Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about New Jersey UFO drones are
back. That's correct, New Jersey UFO
drones are back. I know we haven't been hearing
too much about them in the news lately with all the other stuff
going on, but looks like these things are back.
This first article comes to us from indiatimes.com.
It says unidentified drones return over New Jersey and New
York after FAA lifts ban begins by telling us the mysterious
large size drones are back over New Jersey and New York after
Federal Aviation Administration lift the ban.
Additionally, these unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles are now
being spotted beyond the New York and New Jersey regions.
We've received over 100 reports in the past three weeks that
mention IT drones across the US, said Enigma Labs spokesperson
Christine Kim, referencing their user submitted data.
This is another one of these companies comes out here for you
to report your UFO sightings to. Honestly, I'd just rather have
people go straight to new Ford. We created our live action drone
map in December to help the public and investigators track
drone sightings in the tri-state, he added.
See, they're making the false assumption right there that
these things are all drones. They're not identified.
We don't know what they are. According to Kim, New Jersey
continues to be a center of drone observations.
The New York based organizations iPhone application and
interactive map, which documents unidentified anomalous
phenomena, has collected 22,000 sightings in 2024, predominantly
in the Northeast region. We've been getting more and more
reports, including a surge of them last week, Kim said, with
28 reports, including an account of a hovering all are changing
objects over Hoboken on January 14th.
Enigma Labs collects data through user submissions and
initiated tracking when an unidentified aerial objects
sparked concern and distress across New Jersey and other
parts of the country and late November.
The problem I have with this app is it's funneling all this
collected Crowdsource data into their website.
I just wish people would stick with New Fork because they make
the stuff publicly available to all of us, Goes on and says the
organization has accumulated 650 drone sighting reports across
the United States, with 154 occurrences documented in
January, including recent observations in Hoboken and
Stockton, New Jersey. Look, if you don't identify the
drone operator, how do you know it's a drone?
According to Enigma's data, more than half of the submitted
reports describe the objects as hovering or maintaining
prolonged aerial presence, while 25% noted multiple objects
operating in groups of five or more.
Following the FAA flight restrictions implemented on
December 18th, Kim noted a 43% decrease in reported sightings.
Enigma received approximately 50 sightings reports on December
18th, The number drastically reduced to 4 reports and the
following week. Looks to me like you're trying
to put this narrative forward that these things are just
drones and that, hey, these guys must have all been law abiding
citizens out there flying these things around, huh?
After the restrictions were removed on January 17th, Enigma
has documented 22 new sightings reports.
Well, I don't know, but there was a saying.
It says correlation does not imply causation and you can get
into some big trouble sometimes when you make assumptions that
one thing is happening because of the other.
The organization's January records show more than 150
reported sightings in total. In December, federal authorities
dismissed these observations, attributing them to
misidentified aircraft approaching local airports.
Well, any excuse that they can make not to have to do their
job, which is to investigate these things, that's what I'm
saying. Let's go and take a look at this
next article. We have another article here
from dailymail.co.uk. It's dated January 21st, 2025 S
just about a week ago. Written by Ellen Lapointe, it
says the title says New Jersey drones are back as interactive
map shows activity ramping up after Trump promised to release
Truth. Looks like remember, they're
trying to get a little bit of a dig in on Trump.
They're not that he hasn't had anything to do this past week,
it says. An interactive map of UFO
settings has revealed shockingly new reports of drones in New
Jersey and other states, suggesting this bizarre mystery
is still unfolding. The map created by the UAP
tracking website Enigma Labs. Starting to wonder if maybe
Enigma Labs isn't just starting to get some press on this.
Probably been going on the whole time.
Shows hundreds of sightings logged as recently as January
7th in multiple northeastern states.
The mysterious drones along the East Coast appeared in November
with 22 people issuing reports to Enigma starting on the 20th.
But that number dramatically increased to 347 by December
31st. A drone ban was issued from
December 18th to January 17th, during which Enigma Labs said
the average number of reported sightings dropped by 43%.
Now, new data shows 36 sightings were logged the week of January
1st and nearly half were spotted in New Jersey.
The recent sightings come as President Trump said Monday that
he will tell the people the truth about the drones.
Why don't we find out immediately?
He said, Well, in the Oval Office, I can't imagine it's an
enemy up an enemy or their people would have gotten blown
up over it. Maybe they were testing things.
I don't know why they wouldn't have said what it was.
