Danish Police Investigate Mysterious UAP Sighting

“Drone@ Sighting Over Koege Port Amid Global UAP Surge

Koege, Denmark — Danish police are investigating a report of approximately 20 drones spotted over the Koege Marina, southwest of Copenhagen, on Friday night. The incident, which has sparked widespread curiosity and concern, is part of a growing trend of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) sightings across Europe and the United States, including a recent surge in reports from New Jersey.

The Incident: Drones Over Koege

According to Danish police, the incident began when a witness reported seeing a swarm of 20 drones hovering over the Koege Marina. By the time officers arrived, only four large drones remained visible. Witnesses described the drones as moving in a coordinated manner before disappearing into Koege Bay at high speed.

“It was unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” said Lars Jensen, a local fisherman who observed the event. “They moved too smoothly, too quietly. And then they were gone.”

Police have launched an investigation to determine the origin and purpose of the drones. No permits had been issued for drone flights in the area at the time, raising questions about who was operating the devices and why. Authorities are also exploring potential links to Russian hybrid warfare tactics, given recent reports of similar incidents in other European countries amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Global Context: A Surge in UAP Sightings

The Koege incident is not an isolated event. In recent months, sightings of drones, orbs, and other UAPs have surged worldwide, prompting investigations and speculation.

• Europe: Similar drone swarms have been reported in Sweden, Norway, and Germany, with many incidents linked to suspected Russian activity. Experts warn that these drones could be used for espionage, sabotage, or psychological operations.
• United States: In New Jersey, residents have reported a wave of UAP sightings, including pulsating orbs and darting lights. In December 2024, multiple witnesses in Sussex County described seeing a fleet of glowing orbs hovering over the town of Newton for nearly an hour. Similar events were reported in Princeton and Atlantic City, with some residents capturing footage of the phenomena.
• Global Trends: According to the National UFO Reporting Center, UAP sightings worldwide increased by 40% in 2024, with many reports describing drone-like objects and orbs of light.

Theories and Investigations

The surge in UAP sightings has sparked a range of theories and investigations:

1. Russian Hybrid Warfare: Many experts believe the drones could be part of a Russian hybrid warfare campaign, designed to destabilize Western nations and gather intelligence.
2. Extraterrestrial Activity: Some researchers argue that the objects could be evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, citing their advanced movements and lack of identifiable technology.
3. Advanced Military Technology: Others speculate that the drones could be classified military aircraft developed by the U.S. or other nations.
4. Natural or Man-Made Phenomena: Skeptics suggest that the sightings could be the result of misidentified natural phenomena or experimental civilian drones.

Local Impact: New Jersey’s UAP Hotspot

While the Koege incident has captured international attention, New Jersey has emerged as a hotspot for UAP activity. In recent months, the state has seen a surge in sightings, with residents reporting everything from drones to pulsating orbs.

• Sussex County: In December 2024, residents of Newton reported seeing a fleet of pulsating orbs hovering over the town for nearly an hour.
• Princeton: A group of students at Princeton University captured footage of a darting light that defied explanation.
• Atlantic City: Tourists and locals alike have reported seeing strange lights over the Atlantic Ocean, with some describing the objects as “otherworldly.”

Government Response: Calls for Transparency

The surge in UAP sightings has prompted calls for transparency from governments worldwide. In November 2024, the U.S. Congress held hearings on UAPs, but officials provided few answers. Similarly, European governments have been tight-lipped about the recent drone sightings, fueling speculation and concern.

“We need to know what’s going on,” said Sarah Thompson, a high school teacher in Newton, New Jersey. “If these objects are a threat, we deserve to know.”

Conclusion: A Mystery Unfolding

The Koege drone sighting is just one piece of a larger puzzle—a global mystery that continues to unfold. Whether the objects are drones, extraterrestrial craft, or something else entirely, one thing is clear: the sky is no longer the limit.

As investigations continue, the world waits for answers.

Ancient Egypt’s UFO Mysteries: Ross Coulthart’s Reality Check Investigation

Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist known for his work on mysterious phenomena, embarked on a fascinating journey through Egypt’s ancient ruins in NewsNation’s Reality Check series. Alongside his friend, lawyer, and researcher JP Hague, Coulthart explored the enduring enigmas of Egypt’s ancient landmarks, raising intriguing questions about advanced technologies, human consciousness, and potential links to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).

Ancient Egypt: A Gateway to Advanced Knowledge?

Coulthart and Hague’s expedition took them to Egypt’s most iconic landmarks, including the Great Pyramid of Giza, where they examined evidence of precise engineering that seems beyond the capabilities of the ancient dynastic Egyptians. They marveled at the pyramid’s alignment with astronomical and mathematical constants, such as the speed of light and the precession of the equinoxes, suggesting an advanced understanding of geometry and the cosmos.

JP Hague highlighted the extraordinary level of precision in the pyramid’s construction. For instance, the perfectly level granite slabs beneath the Great Pyramid continue to defy conventional explanations. He theorized that whoever built these structures had access to knowledge and technology far superior to what was thought to exist during that era.

The Unfinished Obelisk: Evidence of Lost Technologies?

In Aswan, Coulthart and Hague visited the site of the unfinished Obelisk, an enormous block of red granite carved directly into bedrock. The tool marks on the granite resembled smooth, scooped shapes, leading Hague to speculate on the use of advanced sonic or acoustic tools capable of vibrating stone into dust. These theories challenge the mainstream view that such objects were fashioned using primitive stone tools.

