Drone sightings in South Jersey and other counties

"Most of the initial drone sightings last month were in North Jersey, including Morris County. Eventually, the sightings stretched to Sussex, Warren, Bergen, Somerset, Essex, Passaic, Union and Middlesex counties. In more recent days, police confirmed drones were spotted in Monmouth County and Ocean County, as well as Camden County in South Jersey." https://www.nj.com/news/2024/12/mystery-drone-sightings-expand-across-nj-heres-what-we-know.html Anathemastudio (talk) 13:55, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Anathemastudio! I've added this to the article as a footnote since having the whole list in the article body seems like a lot. – Anne drew 15:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential drone crash in Lebanon New Jersey

Article: Video shows drone crash in Lebanon, New Jersey

"Video of the large drone that reportedly crashed near Round Valley State Park in Lebanon, NJ on the night of December 7th. Video taken by my friend who lives very close to the park. This does NOT show the drone crashing. It crashed shortly after this video...

Other users were also excited about the video. One commented: “I appreciate that the sound is on in this video. This is, in my opinion, the first video that shows that the drones people in NJ are reacting to do not behave like regular airplanes. Thanks for sharing.”

Another said: “This one looks more like a UAP to me.”

If the footage was indeed taken yesterday in Jersey, it could be substantial evidence that perhaps it's not just ordinary drones flying around, but something more exotic."

What the drones are not - supposedly

Article: "US military research center denies NJ drones are theirs"

"The base commander of a New Jersey military research center said the mysterious drones flying over the area are not theirs, but confirmed sightings to a local media outlet. "While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown, we can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal-related activities," Lt. Col. Craig Bonham II said in a news release obtained by the Morristown Daily Record."

"White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Tuesday that drones flying over New Jersey were not foreign, adding that President Biden has been made aware of the situation, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI are investigating. When pressed if the federal government had ruled out that the drones are being controlled by foreign entities, Jean-Pierre promptly responded, "Yeah.""

Investigation and official responses - should we organize it thematically or chronologically?

Hey all! I'm curious what you think the best way to organize the Investigation and official responses section is. I'm not sure whether it would be best to group things thematically (e.g. agency investigations, DoD response, responses by elected officials, etc.) or by day (Dec. 8, Dec. 9, Dec 10, etc.) My instinct is that the timeline approach will be a bit more maintainable as things are moving so quickly, and once things settle down we can take more of a thematic approach. Or perhaps there is another way we should go about it. I welcome your input! – Anne drew 02:31, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
