Does the FBI and DHS actually think people will believe their BS? Do they think Americans won’t be all “come on, stop blowing smoke up my bum”?
FBI, Homeland Security cast doubt on N.J. drone reports, echoing White House statements
The FBI and U.S. Department of Homeland Security said Thursday that after trying to corroborate reports of mysterious drones flying at night over New Jersey in recent weeks, “it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft, operating lawfully.”
The statement, released after 5 p.m., came shortly after a White House spokesman told reporters that experts looking into reported drone sightings have been unable to confirm “any” of the reports.
“Upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” John Kirby, the Biden administration’s national security spokesman, said at a press briefing.
The FBI had asked the public for reports and video of the supposed drones, receiving more than 3,000 tips. There had been 180 drone sightings reported Tuesday night, according to a briefing of state and local lawmakers Wednesday.
Oh, just regular old planes. Flying weird patterns over NJ and other states. They really do think we’re stupid
Drones reported over 2nd N.J. military facility, Navy says
At least two drones were spotted above another military base in New Jersey during the recent surge in unexplained sightings across the state, Navy officials said.
Naval Weapons Station Earle, a military base in Colts Neck in Monmouth County, has had two reports of drones in its airspace, facility spokesman William Addison said Thursday.
“While no direct threats to the installation have been identified, we can confirm at least two instances of an unidentified drone entering the airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle,” he said. “The base remains prepared to respond to any potential risks, leveraging robust security measures and advanced detection capabilities.”
If you’re unfamiliar with Earle, go take a look at a map: Earle, a US Navy installation, is mostly not on the ocean. It’s not on a river. It’s a bit inland, except for the small area along the Raritan, but, the main base is around Colts Neck
FYI, why the military should know what those drones are up to: https://t.co/TmCncHEAhR pic.twitter.com/vP1sAjeiKH

Because it is a weapons research center. I drove by it many times growing up in Jersey, and security was pretty darned tight. It reportedly has anti-ballistic missile weapons, which were also banned per treaty with Russia, but, would be in a perfect spot to intercept ICBMs aimed at NYC. Private/commercial planes do not just fly over Earle like this, certainly not at low level.
NJ last night. Right next to naval weapons base Earle. Between 50-70 drones spotted all over the base. pic.twitter.com/VrjrA2vmFY

You can actually see two actual airplanes flying, with the flashing lights and linear movement, which are further away and not directly over Earle. Why is the Biden-Harris admin allowing this? At this point, it’s starting to look like a coverup. If they do not know whose they are, shoot the down.
(AP) A U.S. senator has called for mysterious drones spotted flying at night over sensitive areas in New Jersey and other parts of the Mid-Atlantic region to be “shot down, if necessary,” even as it remains unclear who owns the unmanned aircraft.
“We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they’re flying over airports or military bases,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said Thursday, as concerns about the drones spread across Capitol Hill.
Flying over military bases is a threat. Try standing around at the fence to watch what’s going on: the MPs will come over to see what you’re doing, and possibly chase you away. Drones are also now being reported over the NYC area.
Why are they only active at night? Are they gathering more information than the satellites do?
Since Biden and Austin won’t protect us, maybe FOX TV Weekend Host Hegseth will!!!

You may want to rethink that one, Howdy Dowdy — it’s not the “own” you think it is.
Tell us more, fipper!!
Well let’s see. Hegseth was awarded a Bronze Star, Combat Infantryman Badge and a second Army Commendation Medal while in Iraq.
What medals have you been awarded?
Is that telling you enough?
White,
Those medals do not qualify one for being Secretary of Defense. Importantly, I’m not nominated for Secretary of Defense.
In addition, I’m not a drunk, nor have I been accused of rape. Nor is my torso covered with white power tattoos.
President-to-be Trump will try to coerce the Senate into confirming Hegseth by threatening the Senators with far-right primary candidates.
At least he served honorably which is a lot more than you ever did, fatso. All you ever did was lie about serving, coward.
Cowardly Pissant,
When were you in the military, Cowardly Lyin’? You’ve supported every war in your lifetime.
Do you believe the medals that FOX Weekend Host, Hegspeth, earned, are sufficient qualifications to be Secretary of Defense? Maybe ingratiating himself to Trump as a FOX Weekend Host is qualification enough? Mr Hegspeth’s relevant management experience appears to be managing a payoff to a woman with whom he had drunken sex.
Again, I have not been nominated for the position. And I would refuse the nomination!!
But we understand why you and the other commenters want to distract with personal attacks.
The decision is up to the Senate.
You lied about serving. I didn’t.
Cowardly Rimjob.
Cowardly Lyin’ Pissant,
I volunteered. You didn’t, you cowardly lyin’, you.
Hegseth was a FOX Weekend Host who takes the knee to Trump. Those are his qualifications. Millions of American men and women have served in the military. Not all are qualified to be the Sec of Defense.
In 2017, Hegseth paid off a woman who had accused him of raping her. Why would he do that unless he did it?
Hegseth was forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran — Veterans for Freedom and Concerned Veterans for America — from allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual impropriety, and personal misconduct.
Hegseth’s tenure as the president of Concerned Veterans for America, from 2013 until 2016, described him as being repeatedly intoxicated while acting in his official capacity — to the point of needing to be carried out of the organization’s events. Peter recently promised to not let liquor cross his lips while on duty!!
Hegseth had to be restrained while drunk from joining the dancers on the stage of a Louisiana strip club, where he had taken his team.
Said a Senator: “Much as we might be sympathetic to people with continuing alcohol problems, they shouldn’t be at the top of our national-security structure. It’s dangerous. The Secretary of Defense is involved in every issue of national security. He’s involved in the use of nuclear weapons. He’s the one who approves sending troops into combat. He approves drone strikes that may involve civilian casualties. Literally life-and-death issues are in the hands of the Secretary of Defense, and entrusting these kinds of issues to someone who might be incapacitated for any reason is a risk we cannot take.”
Hegseth published a note in the Princeton Tory mocking the Princeton indoctrination that sex with an unconscious partner constituted rape.
His first wife divorced him for his multiple infidelity.
At that time he was the head of Vets for Freedom, which he nearly bankrupted. It was merged with another group and Hegseth was out. The responsible Hegseth fathered two children out of wedlock but married both mothers!!
If you can’t run Veterans nonprofits, how can you run the United States Military with nearly a trillion dollar budget and millions of employees? His value is that he’ll do whatever Musk and Trump tell him. And importantly he looks good on TV.
Sure you did.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Loser!
I sure think they do. What other qualities would you rather see in a SecDef that bravery, heroism and military experience? Hegseth touts all three and more. Loyalty, Patriotism, self sacrifice, team player, and a Ivy League education too. He has a BA from Princeton and a Masters from Harvard. Do you Elwood? He held the rank of Major also. What was your rank?
We don’t know if you are a drunk or not (although frequently you sound like you’re on drugs) We also don’t know if you have ever been accused of rape but we DO know Hegseth was NOT CONVICTED OF RAPE so you are once again slandering an innocent man.
President De Facto Trump will use whatever he has to in order to get his candidates elected JUST LIKE ANY OTHER PRESIDENT ELECT WOULD DO. Trump didn’t do that last time and we all see what the left did to him. You leftists go by the adage “by any means necessary” and now we will too.
You have once again shown your ability for dirty tricks and your proclivity for defamation. As well as your immoral and unethical use of slander to besmirch a person’s reputation. You don’t care who you destroy as long as you win. Your entire party is made up of immoral liars and grifters.