The logistical challenge of moving and erecting such colossal objects further deepens the mystery. Hague suggested that ancient Egyptians might have employed levitation technologies, as hinted at in depictions on temple walls, such as those in the Temple of Edfu.

Depictions of Advanced Machines and Beings

The exploration also delved into ancient Egyptian art. Coulthart and Hague examined carvings at the Temple of Abydos, where some hieroglyphs resemble modern machinery, including what looks like a helicopter, submarine, and disc-like objects. While conventional Egyptologists attribute these images to overlapping carvings (a process called palimpsest), the resemblance to modern technology fuels speculation about clairvoyance or knowledge of advanced technologies in ancient times.

Moreover, at Edfu Temple, they encountered depictions of temples seemingly being levitated by tall, humanoid figures wielding rods. These images suggest energy-based technologies that might have played a role in constructing Egypt’s monumental structures.

UAPs and Ancient Egypt: A Connection?

JP Hague shared his personal experiences with UAPs and their possible links to human consciousness, proposing that these phenomena might transcend local time and space. He theorized that ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, might have had interactions with non-human intelligences (NHIs) that informed their technological and spiritual advancements.

Hague’s perspective aligns with the esoteric belief that ancient Egyptians encoded knowledge about the cosmos, human consciousness, and energy manipulation in their art and architecture. The Eye of Horus, for instance, bears a striking resemblance to the human pineal gland, often considered the seat of consciousness and intuition.

Why Does It Matter?

The mysteries of ancient Egypt are not just academic. Rediscovering lost technologies and spiritual integration could revolutionize modern society. According to Hague, the Egyptians achieved a remarkable unity between science, spirituality, and practical life, offering a model for harmonious coexistence with nature and the cosmos.

By revisiting these ancient enigmas, Coulthart and Hague argue, humanity might unlock a deeper understanding of consciousness, energy, and the universe. Their journey highlights the importance of keeping an open mind, bridging the gap between science and the mystical, and embracing the possibility of unknown dimensions of human knowledge.

Ross Coulthart’s exploration of Egypt in Reality Check shines a spotlight on the profound mysteries of ancient civilizations. From the precision of the Great Pyramid to the enigmatic depictions of advanced machines and levitation, these puzzles challenge conventional narratives. Whether through lost knowledge, alien intervention, or untapped human potential, ancient Egypt continues to inspire curiosity and wonder, offering tantalizing clues to humanity’s past and future.

Understanding UFOs: What has to happen in 2025 to move the UAP story forward?

Perhaps humanity is going to be on the receiving end of a shocking revelation that we are accompanied minors in a grown-up universe of intelligent civilizations?

Whatever the case, adult supervision seems advisable. On that pursuit, Space.com asked several leading UFO/UAP experts to look ahead into 2025.

Promising promises

A number of civilian institutions are making promising progress said Mark Rodeghier, president and scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, based in Chicago, Illinois.

What Rodeghier personally hopes to see in 2025 is continued progress with these groups, and others, new people entering the field with expertise and energy, and more development of the academic/professional UFO community.

"All of that will move the story forward, though at a sedate pace," Rodeghier said. To truly make a significant difference — barring some amazing case, or "disclosure" with a capital D, or a detection by SETI researchers of an alien signal — he would like to see:

• NASA take an active role and decide to fund proposals directly on the UAP subject
• Congress mandate funding via, for example, the National Science Foundation, to support research on UAP
• AARO to be more open, within understandable constraints of classification, to releasing their case investigations, and especially, of course, the case investigations for sightings which they cannot resolve.

"I'm not that hopeful, even given good intentions, that more Congressional hearings will be much help, without new whistleblowers with firsthand testimony," continued Rodeghier. "Otherwise, I want Congress to make certain that AARO has the resources required and to conduct thorough oversight of AARO's work," he said.

Hearings, legislation

Next year will see more congressional hearings, possibly additional legislation, and holding the DoD's AARO office publicly accountable, observes Jeff Gould who runs the UAP News Center, an informative website that finds and links to UFO daily news.

"Congress has clearly been deeply interested in the issue in the past three years. I anticipate that they will continue to pursue the UAP topic," said Gould. He expects more former government officials coming forward to speak on the topic.

Wild card ahead?

Gould said the scientific community will advance in two ways.

"There will be increased willingness by the larger scientific community to broach the topic," and anticipates more papers of greater depth going forward. This year, he said, academic papers included a civilian astronomer's guide to UAP research, the commissioning of an all-sky infrared camera array for detection of airborne objects, as well as detecting extraterrestrial life with astophotonics.

Additionally, there are research organizations focused on UAP that will continue to deliver relevant research, Gould said, including Harvard's Galileo Project, Stanford University's Sol Foundation that's a think tank undertaking cutting-edge inquiry into all aspects of UAP, as well as The SETI Institute.

"The wild card is the Trump administration," Gould said. "They seem to have a bias towards declassification. Will they declassify UAP related documents? We'll see," he concluded.

Conspiratorial-driven mythos

In 2025, science needs to get serious about studying UAP, "or we will be stuck at a dead end of the conspiratorial-driven mythos," said Alejandro Rojas, a consultant for Enigma Labs that labels itself as the "#1 destination for UFO sighting alerts."

