The Biden administration suggested that there may be no drones over New Jersey at all — as it sought to tamp down growing frustration over a lack of answers from the feds over sightings. “We have not been able to, and neither have state and local law enforcement authorities, been able to corroborate any of the reported visual sightings,” White House national security communications adviser John Kirby told reporters during a briefing Thursday.
“Upon review of available imagery, it appears many of the reports of sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully,” he added.

OMG, this is horse manure coming from our government (unfortunately it is their favorite go to - BS - and spread it on thick). I'm surprised they haven't said it's just swamp gas or some such malarky. But then again they told us FJB was the sharpest knife in the drawer. Guess they were going to just pawn off another whopper on the public thinking we would buy it. Haven't seen FKH in awhile. I am sure she is working hard on this issue. After all she is the Border Czar and I assume somehow, somewhere these "drones" are breaching our border. So their answer is "we don't know, we don't care, and there is nothing to worry about". Really? Trump will have a lot of work to do when he gets in office. Starting with national security issues at all levels. Meanwhile America keep your eyes on the skies. Lock and load.

Like the Chinese spy balloon, Joe may have been handsomely compensated for letting it float across our entire country. He's probably making money renting out our air space. He's a short termer, has to make as much as he can now.

It seems that all Biden and the Democrats know how to do is lie. January 20th can’t come soon enough.

I'm already tired of hearing about this topic. Particularly galling is watching the news media pile on after they asked zero questions about what our government was up to over the past four years. Operating from an Iranian mother ship - seriously?
"We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus,” Kirby said.
I'm no fan of Kirby but that's good enough for me. This is clearly some sort of DoD advanced project that's being kept under wraps as much as possible.

The only way the US Govt would not be actively investigating is if they already knew. I'm starting to lean toward one final deep state push to keep Trump out of office, and this is part of it. The only thing we can be sure of is whatever they ultimately announce it is, it will be a lie.
Best bet is to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

And this is from the same White House Security that couldn’t find out who left a bag of cocaine in the White House? I don’t believe a word of anyone currently in the White House.

There are 2 "drone" issues, the real; and, the social media engagement farming of the issue. The 2nd is being fed by sea of photos of aircraft landing lights. The first is a problem that apparently exists at the area surrounding the Picatinny Arsenal and some other areas of New Jersey.

As I have repeatedly stated here, IMO, these are ordinary aircraft and this whole " mystery drone" thing is a media creation which has become mass hysteria. "Yeah, I saw one, too!"
How do you ascertain that an aircraft is unmanned as it fly over?? Impossible.
A big nothingburger that far too many have bought into.

Do you remember the sightings over the garbage dump in Piedmont, MO in the late 60's? I lived about 25 miles from there and saw nothing. But IIRC, they determined it was space vehicles. Then nothing.

Whatever they are, they are not conventional aircraft. If they are, I am not taking any flights into New Jersey or nearby because of the truly frightening incompetence of our air traffic control. These objects are real, not some swamp gas or other BS. The sky if filled with them. I just hope they are one of our secret experiments. We may start getting some real explanations after January 20th. In the meantime, I don't trust anything our federal government says about anything and haven't for the last four years.

Is it possible that someone (Chinese?) is flying dozens of drones filed with a new virus culture to seed the northeast US to bring the county to a halt prior to Trump taking office?? Probably a crazy idea.

Whatever Kirby says tells me to believe the opposite. If these drones turn out to be Iranian or Chinese, file articles of impeachment against Biden, his entire national security staff and Lloyd Austin.

Kay: "All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus."

Starting to look like some sort of pre-inaugural surprise.
National emergency, and all that.

This has been going on in NJ non-stop since the late1930s - remember Downer's Grove?

As a NJ citizen, I have conclude that there are no drones over NJ....the citizenry is suffering mass hysteria and insanity.....this also explains why they consistently vote for Democrats, despite being the most highly taxed citizens per capita in the country. There is no explaining away STUPID !!

Good God. I hope some of my L-dot friends are just joking around with some of these theories? Wouldn't it be far more logical and reasonable to consider that we may have developed some amazing new UAV, hypersonic or electronic warfare platform technology that is ready to be tested? How or where would they test it--- other than in the air?

#5 This is hardly being kept under wraps. Everyone in the country has seen the video. And if anything Kirby says is good enough for you I don’t know what to say.
I think most people are speechless over the outright lying over this. Telling people they are not seeing what they are seeing is the same story we got about Biden’s dementia. How did that work out for them? I’m surprised that no NJ resident has shot one of these down yet. Someone will.

Well...folks...someone is up there flying these drones...and telling US not to worry because it's not an adversary says to me that they know who it is and refuse to tell US...WHY?...because it's probably china and ole Joe has a "special" relationship with china....he let them fly their balloon over our country...so why not some drones over New Jersey capturing information to work against US...let's take down one of these drones and find out....lock and load America...

I'm in agreement with Bongino. These drones are from a foreign country and this administration knows it and is lying to us.
Personally I believe they are from China and they are testing us to see what we will do. The President of China Xi Jinping turned down an invitation to come to President Trump's inauguration. That to me confirms those drones are from him.

The reaction of NJ State and federal officials is appalling. Nice of people to make fun and say there is nothing to this stuff. But, when these things are flying constantly over your house, and no one will say what is going on, it is very, very unsettling. If you have small children, if you are elderly and alone, you don't know what these things are. You don't know what kind of capability they have, seeing into your residence, tapping phones and electronic devices. Who the hell knows. And to tell people not to believe what they are seeing and feeling about this "invasion" is absolutely disgusting.
Again, Trump and Elon, are very, very quiet. If Trump remains silent until his inauguration, and I was Iran or another one of America's enemies, I'd make sure I was awake at 12:01 pm, EST, on January 20, 2025. Just sayin...

And when these things are spotted around DC, White House, Andrew’s AFB, what are we going to do? I want some brave soul to shoot one down on fly their own drone up there and take pics so it can be identified.

Drop a huge butterfly net from a helicopter,
enclose one of the drones,
bring it to the closest Coast Guard facility
examine it, and
have Hegseth explain what was found.
[With 7 children, he will get to the correct answers quickly.]

OK - - it's official! If you're wondering about the hundreds of drones which have been spotted hovering over New Jersey for the past month - - here's the White House answer: There are no drones! You and your lying eyes have been hallucinating. Admetrosexual Kirby says so.
