of the puzzle, as in... Y'know, the specifics. lol

Inter-agency war - the current govt isn't convinced enough to supply funding for advanced drone programs, so we're gonna launch swarms under another compartmented program to show how incapable they are without our research.
This is either a military drone program that is currently classified. Or a military contractor working in a drone program program that is currently classified.
They maybe testing said capabilities against our own security, but nobody actually seems concerned, and their not even trying to hide it.
They have lights, despite the fact that their operating in spaces that would be illegal for anyone to do without permission, and yet no warrants or even alerts have been filed for anything.
The problem with this theory is that people are freaking out when they see strange drome swarms over their houses.

Also there were two different sightings of drones over Germany in two different locations.
Our company is based out of Norfolk, near the naval bases, and we find these occurrences really alarming. Operating a drone in our area is actually quite difficult due to the air traffic restrictions. Most modern drones, especially those by DJI, will NOT allow you to even fly in most parts of Norfolk so whomever is flying these has bypassed that software safety measure intentionally.
It’s our military doing drone night flight targeting ranges. Kind of like for snipers but involving drones. Black out and spot them from different radars and platforms. Not everyone is read in lol
This is the best explanation as to why they didn't advertise the 'exercises.' they are actively discovering the nuances of their own weaknesses

Finally someone with some sense
The drones belong to your government.
They can put nuclear bombs on them so its dangerous.. while many think our leaders think nobody' can win a nuclear war the one that strikes first has the advantage especially if the strike force is already in place
I live in the hampton roads area. I work on several of these bases. Lived here all my life. Here's my take.
We don't have odd sightings often. Recently there have been several conflicts in story of the presence of naval vessels. Public information states that there have recently been an increase in 3d printers on naval vessels, specifically the types that have been questionable, carriers and destroyers.
If history has taught us anything it's that when there is an unexpected aerial sighting, it's the us military. I think the navy, possibly the airforce, are testing new drones against the best defensive networks in the world, norfolk, Langley, Quantico and dc. If course everyone is playing dumb. The military NEVER says "idk" they always have some theory. They work what they have. They know that it would be embarrassing if a foreign nation caught the best defensive network in the world off guard. There are dozens of military bases in our area. Seals, nasa, cia, dia, homeland, secret service, fbi, every branch of the military. The probability of any of this being foreign is so small it's classified. They probably wouldn't be hurt by the public thinking it was China either.
Considering the length of time, I feel like this should all be over soon. Most tests like this are over in a few days and longer exercises rarely span more than a few weeks. I don't live in the area, so I don't know what's normal for you, but at what duration would this feel out of the norm for such a test?

This was likely a defense contractor testing a drone swarm system. It will be a classified program.
Why test it in a densely populated area and not in a rural area where little to no people live?
@Wise101 It could be a simulated attack amongst many scenarios. I am no expert, but there are a thousand reasonable explanations, especially because nobody was injured and we are not at war.
@Wise101 People fly aircraft and drones over populated areas all day every day, all the time. You just never look up to see.
@@Wise101 they probably have been. Logically they start out in desert to figure out how to make the things fly, then zip them around in denser and denser areas to test out their surveillance and antidetection capabilities.

@@Wise101 "and not in rural areas where little to no people live.." What do you think many of those previous "UFO" sightings have been?
I’m making my prediction: they are Shield AI’s V-BAT Teams drones. They won a coast guard contract in June for drone services, and in November we start seeing these unknown drones near naval facilities and following coast guard ships. I do not believe these drones are military owned, but rather individual companies seeking government contracts. Shield AI’s autonomous tech can be used on multiple drone types.
Well that would be easy for them to explain to the citizens of the US. So why not just say it. If this is something that is supposed to protect us hmm the cat is out of the bag and the whole World knows.

