"The mystery in New Jersey"
There's no mystery, the FAA issued an air restriction for the Picatinny area from Nov 21 to Dec 26, for "special security reasons" - aka some dark development group doing testing.
Why else would these things have nav lights?
-
Maybe they only listen to AMD officials
-
Oh, I get it now.
These "mysterious drones" have all been flying from the police this entire time so articles like this will be written which in turn helps the police get more funding.
Then the moment the police get their kill drones they'll somehow solve the case!
(This is all tinfoil hat nonsense, of course)
-
The unbelievable part is that THEY would bother using actual flying drones to manufacture an emergency. Deepfake videos and bot armies to spread them are too easy.
-
There's not as much tinfoil in your statement as you might initially think as sad as that is to say.
-
The one thing stopping me from believing that, is that police aren't clever enough to come up with something like this.

Honestly drone defense should be handled by a branch of the military. The Air Force, navy or hell the national guard. Police can't be trusted with our safety....

Wym?
Just because every single day, we have a news story of police being a bad apple, from shooting a man seven times in the back of the head in a wheelchair, to countless rapes of young women, to assaulting people in their own homes, to physical abuse to their own spouses, to discharging their firearms unnecessarily like the time a cop shot at a woman at a gas station, or the time they told a bunch of kids to crawl for their lives because they were biking on the sidewalk, or the time a cop murdered a kid for waving a toy around...
I think you're just not giving them a chance.

Obviously police departments need super expensive laser weapon systems to shoot down drones. I hear companies like General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, and Blue Halo already make these systems. Everyone knows Congress loves spending money on big defense contractors.
-
I wonder what consultants told them they need them. Do you think any work for General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrup Grumman, and Blue Halo?

OR Godzilla.

What we don't need are police that are. I don't want police firing anti aircraft guns/missle barrages or having drone armies. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that this is worth the thought, much less a single cent to fund.
But they want.
(and they haven't even asked you)
You know, there's no reason we can't have anti-drone fireworks.
They don't really even need dangerous amounts of explosives, they just need a strong net to get caught in a prop.
Drones are pretty damn slow if you compare it to a rocket.
I am thinking like silly string or something a bit more durable pressed into a ball. Launch it and some part of that sticky string is going to catch it.
There’s exactly zero chance of that happening given the abundance of air traffic in the U.S. (Also specifically where these “drone” sightings are for obvious reasons).
