Meanwhile Fox news had a senator on who said with confidence , top level intel, that IRAN has a "MOTHERSHIP" out in the waters of the east coast and has RELEASED THE DRONES!!!! and the rest of the media arent much better. Scare enough people and people will believe what they want to see

I think it's more likely about the strategic importance of control of the Persian Gulf and regional rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

Wonderful article - thanks

It's being reported at RAF Coningsby too.

I could, possibly, understand that people are trying to see the BBMF, but I'm not sure how sensible it is to put up a drone where there's Typhoons operating.

That was one of my first thoughts when I heard about shooting them down. Also, do the ordinary people of New Jersey have weapons that could shoot something that size down?

The newscast I was watching said that some people think the drones are from a mother ship, but this theory was discredited by one of the US departments claiming that there was no mothership floating around above the States.

I doubt you could shoot down a drone with what the average American has. It would be stupid to try since that round has to come back down somewhere.

It's good to see there's still the occasional open mind though. Senator Andy Kim of NJ had posted his own video and report but has since been brought back down to Earth.

After going out with police to observe reports of possible drones, I was with the help of civilian pilots and others able to do deeper analysis and concluded that most of the possible drone sightings that were pointed out to me were almost certainly planes.

So people in NJ are thick, I get that. But this thread was started about drones in the UK. Nobody has commented on them, they appear to have happened first (or did they appear at all ) and there's been nothing except 'stupid Americans' since.

Are the people of Suffolk stupid too?

It's nothing to do with being thick as stated plenty of times. It's do with with being unfamiliar with the night sky and/or caught up in the hype.

The people interviewed in the link in the OP seemed sensible enough. But this is the closest we get to any evidence:

The drones were not considered hostile, the USAF said, adding the sightings had "fluctuated and varied between the bases" and had "ranged in sizes and configurations".

Sounds a lot like confused copycat reports possibly following a real or mistaken one, like in the 2018 Gatwick case:

The investigation was closed on 27 September 2019, citing lack of new information. No culprit or evidence of drone use was found. There are no known photographs or videos of the drone, and authorities have no official description of the drone.

Of course drones are real and people do see them sometimes, but when you get hype like this people will mistake anything for them.

There are also UFO lobbyists and their supporters among the politicians using drone hype and the "danger to aircraft" / "foreign spying" angle to maintain some respectability while hinting at magical abilities. Like the "Americans for Safe Aerospace" set up by some of the lobbyists who were recently invited to congress. Their main site seems respectable at a quick glance, but their so-called "UAP guide" is full of all the old flying saucer myths.

I'm pretty sure being Thick comes into it

My understanding is Sussex police ended up chasing their own tail on that one...encountered their kit in wild back then..could defo do unsubtle

I think if somebody hears about mysterious drones on the news, goes outside, looks up, gets freaked out by the existence of stars, and starts trying to take out the constellation Orion with a handgun, then either they're thick or they're doing a very good impression of a thick person

There were drones flown over Langley Air Force Base for 17 days in March and the military unable to do anything about it. The feds downplay the sightings for lots of reasons.

“The only thing I can tell you about the Langley drones is roughly the number and roughly the altitude,” he said when we asked him about the exact characteristics and configurations of those drones. He did not elaborate. However, earlier this month, Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly told The Wall Street Journal that at least one of the drones was “roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers.”

December's rash of mysterious drone flights over Langley Air Force Base has changed how the U.S. plans to defend against such threats domestically.

There's something wide than just these 'drone' sightings going on, there's been plenty of stuff in the media about aliens and UFOs and noises that the government knows (much) more than it's admitting. I mean this is quite crazy.... a bit from a hearing in the US with some pretty high level speakers...

 

[krtek a houby]

Hate the narrative that Americans are thick, but there is a paranoia that goes back to the red scares in the early 20th century. Or the nativist attacks in the 19th century....

Reckons it is just another form of said paranoia. Reds, aliens, Catholics, Jewish people, Muslims and so on

The Department for Really Stupid Ideas weighed with this statement:

Congressman Chris Smith wants to give local cops the authority to shoot at planes if they think they might be drones that just look like planes.

As mentioned earlier, these guys are the semi-respectable face of a long running group of paranormal obsessives who had members in the pentagon and supporters in congress.

The "whistleblower" act is because they were purged for diverting money from the pentagon (under the guise of investigating advanced weapons and aerospace concepts) to Skinwalker Ranch, where they were hunting ghosts, werewolves and the like.

For example, Grusch, seen in the hearing video, reported to Jay Stratton, who was high up in naval intelligence. Stratton claimed he was possessed by a poltergeist at Skinwalker Ranch, which then terrorised his friends and family.

And despite their wild claims about UFOs and all the rest, they have nothing to back it up:

As of the time of my departure, none, let me repeat, none of the conspiracy-minded “whistleblowers” in the public eye had elected to come to AARO to provide their “evidence” and statement for the record despite numerous invitations. Anyone that would rather be sensationalist in the public eye than bring their evidence to the one organization established in law with all of the legal process and security framework established to protect them, their privacy, and the information and to investigate and report out findings is suspect.

Cheers, it somehow caught my eye (fucking algorithms) and my vague interest. Glad I can go back to dismissing it all as crankery.

Well this guy lives in the constituency where the drones were spotted...