The newly found credibility of the topic, said Rojas, "has highlighted a blind spot the Pentagon had toward detecting low-tech small craft flying within secured airspace on land and sea."

While concerning, that's a very terrestrial and human problem, Rojas added.

Government conspiracies

"Regarding the anomalous side of the issue, public interest is centered on unsubstantiated claims of government conspiracies regarding aliens and Roswell [New Mexico]. To some, UFO disclosure only means 'tell me what I already know, aliens are here and the government interacts with them.' Opportunists, many of them longtime proponents of alien conspiracies, tell the public what they want to hear sans evidence," said Rojas.

The outcome is that this creates a lot of distrust and foments a hostile attitude towards scientists and those trying to research the topic methodically, Rojas said.

"I think that we will never know what is truly going on until we make a space where we can publicly and transparently engage in and encourage hard data collection from sensor systems and careful scientific analysis of that data," Rojas advised.

Increased transparency and openness

Delving into the topic for 18 years, Robert Powell, executive board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) explains that he's confident about one fact. "The UFO/UAP subject is not hindered by our calendar and will continue to move forward well past the year 2025," he said.

In the coming year, Powell spelled out SCU's agenda, promoting three areas:

• Federal and private investments in unclassified UAP science research by academia and the scientific community. Increased collaboration between scientists, researchers, and government agencies could foster a more rigorous and multidisciplinary approach to the study of UAP. This is an approach that we have never taken since the phenomenon began in 1942.
• Development of advanced UAP detection and sensor technologies. Significant sums of money are needed for the development and the deployment of networked sensor arrays.
• Increased transparency and openness in the study of UAP. We must move away from a military-based study of the phenomenon to a science-based study. The former is controlled by secrecy while the latter depends on openness and collaboration.

First contact

"It matters not whether one believes that UAP are controlled by an advanced intelligence," Powell said. "The more exoplanets we discover, the more we know that someday the time will come when we will make first contact with another intelligence."

Powell said there's need to start now to establish clear definitions of near-Earth technosignatures, communication protocols, and the responsible and ethical sharing of knowledge gained from such contact.

"Furthermore, we must consider who should represent humanity in such a momentous event," Powell observed. "Should it be a nation-state's military organization or an entity that speaks for all of humanity? This is a critical question with far-reaching implications for the future of our species," he said.

Despite the MSM at the moment keeps a low profile in informing the public about the unidentified drones, the 'drone mystery' is still going on with hundreds of drones spotted across the US, especially the eastern United States. 

Check out the size of this high-tech drone, estimated to be around 25-30 feet in length, possibly even larger. It was recently filmed flying low over New Jersey. 

(Watch the video of the craft at the bottom of the article.) 

The mystery surrounding unidentified drones continues to capture attention, particularly across the eastern United States. While mainstream media (MSM) maintains a low profile in reporting on these occurrences, sightings persist, with hundreds of drones reported in various regions. 

Officials have repeatedly assured the public that these drones pose no threat to national security. However, skepticism remains high, as the government has yet to provide a comprehensive explanation, leaving many feeling left in the dark. 

Dr. Steven Greer recently made a prediction during an interview with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty. He claimed that the drone crisis is likely to escalate "within the next 30 days." According to Greer, the notion of a supposed "alien invasion" is a deliberate distraction designed to obscure the true nature of extraterrestrial encounters, which he asserts have been ongoing for decades. This statement has sparked further speculation among those following developments in the UFO community. 

Adding to the anticipation, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has forecasted that 2025 will mark a turning point in public awareness about extraterrestrial matters. Describing the current period as “the calm before the storm,” Coulthart envisions transformative revelations in the coming year. 

Michael Salla, Ph.D., another figure in the disclosure movement, has reported information from a retired U.S. Army serviceman, identified as JP. According to JP, factions within the U.S. military, referred to as "White Hats," along with an international coalition known as the “Earth Alliance,” are preparing to disclose advanced alien technology to the public. This advanced technology, allegedly hidden for decades by shadowy "deep state" organizations and defense contractors, includes three medium-sized cigar-shaped spacecraft and numerous unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) stored in an underground facility in Tampa, Florida. These alleged alien-tech craft are said to possess advanced stealth capabilities, allowing them to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. 

As part of a broader disclosure strategy, the unveiling of these craft is intended to prepare the public for even larger extraterrestrial revelations in the months ahead. 

It seems as two opposing forces are at play: 

• The Deep State: Allegedly leveraging drones and orbs sightings as part of a staged operation to manipulate public perception to fabricate the illusion of an alien invasion in an attempt to hide the real truth about extraterrestrial encounters and maintain the secrecy around covert programs and maintain control over advanced technologies acquired over the past 70 years. 
• The Earth Alliance: Seeking to reveal genuine alien technology obtained from real UFO crashes, confirming the existence of extraterrestrial life and promoting transparency. 

Whether these predictions will materialize remains to be seen, but they have undeniably heightened public interest in what lies ahead.

Another 'orange UFO orb' was spotted in the skies over the US near a military base in Tennessee

• READ MORE: Georgia father and son run after 'orange UFO orb' 

By SAMANTHA RUTT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Another mysterious 'orange UFO orb' was spotted flying over the US, however, this time the inexplicable glow was seen conspicuously hovering over a military base in Tennessee.