It's not that we can't take them out, We don't have the authority too. Kind of Ridiculous.
I think we should start testing those laser systems. Then you only have to pay for the electricity, and can save on targets. Also, a tiny cheap drone can take out an AF jet sitting on the ground.
@fjalics Agreed, I don't know who's stopping Mayor's and Governors and what not from doing their jobs and handling these drones and protecting their citizens. But 100% agreed the more we sit around letting these things gather intelligence the worse off we are in the end.
@BingChillinCR Aren't military bases restricted airspace? If so then the military has automatic authority to shoot down anything flying in that airspace without authorization, which means they are being ordered not to shoot them down. Only question left is why.....
\Yea its dumb i was airforce security forces and i just got out recently and we would get drones over our base at night all the time. We wernt allowed to shoot them down and the drone busters hardly work. the new systems that they have are good but their in high demand and cant be made fast enough to be set up at every base that we have american troops or assets.
We face a lot of crazy stuff overseas that hasn’t been replicated here at home. Listening to gulf war vets talk about how they see some trash on the side of the road and think “That’s an IED” is really chilling, nothing is stopping these threats from materializing, if the domestic situation ever changes. It’ll be quick
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I live in a small beach town in California, and I hadn't seen any weird drones until last night. My husband and I were driving home, and we saw a very large drone. We've seen personal drones, yeah, but not one of the huge ones. It was flying low above some scrub oak and then disappeared into the trees...I don't think it crashed or anything, but the trees were in the way after that and then our road rounded a corner. Looked about three times larger than the normal drones you see people flying around as a hobby. Do they make them that huge for hobbyists? We're a couple hours from a military base, but we do have coast guard. I wondered if it was a police drone or one for the coast guard, although I don't know what would have been of intrest in a grove of scrub oaks. I doubt it's related to this, but it happened when all the drone stuff is making headlines, so we thought it was kinda funny.
Larger drones are typically just about having a longer flight time and/or carrying a heavier payload, from LIDAR to just better suited cameras for whatever task, and they see a lot of professional use. I've gone to a couple conferences where it seemed like every fifth booth was pitching multirotor drones the size of a car or equipment for them. For example, an oil company might want one that can fly 80 miles round trip from the base station, see the pipeline with 3 different sensors, and pause to give any anomalies a closer look.
Probably an agricultural drone. Are you in a rural agricultural area? They use drones for spraying and seeding fields now.
X was lit up last night about 2am -5am with drones in cali along the coast
Per Ryan Macbeth you're talking about for drones like that.
So if it's a hobbyist, it's a wealthy one.

But why would a foreign adversaries drones be very highly illuminated when flying over US sensitive sites?
Finally! A solid explanation on this situation.
Drone mapping, also known as aerial surveying, is the process of using a drone to take pictures of an area and then using software to create a 3D map
Military drone mapping allows teams to quickly produce accurate maps of areas targeted for military operations Simultaneously gathering data from multiple drones, it gives military teams virtually real-time access to detailed 3D maps of a target area overlaid with Geographic Intelligence concerning rapidly developing situations on-the-ground.
The groundbreaking technology was successfully demonstrated to U.S. Army Special Operations Command near Fort Bragg in 2022.

@@J_C95 Without any visual reference cues, such as a known reference distance or the size of objects in the foreground or background, it is impossible to accurately determine the size, distance, or speed of an object. In situations where accuracy is crucial, this limitation can have significant implications. To appreciate the extent of this inaccuracy, try visually estimating the distance of an object in daylight and observe how far off you are when verifying. When combined with limited light, the margin of error becomes even more pronounced, highlighting the importance of visual reference cues in making accurate assessments.

Thank God someone with research skills is looking into this. Reddit thinks it's aliens for sure lol
Not at all. The majority of people (even on reddit) are quite skeptical. The question is- do they WANT us skeptical or do they want us convinced😅
That's what the aliens would want you to think!
Not aliens. Demons. They’ve always been here. There are “angels,” too, apparently. It’s a war of allegiance. The demons want us on their side.
We call them angels and demons but you can call them post-technological beings. They traverse reality like an airplane traverses the air, or a boat on the water. Their only possible concern is philosophy. It’s why they don’t just wipe us out. They want us on their side to expand the “empire” or “community” of consciousness (demons would prefer the former term). The universe is alive and constantly in strife; the demons see the propagation of power as the only ethic (Satan), while the angels see a community of symphonic peace, like a song reinventing and innovating on itself into infinitely higher and higher forms of, for lack of a better word, beauty (Christ).
The demons believe in the certainty of power, whose sting is death. Death is quite certain, after all. The angels believe in, again, for lack of a more concise phrasing, Christ. Christ, while being a moment in history, is also a myth. It’s a particular story about that describes the what and why of being.
I don’t really care to see how it goes. They can wake me up when it’s over. Rooting for the angels, I guess, even though I wish they’d all just leave us alone.

