You also described the pattern of airplane lights - not sure how I should decipher a "flash" vs "blink", considering brightness and pattern can change depending on the angle and distance its being viewed from:I’ve been seeing them all this week since I first looked up. How to spot these “drones” vs a plane or helicopter at night:
Drone: 2 bright, camera bulb-like flashing white lights on both “wing tips”. The white lights are brighter than any other plane white lights, almost like super white LEDs, and they “flash” like a camera flash, they don’t “blink” like a plane’s lights.
The lights only flash “once” per instance, i.e. if you see the lights flicker say 2-3 times quickly, that’s a helicopter or Cessna.
They have a red blinking light in the middle/bottom.
Download the FlightRadar app to make sure there are no planes in the area of the sky where you’re looking.
Best to see by bodies of water - reservoir particularly, or by the bay/ocean.
Freehold. And for the saying they are planes... Planes don't hover and they don't fly that close to the ground.Where in Western Monmouth?!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I haven’t seen a drone, but I did see a Russia submarine in the Hudson.
No this one was manned with Russians.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Underwater drone. I guess we have those too now.
I think this thing is wildly overblown, certainly bordering on hysteria. But I'm 100% sure there needs to be some better regulation and thinking about drones and how they can be used maliciously, and have countermeasures. If we get some common sense done rules in place that would be a big positive.NSA is apparently reporting that they are picking up a lot of signal interference in areas where drones have been reported hovering or flying around suburban NJ neighborhoods. Apparently, some of the drones are "listening" in on wifi and bluetooth signals.
So all you folks who keep seeing drones around your neighborhoods probably ought to avoid some of your favorite internet activities for awhile.
So while looking for drones I happened to see some birds. God damn, so many birds! Pooping. Spreading disease. And are we sure there aren't any spy birds like the Russian spy Beluga Whale? How can we know. Now I see birds all the time, I can't stop noticing. Some of them are huge. One bird looked really weird. I looked it up and it was a Ring-Necked Pheasant native to China! It's a non-native invasive species!
It is more than just bordering in hysteria. It’s full blown hysteria. Which is hysterical.I think this thing is wildly overblown, certainly bordering on hysteria.

Why hasn't the government done anything about this? Either they know what is going on and they are hiding it, or they don't know and they are incompetent.
Until I get an explanation I'm going to post here everytime I see a bird.
No, it's really not.It is more than just bordering in hysteria. It’s full blown hysteria. Which is hysterical.
Government conspiracies? Yes, yes it is.No, it's really not.
Nah, it's defective Drones Santa got from Craig List that he didn't check out before sending to the Jersey area.Government conspiracies? Yes, yes it is.
Oh if that's "hysteria" then the last 8+ years have been hysteria on steroids lol.Government conspiracies? Yes, yes it is.
When you’re talking to your family and friends do you tie every subject back to Trump with them or is it just with us?Oh if that's "hysteria" then the last 8+ years have been hysteria on steroids lol.
Interesting take...When you’re talking to your family and friends do you tie subject back to Trump with them or is it just with us?
Those are airplanes that are hovering, barely making any noise, along the waterfront....
Just bird studies over Picatinny?Government conspiracies? Yes, yes it is.
Why did you edit this post? What super smart point did you miss in your original post?When you’re talking to your family and friends do you tie every subject back to Trump with them or is it just with us?
I fixed a typo. You see conspiracies everywhere.Why did you edit this post? What super smart point did you miss in your original post?

You literally were fishing for some deeper explanation as to why I edited my 2 sentence post. The answer to why I edited my post is: who cares?Everywhere? Show your work.
lol that's a "conspiracy"-asking you what your edit to a post directed at me was for? I think your tinfoil hat is a little too tight. What else you got?You literally were fishing for some deeper explanation as to why I edited my 2 sentence post. The answer to why I edited my post is: who cares?
I think he's coming back for his final year at Va. Tech.Is there some sort of drone issue?

Why? He wasnt good enough to beat us.He’s our top portal target
Per Pentagon Press Secretary, Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder on Dec17:
"DOD is sending additional resources to Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle — both in New Jersey — to better enable the installations to detect, track and monitor drone activity, Ryder said. Commanders can use the recently released counter unmanned systems strategy to craft their responses to any incursions. "

Those aliens should ask my 80 year old aunt on a cold and wet day like today when she pulls into a station for some gas.I believe that aliens are searching for a reason why we don't have self service gas.
Wait the Feds are now trying to stoke conspiracy theories? 🤔This is how you throw a bone to the crazies
But then they'd rightfully point out the 80-year-old aunts in 49 other states, some of them much colder and wetter, getting along okay.Those aliens should ask my 80 year old aunt on a cold and wet day like today when she pulls into a station for some gas.
No they're not. I regularly get complaints from 80 year old aunts who lack quality options for H&B. And often, when they make such complaints, they also mention that they really wish they didn't have to pump their own gas.But then they'd rightfully point out the 80-year-old aunts in 49 other states, some of them much colder and wetter, getting along okay.
Yeah, that's what they're doing. You figured it out.Wait the Feds are now trying to stoke conspiracy theories? 🤔
Having pumped gas as my first real job many moons ago and worked through weather like I described above, I find it hard to believe that they get along okay in those other states. I didn't really get paid that well for the gas pumping, so I'm also guessing it wasn't a big financial boon for the gas stations when they went to self-service.But then they'd rightfully point out the 80-year-old aunts in 49 other states, some of them much colder and wetter, getting along okay.
Figures you'd say something stoopid.Yeah, that's what they're doing. You figured it out.