An anonymous user on Reddit captured footage of a mystifying 'bright orange light' flying relatively low as it traveled over Fort Campbell - a military base along the Tennessee-Kentucky border - on New Year's Day.

The user, who witnessed the perplexing 'celestial' event alongside their father, who is a seasoned Army veteran, said that they 'couldn't explain' what they were seeing in the skies above.

'My dad, a former soldier with nearly 30 years of Army experience and extensive knowledge of the aircrafts that fly over his house, said he couldn’t explain what he saw - this was unlike anything he’d encountered before,' the post reads.

Around 12:10am on January 1, the Redditor, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville,  tried to capture the object 'as quickly as possible,' snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb. 

'Just after midnight, my dad was outside watching fireworks when he noticed a bright orange light flying relatively low and maintaining a steady, consistent speed as it traveled from the northwest - where both Fort Campbell and the local airport are located,' the user claimed.

The curious onlookers were mystified at the unidentified flying object as it did not appear to have any additional lights as they suspect most drones do.  

'My friend, dad, and I watched the object together and were surprised it had no additional lights, as one might expect on a drone,' the post adds.

Around 12:10am on January 1, the user, who was visiting family in a city just outside Nashville, then tried to capture the object 'as quickly as possible,' snapping a near 35-second clip of the glowing orb

'Initially, I thought it might be a hobbyist drone capturing footage of the fireworks for the New Year, but the apparent distance it was flying has made me second-guess that assumption.'

Bright high-flying 'orange UFO orbs' have been spotted across the US in recent weeks with the most recent sighting surfacing over New York City.

On December 27, Reddit user @YogurtclosetFlat5701 posted a video of the inexplicable luminous object to the 'The UFOs Subreddit' - a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations.

The local recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport. 

'We looked up and there were 4 orange orbs in formation in what is suppose to be a no fly zone they then started to disappear,' the user wrote.

In the video, four unblinking orange orbs are suspended in the air, forming a striking boomerang shape. 

A video was taken from inside the user's car and another from outside the user's car.

'They were moving oddly like not completely stationary and then started to disappear one by one. The 2nd to last one drifted slighting then disappeared. They maintained that formation for the duration of the sighting,' the user said.

Bright orange 'UGO orbs' were allegedly caught flying over New York City ,' stumping raising concern among locals

The traveler recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport

Users local to the New York City area also confirmed the traveler's sightings. One, who goes by the username @ZoraOctavia, said they have lived by the airport for over a decade and know the difference between a plane and a UFO.

'Lived here 14 years with planes flying by all day everyday. They fly so low it feels like you can almost touch them. I know what they look like when they come in to land and take off. I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever,' the user said.

Other Redditors deemed the occurrence as highly suspicious and were shocked the government wasn't taking immediate action.

'Seeing as that's a no fly zone, the FAA should be all over that,' said a user.

'This is truly not okay. Can we please start demanding the government gives more a f*** about this?' chimed a third.

Recent reports of strange orbs in the skies above the eastern United States have added another layer of mystery to the ongoing drone sightings across the country. 

A father and son in Georgia experienced an unusual encounter on December 26  when they spotted a bright orange 'UFO orb' moving across the night sky. 

While taking out the trash, the father noticed the glowing object and pointed it out to his son.

A father and son in Georgia followed a mysterious 'orange UFO orb' after they spotted the luminous hue gliding through the sky shortly after 6:30pm on Thursday evening

Earlier this week, another perplexing light was captured hovering over the skies of New Jersey

Intrigued, they watched the orb for several minutes before deciding to film it. 

The father then shared the video on the 'UFO Reddit' forum, seeking explanations for the mysterious phenomenon.

The 58-second video shows the orange orb gliding through the sky, occasionally moving upward or downward. 

As the father followed it, the orb appeared to dim and eventually vanish, leaving him and his son puzzled about its nature.

The father described the initial sighting as a 'huge' light in the distance, which seemed to dim as it approached. He speculated that the orb might have been trying to evade him, or it could have simply disappeared behind clouds.

The video has since garnered significant attention on Reddit, with over 2,000 shares and 500 comments from users discussing the unusual sighting.

Just days prior, a perplexing light was captured hovering over New Jersey skies. 

Video footage from near Atlantic City shows a white light blinking before suddenly accelerating away at incredible speeds, leaving observers stunned.

These recent events follow a report from a US military witness who experienced a close encounter with a silent, luminous object while camping in October. 

The witness described the object as hovering 100 yards above, illuminating the area brighter than any full moon.

These sightings, along with others reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.

A video taken by an airline passenger reportedly during a commercial flight over the UK shows what seem to be two figures standing on a layer of clouds. 

The intriguing footage has sparked a wave of speculation online. While some viewers suggest the figures could be supernatural beings, closer analysis of the footage reveals additional shapes emerging through the clouds as the camera pans from left to right, image below.

This has led others to theorize that the "figures" might actually be exhaust stacks or other tall structures releasing steam, breaking through a fog layer and creating an illusion of human-like forms. 

Are these figures, or something else ?

Rather than supernatural entities, the phenomenon is more likely an example of pareidolia, a psychological tendency to perceive familiar shapes, such as faces or figures, in random patterns.

• READ MORE: Military witness says UFO made wildlife go 'completely silent'

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

While official reports of eerie drone-like UFOs dropped over the holidays, New Jersey residents are still coming forward with bizarre encounters.

