House Homeland Security Committee Holds Hearing On Unidentified Drones Swarming New Jersey

"These are apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark."

-- New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy

"If our government really doesn’t know what these giant drones are over New Jersey and our military bases, they’re even more incompetent than we thought. Time for them to level with us about what’s really going on."

-- U.S. Senator Josh Hawley

Mystery New Jersey Drones 'Go Dark' When Spotted: Governor
Newsweek
December 10, 2024

https://www.newsweek.com/mystery-new-jersey-drones-go-dark-when-spotted-governor-1998470

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said the recent drones which have been sighted in the state are "very sophisticated," saying, "the minute you get your eyes on them, they go dark."

In a Monday press conference, Murphy acknowledged public frustration about the recent surge of mysterious drone sightings but emphasized that authorities have found no evidence of a threat to public safety.

"The most important point to say is we don't see any concern for public safety," he said, adding that local, state, and federal authorities, including the FBI and Homeland Security, are working together to uncover the drones' origins.

Murphy disclosed that there were 49 reported sightings on Sunday, predominantly in Hunterdon County, though he noted some reports might overlap. "These are apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark," he said.

"We're obviously most concerned about sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure," he said. "See, we've got military assets. We've got utility assets. We've got the president-elect, one of his homes here. This is something we're taking deadly seriously."

Murphy urged residents to report drone sightings to local law enforcement or the FBI, promising transparency: "If we have news, I'll let you know the minute we know something."

Newsweek has contacted the governor's office via email for comment.

The sightings, which began last month, have alarmed residents and led to an ongoing FBI investigation.

Drones have reportedly been spotted near the Picatinny Arsenal, a U.S. military facility, and President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course. In response, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily restricted drone flights over these locations.

The drones, often described as large, brightly lit, and loud, have also been reported over reservoirs, electric transmission lines, and police stations. Some eyewitnesses have said they are the size of small cars.

Joseph Orlando, Florham Park Police chief, called the drones' presence "nefarious in nature," though authorities maintain there is no imminent threat.

Unusual phenomena have been linked to the sightings, including a family's report of their car clock changing while a drone hovered overhead.

Last week, Murphy met with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other officials, later posting on social media, "we are actively monitoring the situation and in close coordination with our federal and law enforcement partners on this matter. There is no known threat to the public at this time."

Residents have been asked to report any sightings and to share any videos or photos they may have of the flights by calling the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submitting it online at tips@fbi.gov.

The “drone” situation… I’m not sure either. But here’s what I’m confident in…

I’ve taken my time and engaged in substantive conversations with a handful of trusted individuals, who are directly involved with responding to the events unfolding in our skies (at various levels)… both nationally and internationally.

Some of the individuals I have spoken with have captured, observed, or been part of the analysis teams processing the FLIR data/imagery of the units penetrating the airspace enveloping our sensitive U.S. installations (my focus has been location based).

These individuals include government contractors with significant threat identification responsibilities, personnel working directly within sensitive U.S. infrastructure facilities in analysis roles, and others holding strategic defense roles, specifically.

They are ALL independent contacts (NOT part of the UFO world and NOT cross-communicating).

I have known ALL of these individuals for a significant amount of time, and they have earned my trust.

Each individually holds positions that provide access to NON-public information related to these recent incursion events - and most - in real time.

What I CAN report definitively is that SOME of the morphology of the units RECORDED is “inconsistent with any conventional hardware” or “traditionally propelled” aerial vehicles (that WE are currently aware of).

Some ARE “definitively consistent” with KNOWN designs - but are of unknown origin (unknown to those reporting to me).

The general consensus is that the United States has an exquisite capability to trace and track the origin of any UAS (Unmanned Aerospace System) entering and exiting protected/restricted airspace.

It is my personal observation that this has led to collective confusion and extra-departmental glances seeking direction (from local to Federal, and vice versa). And that this aspect of the unfolding situation is both fascinating, and revealing.

There is ALSO a clear and shared sense that much of this activity is being “allowed” to happen - with ambiguity actively encouraged.

This leaves me with more questions than answers - as I am sure it does for you, too. Which seems reasonable, and likely intentional - given what we know about the structure and capabilities of American defense systems.

Just reporting the news as I trust it (at this time) and as I’ve learned it.

Goodnight, and good luck.