Kind of shows you that maybe there's a bit of
miscommunication between President Trump and the deep
state. It says the Biden demonstration
had assured the public that the sightings were not a threat,
brushing off most of them as a hobbyist, drones, commercial
airplanes and even stars. Well, of course, the Garden
State still appears to be the epicenter of activity following
the first sightings in November when eyewitnesses reported car
sized drones flying above a military base and President
Donald Trump golf course. But since November, hundreds of
other reports have surfaced across the Northeast and even
from several Southern states, including Virginia, Kentucky,
and the Carolinas. The most recent drone sightings
recorded by the UAP tracking site occurred in New York, PA,
and New Jersey around 7 P around 7:10 PM Eastern Time on January
5th, an unnamed person reported 2 orbs moving slowly across the
sky over at Marlton, NJ. Those orbs?
They were pulsating and appeared to be lower than a star.
The eyewitness wrote to the UAP Unidentified Aerophenomena
tracking website Enigma Labs dot IO that created the map.
Enigma is getting a lot of press for their app, which I guess it
looks like you can only download on Apple.
The videos included in the report show an aircraft that
appears to be flashing a green light flying overhead as well as
a circular blue orb high in the air.
On that same day around 10:55 PM Eastern Time and eyewitness in
Mullenburg, Pennsylvania reported an airplane like ring
of lights changing direction looked as though it was
mimicking an airplane at first and then turned into a ring of
lights and change directions. It was going never have seen
anything like this. Are these the drones people are
talking about? The eyewitness wrote.
Yeah, you can call them drones or you can call them a UFO.
To me they are definitely a UFOA video shows a single aircraft
with a flashing yellow light on one side flying over a shopping
complex on January 7th around 3:00 AM Eastern Time and I
witnessed in Yapak, New York. Reported 3 lights moving rapidly
southeast exiting my vehicle. Noticed some lights in the sky
moving at a very rapid pace. Was initially 3 lights one
behind another. Video only shows 2 with one
fading out a view. They wrote in the video 2
distant lights appear to be moving across the night sky.
They've got some pictures here. These things are definitely
strange, goes on and says was somewhat low in the sky in
comparison to other sightings in the past.
No noise heard, no red green aviation lighting witnessed,
very high rate of speed observed traveling from northwest to
southeast of the eyewitness wrote.
The first drone sightings occurred in November over the US
Army's Picatinny Arsenal and President and President-elect
Donald Trump golf course and Bedminster, which raised
concerns the drones are part of a spy campaign.
Indeed, the unidentified aircraft have been reported over
multiple U.S. military sites in New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Texas, Virginia, Ohio and even American bases in Germany and
England. In December, Trump claimed the
government knows what is happening when asked about
bizarre phenomena during a news conference.
His drone report could be coming as soon as today as he recently
said that the American people are going to find out what is
behind the DROVE activity. Activity on January 21st.
Well, the sooner the better as far as I can see.
But the White House said the sightings near or over
Department of Defence installations are not new.
DoD takes unauthorized access over his airspace seriously and
coordinates closely with federal, state and local law
enforcement authorities as appropriate, the statement
continued. Yeah, not really seeing that.
Yeah, OK. And then it has some different
types of drones here that where they suspect that they might be
from the Department of Homeland Security, DoD, Federal Aviation,
Federal Aviation Administration and FBI relates to a joint
statement on the matter in mid-december.
The agency said the sightings were a combination of lawful
commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement
drones, as well as man fixed wing aircraft, helicopters and
stars mistakenly reported as drones.
I would like to see the evidence that those statements are based
on. But many remain unconvinced by
this explanation and still fear that the drones are being
operated by one of the nation's foreign adversaries such as
China, Russia or Iran. Such theories have been put
forth by lawmakers like Michael McCall, Republican Texas, who
has claimed some of the unidentified aircraft are
Chinese spy drones. Quote, we need to identify who
is behind these drones, he told reporters before a classified
briefing to members of House Intelligence Committee.
It seems like it might be a good idea.
I believe there are spy drones and the people's report to China
and communist China is very good at this stuff.
We know that they bought land around military bases.
This would be a this would be consistent with their policy
over the past couple of years, he said.
Exclusive polling from dailymail.com and JL partners
suggest that many American citizens share these concerns.
Great idea letting the communist Chinese buy land next to at your
military bases. The poll found that nearly 45%
of respondents believe the bizarre activity was more than
just recreational or normal drone use, with the majority,
26% of these correspondence pointing to foreign
surveillance. But 19% of Americans do believe
the sites are nothing more than hobby drones, and 18% stated
they are normal flying activities that have been
exaggerated. Yes, well, you've always got the
8020 right, 80% of the people are smart enough to be
suspicious and 20%, well, they're just not there yet.