Two witnesses in Manalapan Township, for example, videotaped a bus-sized, 25- to 50-foot-long black triangle UFO that they saw 'pull off a high g [force] maneuver over a residential area' just days before Christmas.

The sighting, which lasted at least one minute, ended with the object zooming 'in the general direction of McGuire [Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst]' — matching a persistent pattern of 'drone' UFO incursions over US bases in recent years.

Another New Jersey skywatcher recorded what they described as a classic 'flying saucer' with an 'aura or haze around object' just three miles off the coast of Atlantic City.

And still more Garden State witnesses now say they saw as many as 20 to 30 drones just this Wednesday night, which 'kind of hovered and all looked like miniature aircraft,' in an account posted to Facebook. 'Very disconcerting for sure,' one witness said.

Some experts attribute the drop in official reports to law enforcement to expanded drone flight bans by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) across the tristate area.

But others, including former chief of the FBI's counter-drone unit Rob D'Amico, believe most of the sightings were errors and 'hysteria' to begin with, suggesting that the decline might be nothing more than a case of the 'mystery drone' fever breaking. 

'I truly think that 90 percent of these sightings are manned aircraft,' D'Amico said. 'People have never looked up in the sky before to notice how crowded it is.'

Two witnesses in Manalapan, NJ, photographed a 25-50 foot-long black triangle UFO that they saw 'pull off a high g [force] maneuver over a residential area' just days before Christmas

'When you look at them and the landing lights and the navigation lights and how they fly,' D'Amico argued in an interview with NJ Spotlight, 'they are manned aircraft.'

But local eyewitnesses are unconvinced by the past and present federal investigators dismissive assertions, with many acknowledging that the strange craft do resemble traditional aircraft.

Rich V. reported seeing a large drone buzzing over his in-laws' house in Somerset this Christmas.

He shared the details with DailyMail.com, saying it was flying lower than the average airplane and was the size of a private jet. 

'It went over homes so there was a reference point to see how low it was,' Rich said. 

'2 additional large drones flew over shortly after I left which I did not see first hand, but was told to expect it by my in-law in law enforcement,' he told DailyMail.com of the event, which occurred during a Christmas visit just last week.

Somerset sits about 30 miles south of Newark airport where tons of planes fly in and out from all parts of the world. 

But, as Rich took pains to emphasize, 'we checked the Flight Radar and there was no plane in the sky where we were at, which was Bound Brook NJ.' 

His account of odd behavior by somewhat conventional-looking objects echoes the account from this past Wednesday night by a driver, Richie Sougstad, who spotted roughly 20-30 drones on his commute home through northern New Jersey.

Sougstad described the drones as being stationary except for two. 

'One was moving slowly about 20 mph, another one just kinda shot up into the atmosphere and disappeared from sight,' he shared online.

But the remaining two dozen or so, he explained, 'looked like mini airplanes but they were definitely bigger than my pick up truck.' 

'Crazy part to me was just how they hovered like a helicopter but just silently,' he said.

On December 21, 2024 at around 7:10pm in Atlantic City, one witness told NUFORC that they documented 'a strange flying saucer' that 'appeared to shake and change shape, but always returning to its original disc shape' (still image from the witnesses video submission above)

The two Manalapan witnesses who saw a 25-50 foot 'black triangle' UFO from little more than 400 yards above them along County Route 527 described the craft as 'silent' despite flying so 'quickly' that they initially thought it was a jet (above their second photo to NUFORC)

Experts have said that many of the drone sightings were actually manned aircraft as seen in this image

Tales of more exotic-looking drones or UFOs spotted in recent weeks over New Jersey, as reported to the nonprofit National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), have also curiously kept to these same 'bus-sized' dimensions. 

The two Manalapan witnesses who saw a 25-50 foot 'black triangle' UFO from little more than 400 yards above them described the craft as 'silent' despite flying so 'quickly' that they initially thought it was a jet.

'Took a screenshot from the vid and you can just make out a dark triangle angled around each of its 3 lights,' one of the two anonymous NUFORC witnesses reported.

The witness said that a friend claimed the sightings might have been a TR-3B: the legendary and still unconfirmed 'Black Manta' anti-gravity spy plane, alleged to have been made by US defense contractor Northrop in the early 1990s.

The black triangle, the said, was spotted above County Route 527 on December 18, 2024 at around 7:30pm ET.

Three days later, on December 21 at around 7:10pm in Atlantic City, one witness told NUFORC that they documented 'a strange flying saucer' that 'appeared to shake and change shape, but always returning to its original disc shape.'

Shortly after this flying disk left, the witness said it was followed in apparent pursuit by a 'red/pink light' the size of basketball that flew past 'at high speed, flashing randomly and leaving a reddish trail in the sky.' 

But the witness was only able to submit video of the first UFO to NUFORC.

Why do rich, bored people report more UFO sightings?

Study shows that UFO sightings are more common in wealthy areas and everywhere during economic downturns.

UFO: Are UFO sightings for the rich and bored?

With global interest in UFOs at an all-time high, particularly in the United States where mysterious drone sightings have been driving everyone crazy, two Israeli researchers have uncovered fascinating patterns in who reports these mysterious sightings — and when. 

Their study, published in Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, reveals that UFO reports might tell us less about what’s in the sky and more about what’s happening on the ground, particularly in our bank accounts.

