Thoughts on UFO/UAP sightings in NJ?

[julianthedragon]

In case you missed it, lately there has been an influx of UFO/UAP reports in NJ, mostly over Morris and Somerset counties.

Any thoughts about this? Bonus question: I know quite a few LPF members are from Jersey, and there's a good intersection in the venn diagram of laser people and photography people — would anyone be interested in trying to take a better photo of these than the 10x zoom iPhone mush being put on the news? I would never suggest shining a laser at any vehicle, but it crossed my mind, especially since these seem unmanned.

I wonder what their flight time is

Personal drones ?
How about a drone backpack ?

Should be able to build our own experimental aircraft for a lot less money or buy kits as long as we do 51% or more of the assembly work.

Congressional hearing today on the nuisance drone swarms and who is flying them and why with the idea to eliminate them.
Are they sky/airspace trolls being flown by kids and people with nothing to do?
Officials are asking questions/looking into perhaps more sinister possible uses a well.

All newer drones have to transmit a digital ID identifying them but older drone and homemade drones do not have digital ID transmitters.

It must be daguin riding the world's first flying Harley across the country to SELEM! With extra saddlebags to carry his whole collection of big frame argons!

Do you have any links to info about the hearing?

No nothing more about it on the TV news.
Was just a very brief one sentence mention in a TV news report talking about FBI and DOD investigating along with local police I was listening to while I was focused on doing something else. Whoever is flying the drones is certainly an annoying nuisance.
Found this:
WASHINGTON (TNND) — On Friday morning, Pentagon officials held a classified briefing with the House Oversight Committee on Capitol Hill reportedly to discuss the unidentified objects flying over military sites and President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in central New Jersey.

Interesting note:
Recreational drone use is allowed only within the boundary of a private residential property with the owner's consent. Commercial drone use by a licensed operator is allowed within the boundary of a private residential property with the owner's consent.
The involvement of the FBI, alongside New Jersey State Police and the state’s Office of Homeland Security, underscores the seriousness of the investigation. Officials have encouraged anyone with information about the drones to come forward by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI or submitting a tip online.
