No. Jersey Mystery Drones

MORRIS COUNTY, N.J. (PIX11) — For two weeks, residents across Morris County have reported seeing mysterious drones in the night sky.

“It’s kind of unsettling,” said Mike Walsh, a Randolph resident who has seen the drones numerous times. “Some are very big, probably the size of a car.”

Ive been seeing articles all over about this.

Not a single mention if the drone activity is legal vs illegal.

People freaking out because someone is flying a drone?

Mossberg 500 FTW.

Were these the same ones being seen flying over Picatinny Arsenal?

It is not some ONE… There are scores of them and it seems to be organized. These are not tiny hobby drones either. Some witnesses described the sound as like helicopters, and car sized.

And, there is also this.

I didnt read a report they flew over the military installation. Just a mention that they arent allowed to.

Drones are also loud, even small ones.

They are flying them in the middle of the night, so it would be hard to guess their size, but apparently they have lights on them?

Seems odd to keep them lit up if youre trying to do something less than legal.

Yep, the story I read said some of them are the size of small cars. Definitely NOT the hobby version.

What exactly is a hobby version?

I would also take reports on their size with a grain of salt…

Most large drones, they have about a 20 minute flight time.

Most reports dont add up… you cant have a car sized drone hover for hours in one spot.

Doing this at night time doesnt actually afford them additional concealment when they obviously have beacons flaring

What round for large drones?

Witnesses observed drones hovering for over an hour. NOT a hobby drone. Large drones can have several hours of flight time. They are not all battery operated.

Here’s a chart comparison and a list with the drones I could find that can fly for an hour or more (up to 2 hours or more).

I’m not getting too much in detail here but here’s the list of them:

  • Dji matrice 300 rtk 55 min 15 km
  • Autel DragonFIsh 2 hours 30 km
  • Sensefly Ebee X 90 min 8 km
  • Perimeter 8 5 hours 100km
  • Vantage VEsper 50 min 8 km waterproof
  • Airborne Vanguard 94 min 12 km Surveillance

These are not hobby drones flying over North Jerz.

Also, these larger drones are often equipped with IR and/or thermal cameras. They can also carry payloads.

None of those drones come close to the size of a car.

You keep moving the goal post. What is it about this story of scores of drones doing weird shit that you are refusing to accept.

What goal post? All we have are reports from people of car size drones hovering for hours around towns in the middle of the night.

u r right bruh, nothing to see here. It is all in everyone’s imagination.

Is there any video of this activity? Could it be a group of kids like hey let’s get together and fly our drones after dinner?

The vid in the first post is from news 11 and has footage.

There may be a brief shot of a single drone but then a helicopter. I’m asking for video of car sized drones or group of drones.