Ohad Raveh from Hebrew University and Nathan Goldstein from Bar-Ilan University were trying to solve an interesting puzzle: How can we measure what the public is paying attention to in different places and at different times? This is important for understanding the economy, but it’s difficult to measure.

They looked at years of data cataloguing recorded sightings of UFOs — or as they refer to them, UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena). 

Their assumption was that when people report seeing something strange in the sky, they’re clearly paying attention to their surroundings. The researchers thought this could be a useful way to measure public attention.

“ We set out to understand what the association is between attention given to the sky and attention given to the economy,” explains Raveh.

Two contradictory findings?

The researchers analyzed thousands of reports from the National UFO Reporting Center in the United States and discovered that more wealthy areas consistently report more UFO sightings than less wealthy regions.

Raveh and Goldstein initially believed that this phenomenon could be explained by understanding attention as a hierarchical system: you give attention to the most pressing issues before you worry about other things.

“Once you give attention to the fundamental things, then you may give attention to things that are more luxurious,” Raveh elaborates. “Attention to the economy is a fundamental thing, because in the end that’s what brings food to your table. But once you attend to that, then you have more time on your hands to start looking at the sky.”

So, because people who are more financially secure can let their minds (and eyes) wander from their budgets, they’re more likely to see UAPs, right?

However, that theory runs into some turbulence when considering the second pattern they uncovered during their research: Across the board, both poor and wealthy areas saw an increase in UFO sightings during economic downturns – a pattern that caught the researchers by surprise.

“ We thought that the two types of attention would be substitutable. Because attention is a limited resource, and if you give attention to, say, the sky, that would be at the expense of other types of attention that you can give to other factors like the economy,” says Raveh. “But apparently it doesn’t work like that.”

To summarize: Wealthy areas generally report more UFOs than poor areas, but when any area hits hard economic times, UFO reports increase. 

It’s all about attention

This apparent contradiction makes sense when you realize UFO reports are really measuring how much attention people are paying to their surroundings.

Wealthy people generally have more free time and mental space to notice unusual things in the sky. But during economic downturns, people everywhere have more time on their hands (often due to job losses or reduced work hours) and thus spot more UFOs.

This interpretation is supported by what the researchers saw during Covid lockdowns: When people were forcibly given more free time (even if they weren’t necessarily experiencing economic hardship), UFO sightings increased.

Overall, the research findings serve as strong evidence that UFO/UAP sightings serve as a reliable indicator of public attention patterns, which opens new possibilities for understanding how public attention influences economic outcomes.

Only one question remains, though — have the researchers seen any UFOs themselves?

“ I wish!” jokes Raveh. “Actually, since we started to work, I’ve tried to give more attention to the skies. But I haven’t seen anything, unfortunately. I hope they visit Israel sometime.”

The advancement of low Earth orbit technologies and addressing unresolved challenges like unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) were among the issues discussed during a recent meeting hosted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and attended by more than 120 experts.

The interagency working group meeting, held on November 4, 2024, convened to exchange information and explore ways to advance the development of disruptive technology and ‘edge science’ within the U.S. government.

Discussions focused on the complexities of pushing technological boundaries in government projects while navigating the evolving challenges presented by unidentified aerial objects, which have remained a pressing area of scientific inquiry and a national security challenge for many decades. 

The U.S. National Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Research and Development Strategy refers to a coordinated effort by various U.S. government agencies to establish policies, programs, and partnerships focused on utilizing, managing, and securing the low-earth orbit environment. Groups attending the meeting ranged from space economy and advanced manufacturing to experts in human systems, biological sciences, bioengineering, and agriculture, as well as research innovators and entrepreneurs committed to advancing innovation.

With over 120 people in attendance, the November online event was chaired by Anna Brady-Estevez, National Program Director at the National Science Foundation, Co-Chair of US Digital Assets Research and Development Strategy, and Co-Chair of US Interagency Space Economy.

“I am thrilled to see the National Science Foundation participating in this important initiative,” said Nicole Wagner, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of LambdaVision. Experts like Wagner and others in attendance explored the impact of space, microgravity, and advanced materials at the November meeting, including their potential in biomaterials, semiconductors, and retina development. 

“The research and work that is happening in low earth orbit right now has the potential to benefit people on Earth, and these types of interagency conversations and discussions are necessary to lay the foundation for research to come,” Wagner said. 

The November meeting brought together thought leaders and experts from diverse fields to discuss the future of space, technology, and their potential applications in advancing national security, aerospace, and scientific discovery. Speakers included keynotes Charles Chase, Co-Founder of UnLAB, who focused on disruptive technologies that could pave the way for a more abundant future, and Hal Puthoff, President & CEO at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin and EarthTech International Inc., who discussed the history and technological development of UAP studies.

Discussions also touched on space-based research and the prediction and prevention of accelerated stem cell aging and cancer evolution, as presented by Cat Jamieson, Ph.D. Other presentations covered extended electrodynamics, tissue multiplexed staining, and the intersection of UAP phenomena with biological science, as discussed by Mike Fiddy, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Stanford professor of pathology Garry Nolan, Ph.D.

Others in attendance included Rhodium Scientific founder Olivia Holzhaus,  former fighter pilot and Americans for Safe Aerospace co-founder Ryan Graves, and Jay Stratton, the former Director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), who shared perspectives on government engagement with UAP research.