Politicians and police chiefs have already come out and said in speeches to the American public they need to respond by making more rules and creating a drone fleet. This might just be them amping up the police state and surveillance and warming up the public to it with an urgency spin... Personally I've already been chased by a police drone outside of USA just because my friend set off fireworks in the woods on a holiday in a municipality that technically didnt allow fireworks... A police drone chased me in the dark until i passed under an electrical tower field and then it lost me. My friends went the other way to the road and were cuffed on the hood of a popo cruiser. The drone was just hovering watching us until I realized. This is our new reality and its coming to you too soon
Maybe a US military exercise in order to check vulnerabilities, a la war games?
Rubbish, they wouldn’t test over heavily dense populated areas, they have test areas for new equipment so they don’t kill civilians besides the pentagon spokesperson confirmed it was NOT from the U.S. Military.
While the video may make viewers fearful of drones as a potential tool of attack, there is no denying that drones are also becoming useful tools in military operations, from surveillance to tactical support. The use of drones by militaries to enhance combat effectiveness and gather intelligence is widespread and can help reduce the risk to soldiers. This shows that, despite some concerns about the threat posed by drones, they can also be used to protect military bases and enhance national security.
Thanks GPT.
Take it from somebody who’s lived in the area for so long in the inland empire I saw unmanned aerial vehicles, military grade style drones flying around. They’re definitely trying to send a message. It’s crazy what is going on if anybody were to fly there consumer level drone near a military base they would immediately have hundreds of authorities chasing after them.
Night before last, I was flying as a passenger on a A321 JetBlue Heavy plane over jersey New York ending at JFK airport and we saw a “Drone” above our height, with a HUGELY Intense Light.

Would certainly be nice to figure this junk out. I almost wonder if these drones are autonomous. And land in secluded areas in the day and recharge with solar panels
It would be impossible to charge drones that big with solar, the amount of power and energy they need is insane. My teacher had a 50k drone that took giant batteries the size of a forearm and it only would fly for 30 minutes
@asrielkekker got damn. Okay, there is no other way to power these I assume?

