What are the mystery drones flying over the US East Coast at night?



Multiple mysterious drones have been spotted at night hovering over the East Coast of America since mid-November.  Government officials seem to have no idea what they are or where they came from and the US military appears to not be able to do anything about them.


If the military and the government claim ignorance and the military appears to not be able to stop them, perhaps it is because they want them there as part of a secret government operation.


Last year, we published an article highlighting an article written by a former British soldier and then Member of Parliament for Bournemouth East Tobias Ellwood.  His article was warning of artificial intelligence (“AI”) opening a Pandora’s box that will completely reshape the rules of war.


“Utilising swarm unmanned systems will allow for instantaneous smart ‘sacrifices’ to be calculated, the timing of which could be time critical in winning a battle,” he said.


At the end of the article, we asked the question: What happens if private corporations and governments designing and controlling AI use it, not for wars between nations or to defend innocent citizens, but instead against defenceless citizens to advance a global agenda?


We facetiously suggested, “As for the drones, perhaps it is time for citizens to become handy with a slingshot.”


A few months later, we published an article touching on the significant risks AI killer drones posed.  But armed killer drones are not the only risk. Other potential malicious uses of drones that we’ve mentioned previously include using drones to drop disease-carrying mosquitoes, disperse airborne water particles containing pathogens and surveillance of populations.

On this week’s ‘New World Next Week’, a video series from The Corbett Report and Media Monarchy that covers some of the most important developments in open source intelligence news, James Corbett and James Evan Palado discuss three stories. 


The first story is about the United Health Care assassin using a hybrid 3D-printed ghost gun.  The second story relates to mystery drones that have been buzzing the East Coast of the United States since mid-November.  The third story the two James’ discuss is the US, Israel and Turkey launching airstrikes in Syria.  We are focusing on the second story in our article and have embedded the video below to begin at this segment of today’s podcast.


The only way to protect yourself in the future, Palado says, is by having “guardian drongels,” using a play on the term “guardian angels.”


“Your own little drone so that all of your whereabouts will be tracked and they can’t accuse you of crimes you didn’t have anything to do with,” he explained. “It’s like your alibi drone.”


Referring to an article published by Activist Post on Wednesday that describes enormous mystery drones flying over New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania at night that “go dark” when approached by US aircraft, Palado said, “These drones have been spotted over military facilities, police departments and other sensitive locations … Even though some of these drones are the size of cars and even though they are buzzing us at rooftop level in some cases, we can’t seem to track them effectively.  And when our aircraft do approach, they go dark and disappear.”


Naturally, people are “freaking out” about this, he said. “They can’t seem to understand why nothing’s being done to stop unidentified drones from doing whatever they want in the airspace, which would instantly make me think, ‘That’s because they’re supposed to be there and this is another government operation they’re just announcing to you’.”


Also briefly mentioned during the podcast was Corbett’s article ‘The Drone Wars: You Are Not Prepared’, which is well worth the read.

The following is the article by Michael Snyder that the two James’ discussed.




Why have groups of large, unidentified “mystery drones” been flying over New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania at night? Some of the “mystery drones” are the size of a car, but government officials seem to have no idea what they are or where they came from. Since this has been happening on a nightly basis since the middle of November, you would think that the most advanced military in the world would have been able to get a really good look at these “mystery drones” by now. But that hasn’t happened. In fact, there have been unconfirmed reports that when our aircraft approach these “mystery drones” they simply go dark and disappear.


Honestly, I don’t know what to make of all of this.  The more I dig into this, the weirder it gets.


According to Fox News, the sightings originally began in Morris County, New Jersey:

Mysterious drones continue to be reported flying overhead in New Jersey, as residents remain without answers as to why there have been so many drone sightings.The drones were reportedly first seen over Morris County, New Jersey, in mid-November. Drones have since been observed regularly across the Garden State, including a recent uptick in Middlesex County and other areas in the state.