Further presentations included topics on quantum propulsion, space-time distortion, lattice confinement fusion, and advanced sensing. Experts like American scientist and engineer Travis Taylor, Ph.D, and Dr. Chance Glenn, President of Morningbird Space Corporation, offered their expertise in cutting-edge research areas.

Others who presented included NASA Glenn Research Center scientist Larry Forsley; Stevens Institute of Technology researcher Lou DeChiaro, Ph.D; Sonny White, founder of Limitless Space Institute; Phillip Lentz, founder of UnSpace; Richard Banduric, CEO of Field Propulsion Technologies Inc.; Julia Mossbridge Ph.D Neuroscientist and co-founder of RISE; and Ankur Bhatt, a researcher with UCLA Electrodynamics.

Ryan Graves, who characterized the meeting as being “ 70 percent edge and deep technology and 30 percent UAP,” said he was there primarily to discuss his personal experiences involving the anomalous phenomena his organization promotes awareness of. 

“ I was there to talk about my experiences, both as a pilot and as someone who had to interact with these things (UAPs) for a period of time,” Graves told The Debrief.

Chaired and assembled by Anna Brady-Estevez, a low-profile but influential figure advancing innovation within the National Science Foundation, the event’s coordinator is no stranger to pushing the boundaries and helping to finance disruptive or edge science research. With a Ph.D in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from Yale University, Brasy-Estevez leads the NSF’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, managing a national portfolio and investments in chemical, environmental, and distributed ledger technologies (including blockchain and DAGs) and fosters positive relationships, funding, and advancements within the science and technology communities.

Staying Ahead of Foreign Adversaries

Amid modern global challenges involving geopolitical tensions with China, Russia, and the United States, parallels to the Cold War era seem increasingly evident. During the height of the Cold War and the first modern space race, the U.S. government pursued what some now call ‘edge science’—cutting-edge research that the U.S. aimed to use to help secure global power, technological dominance, and ideological influence. Throughout that period, the topic of UAPs (then primarily called unidentified flying objects, or UFOs) repeatedly surfaced, drawing attention from key government entities like the CIA, the Air Force, and other federal agencies, whether entirely welcome or not.

The U.S. must continue investing in frontier scientific research and emerging technologies to remain competitive. Staying at the forefront of edge science is essential for maintaining superiority in critical fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, aerospace engineering, and defense technologies. Falling behind in these areas could jeopardize national security and risk losing technological dominance, particularly in the context of UAPs and advanced aerospace systems. Moreover, failure to prioritize these innovations could hinder U.S. capabilities in space exploration, military defense, and strategic intelligence.

“I had a long career at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, where I was a Senior Technical Fellow and led the Revolutionary Technology organization, focusing on developing and transitioning breakthrough technologies,” says Charles Chase, Co-Founder of UnLAB. “This experience gave me good insight into advanced technologies, military systems, and threats.”

For Chase, the most promising disruptive technologies are those that he says can reduce conflict and its drivers by creating abundance.

“Falling behind could mean that disruptive technologies are developed without regard for peaceful applications, increasing global instability,” Chase said. “Without leadership, the U.S. might lose its ability to shape the ethical use of advanced technologies, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by others.”

However, government policy plays a critical role in how edge science evolves. Determining what comes first—policy adjustments or technological advancements—remains a crucial part of the equation. 

“Investing in edge science, or what I call frontier science, is essential to maintaining national security, driving economic growth, and giving the U.S the ability to help shape the future by using technological advancements for good,” said Jay Stratton, former director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) and Chief Operating Officer with QuantumFrontier, LLC, in a statement provided to The Debrief.

“Whether it’s UAP research or quantum physics, leading in frontier science challenges what we know, pushes innovation forward, and impacts our future,” Stratton said. “Falling behind risks not only losing our nation’s competitive edge but also leaves critical discoveries in the hands of adversaries, giving them an incredible advantage on both the battlefield of the future and the global stage of technological and economic dominance.”

“I’m committed to helping make sure the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence on the global stage,” Stratton said.

Often, policies are created retroactively to manage new developments within culture and society, such as the internet, AI, social media, or nuclear weapons. Ideally, governments would anticipate cultural market trends and scientific and technological advancements to design proactive policies supporting national defense and cultural and economic goals.

“ But the problem with policy is that you can be wrong, right?” Graves says. 

“ If we were a very organized government, we would hope that we would have the ability to have an understanding of where the market is going, where the technology is going, what’s capable, and then ideally crafting policy that would allow us to advance any of those particular technology regimes or areas that we,” Graves told The Debrief.

It seems fitting that the UAP subject has been brought to the table again, especially amid the heightened modern-day global tensions. This demonstrates that government agencies and scientific officials are finally viewing it as a serious field of inquiry and emphasizing its relevance to interagency efforts like those outlined at the November meeting. 

While the meeting wasn’t primarily focused on UAPs, the presenters were tackling some of the most complex issues in frontier science. Yet, one consistent point of contention, both within and outside of progressive meetings like these, involves government and private funding.

“The way edge science and technology has been advanced in the past is by dedicated funding that isn’t transitioned to more mainstream work,” explained Julia Mossbrige, Ph.D, in an email to The Debrief.

“For example, the Bial Foundation in Portugal funds mainstream psychophysiology research and also funds PSI research—they have conferences in which the researchers doing this work meet one another and discuss their fields,” Mossbridge said.