@@Robert_Douglass but why would this even be a thing? If they are US drones what purpose is this serving?
@@mattt525 One explanation was already mentioned in the vid -- Red Cell activities to evaluate defenses for later improvement.
Another is a bit more nefarious and much harder to prove. Preparation for transforming the US into a surveillance state where freedoms can be more easily denied due to 24/7 observation EVERYWHERE.
The solution would be to harden bases or move sensitive assets indoors/underground. These commercial drones tend to be a waste of ammo to shoot down with anything less than small arms, and the worrying about debris is legitimate. They are almost useless flyovers unless it's a secret facility. If it's a secret facility, then there are no civilians so they can just jam them out of the air. It's a non-issue really, and it's likely not espionage form China or Russia, being they could simply use satellites to see these rather large installations.
Thanks for the insight
These are our drones. Most sightings are civilian planes though & overzealous or paranoid civilians.
Military units already have EW capabilities and electromagnetic spectrum “tools”
The drones haven’t been neutralized / downed on purpose bc they are ours.
The only issue I have is our govt not making a statement to calm civilians after performing their tests
The statement that they have repeatedly made is “we don’t know what it is, we haven’t corroborated the sightings, it is not a threat”
@ yep, and how would they know they are not a threat…bc they are our drones. Reports are starting to circulate MSM, which our govt influences to an extent, that this is a classified operation and the drones are performing scanning services for “material”
I’m onboard with the fact that everyday civilians shouldn’t be privy to very sensitive operations, except when it involves public safety domestically. Idgaf what our country is doing in Moldova for example, but anything here in CONUS, we the public have a right to be informed.
@@fj949 oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were speculating. While I agree we shouldn’t trust the provided statement, I’m not convinced espionage or violent acts via civilian class drones hasn’t happened already, nor that we are prepared to prevent and defend against it moving forward. This is just my speculation, probably less informed
@@fj949 side note, the vast majority of those videos circulating are of airplanes, you’re spot on about paranoid civilians and media sensationalism *forgot u already said that
@ I’m not speculating on the nature of them being our drones…they are our drones. My previous career made me privy to certain things. I just don’t know what they are doing specifically. My knowledge and experience is all overseas, and there has been enough reporting, and movies, and podcast interviews that anyone can reasonably know what we used the drones for. And my knowledge is dated bc I retired from service almost 10 years ago. This technology from my experience changes / upgrades every 90 days on average.
These are not UAPs (Aliens, etc), Iranian drones, or any other threat adversaries drones.
It seems to me that if these drones fly at about 100mph and have limited max altitude, it shouldn't require radar tracking to follow them back to where they came. None of the aircraft employed by the Air Force could fly slow enough to follow and observe said drones. An F-16 is extreme overkill, but a helicopter would be able to follow, match speed, and maintain visual contact.............if the drones swarms even ever existed in the first place. So much BS is put out these days, that like the saying goes, "believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see"
E3 Sentry, E7, or RC135W Rivet Joint typically fly loops, keeping the area of interest within range for ISTAR missions. Doppler radar allows them to see right down to the ground what is moving. So hobby or commercial or military UAV would be fully visible, possibly requiring EW to overcome low observable units.
So it's hugely unlikely that these UAV swarms are not tracked, maybe not the first time but afterwards..
is that why jets are seeing them at cruising altitude and theyre keeping up with F35s at full burn?
Remember how quickly the US shot down the Chinese "weather" balloon? The fact the military haven't responded in a similar way makes me think the drones are domestic but they're withholding information from the public.
It wasn’t quick. It flew over the entire continent before being shot down in the Atlantic.
Quickly is a strange adverb to use for that event
@@Madeoftea Because they didn't want to shoot it over land, hence why they shot it over water and then retrieved it. The US could have shot it down whenever they wanted to.
@@Madeoftea the point still stands.
Good assessment.
Apparently it's across America, UK , Russia and various other places. Richard Dolan is investigating this claim.
Many officials who have witnessed the drones say that their behaviour is very strange and unusual. But how unusual?
It's being allowed to happen
exactly, this is like UFOs I'm the 50s/60s. They are US military drones, just not part of a reporting department. Either being used as an OPFOR to test vulnerabilities or just new tech.
Biggest wrinkle is that the pentagon has already confirmed they are not from the U.S. Military or a foreign adversary, so….
Ah so a government agency like the department of defense or energy. Makes the most sense to me
Ah, they said they aren't "the government" they didn't respond to the question if they are American. They are. They're more than likely some Skunk Works project. Why do I think this?
I'm in secured airspace because of Lockheed Martin. I have seen these clearly, one is the "white winged" ones and the other are the black box ones. They are following a pattern. 3 nights in a row I've watched them. I spent 13 hrs today scanning both my skies (2 small personal planes from 9am-3pm) passed by me. But at 5:15pm and still currently happening, I've seen either the same ones on a loop or a bunch of them. Either way, they are NOT planes. Unless they just don't refuel for hours and like to stay in the same pattern for now nearly 6 hours. (10:55 pm) Either these planes are vampires that just don't fly when the sun is up, or they belong to a military base or Lockheed - at least in my area.
BECAUSE ALIENS!
Here are some questions. Why doesn't the government shoot the drones down even if it involves a policy adjustment? Why don't they send another drone to follow these drones to see where they are coming from? What is their origin point, space?
Why do the drones stay in the air so long? What is the power source? Do they have plutonium batteries?
A lot a obviously Airliners.
I would tend to believe this is a "Red Cell" unit working to expose possible vulnerabilities of sensitive bases.
Or something similar to a war game: a vulnerability test so they could learn from it.
First open AI model o1 tries to escape and copy itself, then drones are flying over military bases... skynet is coming sooner than we expected.
