Real? It’s certainly not out of the question, right?
‘Spy drones’ from China are likely cause of unexplained aircraft wreaking havoc over US, House foreign affairs chair says in bombshell claim
House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul said Tuesday that he believes that some unidentified drones spotted above New Jersey and New York are “spy drones” from China — after Biden administration officials insisted many of the aircraft are innocent commercial aircraft.
“We want answers but the response I’m getting is we don’t know whose drones these are,” McCaul (R-Texas) told reporters before executive-branch officials offered a classified briefing to members of the House intelligence committee.
“I was with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, he said that these drones have been reported over military sites, military bases. I would not think those are friendly. I would think those are adversarial,” McCaul said.
“We need to identify who is behind these drones,” he said. “My judgment based on my experience is that those that are over our military sites are adversarial and most likely are coming from the People’s Republic of China.”
“I believe they’re spy drones and the PRC and communist China is very good at this stuff. We know they bought land around military bases. This would be very consistent with their policy over the past couple years,” McCaul added.
Of course, I’d like to see some evidence on this, but, would this be so hard to believe? The Biden-Harris admin let a Chinese spy balloon fly across the entire U.S., surveilling national security site, till finally blowing it up way off the east coast.
Most of the 5K drone reports turned out to be planes, hobbyists and stars, feds say
The FBI has yet to uncover anything alarming or abnormal in its ongoing investigation into more than 5,000 reported sightings of drones in New Jersey and other states over the last month, the bureau said Monday.
The 5,000 tips generated around 100 leads for investigators, the FBI said in a rare joint statement with the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense.
The rest of the reports were ruled out by investigators, who have determined the sightings were mostly lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, airplanes and helicopters.
Some were also stars people mistook for drones.
Right, right, people were simply mistaking slow moving/stationary drones for fast moving airplanes. And people do not know what stars are. I wish I could find the link, I might have heard it on the radio, where the feds were saying that people in Central NJ aren’t too familiar with all those airplanes, and some NJ Congressman or Assemblyman mentioned that there are three international airports in the NYC area, one in Philly, plus smaller ones in Trenton and Atlantic city, and lots of small airports. Not too mention all the traffic coming north and southbound. It’s really patronizing.
Update: found the link
During an interview with ABC News on Monday, New Jersey Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (D) reacted to suggestions that the uptick in reported drone sightings in the state is due to people not being familiar with air traffic by stating that, in the part of New Jersey he lives in, “We’re really used to air traffic over our heads” due to the proximity to busy airports and “there is something significantly different” and “part of it is, we’re hearing from people in parts of the state that routinely don’t have that same kind of air traffic in the northwest part of the state and the southern parts of the state.”
Coughlin said, “I heard your colleague talking about how we’re not — we may not be used to things in the air. The truth of the matter is, I live in the central part of the state, and it’s — I live not far from Newark Airport and between Newark and Kennedy and JFK, three of the busiest airports in the world. We’re really used to air traffic over our heads. And so, it hasn’t — there is something significantly different that is causing people to be — part of it is, we’re hearing from people in parts of the state that routinely don’t have that same kind of air traffic in the northwest part of the state and the southern parts of the state. So, it’s all over.”
Who flies there expensive personal drone at night, and, why has the amount of drones suddenly dropped?