Despite the wave of concern, the Pentagon has denied that a
foreign country was behind the mysterious drones, even as they
have repeatedly spotted have been responded over the
sensitive U.S. military sites. As I've said, they have not
taken one of these down to tell us what it is, So how would they
know where they're from or who's operating them?
White House national security spokesman John Kirby said in
December. I guess that should say, Former
national security spokesman John Kirby said in December.
There are more than 1,000,000 drones registered in the US and
there are thousands of commercial hobbyists and law
enforcement drones that are lawfully in the sky on any given
day, suggesting the signings were likely any of these.
I call that the satanic cow tipper argument.
Yes, you know where you end up with these dissected cattle with
without any blood being spilled on the ground and we're told to
believe that it's just a bunch of crazy satanic cow tippers out
there doing this? Probably not the case.
OK, we'll look at another article here.
This is really getting strange. This articles from the War Zone,
twz.com, they have a lot of cool stuff over there.
I really like this site it's written by Howard Altman updated
January 21st 2025 title says FBI's New Jersey drone scare
investigation has no suspects and then it's got a picture of
this fence here with a no drone sign on the front of it.
Article begins by saying in an FBI investigation into thousands
of reported drone sightings around New Jersey late last year
has uncovered no suspects or recovered any drones.
A spokesperson told us. In addition, scores of temporary
flight restrictions, TFRS imposed by the FAA on drone
flights over sensitive facilities throughout the region
have expired. Well, why would you ever not
have flight restrictions over sensitive areas?
I mean, come on, are you just trying to give the secrets away?
Meanwhile, on his first day back in the Oval Office, President
Donald Trump repeated his vow that his new administration
would provide more details about the spate of drone sightings in
the Northeast that the war zone was the first to report.
They garnered massive media coverage and caused a low level
panic among some residents. Quote, I would like to find out
what it is and tell the people. Trump said Monday in response to
a question of whether he would use his powers to tell the
American public more about the drone incursions.
In fact, I would like to do that.
Trump asked Susie Wiles, his chief of staff, to find out and
share more details. Can we find out what that was?
Trump asked her. Susie, why don't we find out
immediately? Well, here's a clue, because the
deep state's not going to tell you.
The president then expressed his own curiosity about the
incursions. I can't imagine it's an enemy or
people would have gotten blown up all over.
Maybe they were testing things. I don't know why they wouldn't
have said what it was. That's a little frightening when
the president doesn't know what's going on.
Hell boy. As we have previously reported,
often confusing legal and regulatory hurdles limit how and
when counter their own systems of any kind can be used in the
United States. More excuses.
Concerns about risk of collateral damage resulting from
the use of anti drone capabilities are another huge
factor, Yes, but getting some kind of foot disease when you're
forced to take your shoes off at the airport is of no concern to
these people. As a result, the US military
isn't currently allowed to field kinetic and directed energy
capabilities such as a laser and high power microwave weapons
surface to air interceptors and gun systems for defending
domestic bases and other critical infrastructure from
rapidly growing and evolving drone threats.
Instead, the focus is on electronic warfare and cyber
warfare and other soft kill options.
At least for the time being. Even these capabilities are
limited use and are only effective against a relatively
narrow set of drone types. You know, why not just go ahead
and open the doors up and tell the tricoms to come on in?
However, one of the scores of executive orders Trump signed on
Monday declaring a national emergency at the border with
Mexico called for the secretary of Transportation and the
Federal Communications Commission to consider waving
all applicable Federal Aviation Administration Federal
Communication Commission regulations or policies,
respectively, that restrict the Department of Homeland
Security's ability to counter unmanned aerial systems within 5
miles of the southern border. Trump's comments about drone
disclosures on Monday followed his pledges to get to the bottom
of a situation that the Biden administration deemed not to be
a threat to national security or public safety and had no foreign
Nexus. You know, we've just got
bureaucracies running our country.
It's awful. Actually, I'm going to give you
a report on drones about one day into the administration.
Trump told a room of Republican governors at his more Lago
resort earlier this month. Because I think it's ridiculous
that they are not telling you about what is going on with the
drones. For Trump, the issue of mystery
drones flying overhead is personal.
His Golf Club and Bedminster was one of the scores of locations
that reported them. They had a lot of them flying
over at Bedminster, which was interesting, Trump explained on
on Monday. The incursions weren't Trump's
first drone concerns. In January of 2021, an image
highly suggestive of a drone targeting him on a golf course
in a vengeance strike in retaliation for the death of
Iranian General Qassem Soleimani LED Twitter to ban an account
for Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamani.
At the time, the US military killed Soleimani in a drone
strike in Iraq in January 2020, which had already prompted
public threats from Iranian officials, including against
Trump specifically. I couldn't think of an easier
way to start Armageddon. The ongoing FBI investigation
into the drone incursions has produced a few publicly known
results. In addition to finding no
suspects, no drones have been recovered.
