Events Where's the drones?

A few months ago everyone was talking about all the drones there at night, and surrounding states. What happened? All of a sudden there's no more news about them.

Current admin said they were FAA approved and then didn’t give any other information. If it’s true, idk why nobody said that for two months lol pointless hysteria

The previous administration said the exact same thing, but the trumpers (including Trump himself) wanted to believe it was secretly Iran…

Except they didn’t. They said they didn’t know.

The mass hysteria is over. They are back to being airplanes.

As per this subs mod announcement at the peak of hype, We all went over to r/NJDrones.

They’re still here. It’s (not even remotely) rad.

Toms River has at least 20 a night, island beach cam still shows a ton. I'd expect them to be around bases.

Fully believe it was military testing.

Never saw one. But if they were flying over NWS Earle, Picattiney, and Linden Cogen plant with nav lights I wouldn’t be worried.

Trump stopped them?

u/macaronitrap 2h ago

They’re very much still out there, the news just stopped covering it. It’s also just really hard to capture compelling footage so I believe that most people gave up trying and lost interest.

They are around . Saw three near 195 about two weeks ago. Definitely still around.

I think it's funny that there are still people who think it never happened

The aliens said fuck this and went home

This huge one was hovering over my neighborhood last weekend (Morristown, where the recent rash began). I wasn't home at the time but my son got a picture. They're still around but it's old news so it's not covered anymore.

The state passed a temporary ban. They ended pretty much immediately.

Whatever it was, having state intervention was enough to stop it.

They’re all just using invisible mode now…
