The drones

[Ed Vette]

I've read a couple of reports that it's suspected these are military Drones, and they are looking for any evidence of bio or nuclear threats. There is a reason that they have to fly at night. fwiw

Makes as much or more sense as anything else I've heard.

As people grew bored with this story, not unsurprisingly, the whole fake issue went away

Even the highest-ranked politician who was stoking the fear and hysteria is now admitting it was just nonsense. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the mystery drones flown across New Jersey in late 2024 were "authorized to be flown by the FAA" in the first press briefing of President Donald Trump's second administration.

"I do have news directly from the president of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office, from President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones," Leavitt said.

"After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones," she added. "In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy."

I think there are still some serious questions that should be answered...like, "researching what?"

I think we should go back and look at what our leaders were saying and hold those who irresponsibly stoked the fears and hysteria instead of championing common sense and courage (what happened to, "home of the brave?").  If we never hold people accountable for their deeds and actions, things will only get worse.

Accountability among politicians is rarer than radium

Did anyone really believe the government when they tried to pan off a UFO as a weather balloon?

Sorry but when it comes to government trying to make some mysterious things, a bunch of nothing, I will always have doubts.
I am sure it probably was nothing major but what were they out there to begin with? And for what purpose?

I'm inclined to think it was our own military and they were searching for evidence of something or looking for something. There must have been some kind of public threat.