One family in Morris County is actually claiming that the time on the clock in their vehicle actually changed as one of the drones hovered above them:

A swarm of mysterious drone sightings near President-Elect Donald Trump’s New Jersey Bedminster golf club continue to baffle local residents, with some now reporting strange changes to their clocks.
As reported by Fox News, one family in Morris County, who followed a drone in their car, said that as the drone hovered above them, their car’s clock changed time and only returned to normal as they drove off.Other eyewitnesses described the drones as being as big as small cars and incredibly loud, likening the cluster of drones to a “parade.”

How can we explain this?


At this stage, government officials are taking this phenomenon very seriously. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is telling us that even the US Department of Homeland Security has gotten involved in the investigation:

Murphy said he had held a briefing with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, senior officials from the Department of Homeland Security, the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and New Jersey State Police to discuss the drone sightings.
The FBI is investigating the sightings and have urged the public to report any drones they see.

If the drones belong to us, there would be no reason for the Department of Homeland Security to be looking into this.  To me, the response by the feds definitely indicates that something is up.


According to one law enforcement official in New Jersey, groups of drones have been spotted hovering over “water reservoirs, electric transmission lines, rail stations, police departments and military installations”:

“Water reservoirs, electric transmission lines, rail stations, police departments, and military installations” have all had the UFOs roaming above them in recent weeks, according to the chief of police for the New Jersey borough of Florham Park.
“Their presence appears nefarious in nature,” the police chief added.

If these drones are flying above very sensitive facilities, and if their behaviour really is “nefarious in nature”, that should deeply alarm all of us.  Are we being invaded?  Or could it be possible that preparations are being made for some other sort of hostile action?


49 drone sightings were reported on Sunday alone. Footage of one of those sightings is being called “the clearest video yet”:

Yesterday, new footage of at least five or possibly six of the unidentified drones was captured in a 50-second cell phone video in New Jersey, which one commenter declared was “the clearest video yet.”
One drone, heard roaring in the skies as it moved through the darkness, appeared to have a cluster of white lights on its underbelly and red lights blinking at the tips of its wings and tail.
Another drone came into frame that resembled a classic “black triangle” UFO or the triangular TR-3B, which beamed bright white lights from its nose, wingtips and tail.

In addition to their nightly visits to New Jersey, groups of mystery drones have also been seen over New York:

Mysterious drones have now been spotted over Staten Island with local politicians now urging the federal government to help provide answers.
Staten Islanders reported seeing the bright-light-bearing drones in the night sky over the island on Thursday, the Staten Island Advance reports.
One such sighting was made by former Air Force Sergeant Walter Ziegler, of New Springville, who viewed the drones with binoculars from his apartment window, the Advance reports.

And groups of mystery drones have also been spotted over the Philadelphia area:

Large drones, or unidentified flying objects that bear a resemblance to drones, have been spotted in the skies over the greater Philadelphia area, according to numerous social media reports and media sources. It’s the latest in a string of similar sightings that have occurred in New Jersey in recent days and sparked rumours and conspiracy theories across the Internet.
The drones, some of them as large as cars, appeared throughout the night Sunday night and into Monday morning.
Accounts on X shared footage from Yardley, Lower Merion, northern Bucks County and more, while 6ABC reports sightings in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia and Broomall in Delaware County.

These drones are doing whatever they want over US airspace and it appears that our military can’t do anything about it.  What does that say about our military?


Interestingly, the Pentagon has just “unveiled a new counter-drone strategy”:

The Pentagon unveiled a new counter-drone strategy after a spate of incursions near US bases prompted concerns over a lack of an action plan for the increasing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Though much of the strategy remains classified, Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin will implement a new counter-drone office within the Pentagon – Joint Counter-Small UAS Office – and a new Warfighter Senior Integration Group, according to a new memo.

Hopefully, we will soon learn what these drones are and who is responsible for sending them.  Because the fact that unidentified aircraft are freely roaming our skies is simply not acceptable.


Of course, there have been many other unidentified objects in our skies in recent years, and we have never gotten solid answers regarding those either.


We are far more vulnerable than most people realise.


If unauthorised drones can hover above New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia without fear of getting intercepted, the same technology could potentially be used to deliver weapons of unimaginable destructive power when the time is right.