No suspects, no drones recovered.
But yet we're told nothing to see here she move along.
It's not unusual in a case like this not to have a suspect, FBI
Amy Thornton explain, adding that there has been a
significant decrease in reported sightings.
Well, we're not really sure that's the case.
Maybe people just aren't reporting these things because
they know the FBI is not going to do anything.
But as we saw in the earlier articles, it does.
It does seem like things are picking back up.
In December, the FBI stated that there were more than 5000
reports of mystery drones, with only about 100 deemed worthy of
further investigation. Who deems them worthy if anyone
sees anything they can report it, she stated.
You know my advice is posted on new fork TWZ.
This is the war zone has received has reviewed many
videos and images taken by citizens who reported seeing
drones. We have seen no proof of any
widespread drone incursions throughout the state, with the
vast majority of material in circulation claiming to show
drones actually depicting standard aircraft or any limited
quantity common hobbyist drones. That's pretty awful
investigative work. I think I'm not seeing this
being compared to flight tracker or anything else.
This is just somebody interjecting their opinion into
this situation. A lot of generalization really.
No investigative work at all from what I can see.
Very disappointed to see that statement.
After the public outcry over the drone sightings, FAA issued
scores of temporary flight restrictions warning operators
away from flying drones, largely over power facilities in New
Jersey. Why would you let them do that
anyway? Not long after these expanded to
New York, some 22 installations were initially put under the
TFR, the former and a whopping 68 in the ladder.
This number grew further not long after.
It is not clear what intelligence, if any, led to
this action. Well, I don't know common sense.
In addition, TFRS were imposed over Picatinny, Arsenal and the
Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, among other
locations. All but the one over Bedminster
have expired and were not renewed.
This one over Bedminster was extended through January 31st.
The club was under regular TFRS, especially during Trump's time
in office when he was present there.
And we talked about this Picatinny where they make up
small arms for the US Army, but you're going to let people fly
drones over this thing? That's just stupid.
Drone operators who did not comply with the restrictions
over Bedminster are warned that the Department of Defense,
Homeland Security and Justice may take security action that
results in the interference, disrupt or seizure, damaging or
destruction of unmanned aircraft, even to pose a
credible safety or security threat to protective personnel,
facilities or assets. I believe that when I see it,
and it has your order here. We reached out to the FAA and
Department of Homeland Security about why the TFRS were allowed
to expire and whether new ones or permanent bans would be
issued. Quote, drones are prohibited
from flying over designated national security sensitive
facilities, an FAA spokesman told us on Tuesday, adding the
administration maintains a map of restricted security sensitive
airspace. The spokesman deferred
additional questions about whether any of the expired TFRS
will be renewed to DHS, which has yet to respond to several
queries. We will update the story with
any pertinent information provided.
Well, you know, when Elon Musk tells us that half the federal
employees or not even working in the office, they're working from
home, quote, UN quote. I mean, what, what, what are we
doing here? Really nothing is getting done
about any of this stuff. We're spending hundreds of
billions trillions of dollars on these people to what set at home
and play video games watch YouTube.
I don't know the TFR over Picatinny was replaced by a
permanent national security USA flight restriction Garrison
commander Lieutenant Colonel Greg A Bonum told us on Tuesday
there were 11 confirmed incursions or Picatinny between
November 13th and December 6th and six unconfirmed, a facility
spokesman added. Yeah, that's great A big arms
manufacturer there for the Army and we've got all kinds of drone
incursions. Yeah, that sounds sounds safe.
Nothing to worry about. It is unclear at the moment if
Trump's directive to his chief of staff also includes finding
and sharing new details about the drones incursions over
Langley Air Force Base that were first to report.
Many other military installations in the continental
United States like Wright Patterson Air Force Base and
Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton have also been subjected to
drones of unknown origin. Intruding over their aerospace
has had the Air Force Plant 42 Advanced Aerospace Development
Hub in California this past fall.
The war zone was the first to report all those incidents.
There were also drone incursions over US bases in the United
Kingdom in November that we were also the first to report.
The last of those took place on November 26th.
A spokesman for the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lake and Heath told
us while the number of drone sightings which once reached a
fever pitch have greatly diminished, Trump has signaled
that the issue will not fade away under his watch.
If all the information that he's being told about these things is
faulty, then I don't really expect a lot to get done.
I don't know. This society that we live in has
the attention span of a goldfish.
So I'm not sure what will happen with this stuff.
We'll keep up on it though here at UFO Warning.
Until next time, this is UFO WARNING over and out.