“This approach—mainstreaming the edge—is key. But if it is mainstreamed so much that the new edge fails to be explored, that’s a problem.”

Given that these ideas and concepts were, for now, only the subjects of presentations, the obvious next step is to address how all of this will be funded and why funding is so critical to advancing cutting-edge science within the government.

“Dedicated funding allows you to focus on the things that matter without fear of losing access to resources when a funding cycle is over, or an administration changes,” Dr. Chance Glenn observed in an email to The Debrief. “Science and technology is what has placed the United States firmly in the position of a global leader.  It is what will keep us there.  It is what could catapult another nation forward as well.  Therefore, bleeding edge science and technology must be supported consistently.”

Triangular-Shaped UFO Filmed By Multiple Witnesses Stumps Locals

by Douglas Charles

At some point, the truth about all of these UFO and drone sightings has to start being revealed. There are just too many eyewitness reports and videos being shared online for governments to just keep pretending like nothing is happening.

It’s not just in the United States either (though that is where a majority of the reports are originating). They have also been happening in places like the United Kingdom, Germany, and now, in Brazil.

While orb-shaped UFOs are perhaps the most common type of UFO that has been seen over the years, triangular-shaped crafts have also been reported being seen quite often

The latest triangular-shaped UFO to be reported, and in this case filmed, occurred recently in the Barigui Park, in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil.

“I came across the video yesterday while browsing reels on Instagram,” a report written for Ovniologia in Brazil read. “The account published the footage, called Paranadrone , is a page dedicated to aerial images to with drones and has no connection to the UFO theme.

“I contacted you and requested the original footage, which was sent to me. The video was forwarded them by a follower who requested anonymity. The images were recorded around 8 pm, while the witness was in a trade in the park region.

“At the beginning of the video, it is possible to see that the person filming was apparently close to a wall, inside a residence or business, the Paranadro told me. Then, we see a large, luminous point coming from the left, reveals its which triangular shape when the witness zooms in,” the report continued.

“The object crosses the sky at a considerable and constant speed until it disappears from the author’s field of vision behind the trees. See below.”

“Here we have what appears to be beautiful footage of a triangular UFO. The fixed, unwavering lights at the bottom seem to match reports of these craft. One worth thing noting is the number of lights. As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, three to four lights are usually reported on these objects. However, in the footage, in addition to the three lights at the ends, we can see two more luminous points near the larger central light.

“This led me to question if it was actually a solid object or just a formation of orbs. While the footage is quite clear, it is not possible to draw a definitive conclusion.”

The report goes on to say that another witness to the same UFO claimed it had “two lights at a considerably low altitude that same day. One of them was in front of her house, with a green and red coloration, while the other, located behind the house, was orange in color and considerably larger.”

Her neighbor also saw the UFO and also filmed it.

The report by Ovniologia went on to explain, “I spoke to other people who reported strange activity in the skies over Curitiba this month. The reports describe some anomalous sightings and experiences. It is possible that that some incidence of the phenomenon is occurring in the region.

“When I watched the video of the triangular UFO, the first thing thing that came to mind was the wave of drones on American soil. Could there be any possible connection? Could it be starting to spread to other regions of the Americas? We don’t know.”

So far, no definitive explanation has been revealed.

Moment 'glowing red UFO' soars over Disney World baffles parkgoers

• READ MORE: Unlikely US state named best for UFO-spotters in new 2024 study

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Winter tourists at Disney World in Orlando, Florida caught a glimpse of a 'glowing red' UFO streaking upward in the night sky like a falling star in reverse.

A parkgoer was capturing the scene inside Epcot when the crowd turned and began pointing to the illuminated object in the sky.

The video was posted on social media where users are sure the object was an 'orb'-like unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) of extraterrestrial origin.

One user on X commented: 'Yet more even bizarre aerial phenomena witnessed again by tens of thousands of people. They' clearly want us to all see it now…'

While the bizarre sighting may have sparked fears of an alien encounter, others on social media were quick to point out that the glowing streak was likely a SpaceX rocket that launched from Cape Canaveral.

The clip was taken on December 16 and a Falcon 9 rocket blasted off that night at 7:52pm ET.

After stunning Disney parkgoers with the spectacle, Falcon 9's reusable first stage booster reportedly came back to Earth about 8.5 minutes after launch — executing a landing on the drone ship 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' in the Atlantic. 

Winter tourists at Disney World in Orlando caught a glimpse of a 'glowing red' UFO streaking upward in the night sky like a falling star in reverse. 'Look what's in the skies about EPCOT tonight!!' one park patron posted to social media, pointing in wonder at the apparent craft

Amateur investigators to Disney World's glowing red UFO have been baffled: 'I've seen a lot of shooting stars,' one observer posted. 'None have ever glowed red. It's not a shooting star. It's not firework'

The Falcon 9 rocket launched as part of mission RRT-1, an effort that included the transport of an advanced GPS satellite into orbit for the US military branch. 

SpaceX is currently under contract to launch three of these GPS-3 satellites in total, with the first launched nearly a year prior, back in January 2023.

Below the original TikTok video of the odd sight about Disney World's EPCOT Center, posted by user @DisneyDads, some locals were keen to share their familiarity with what a SpaceX launch looks like locally. 

'That's Space X,' former Disney theme park employee Brandon Harper posted to the video. 'I live in Orlando, eight miles from Disney.'

But that did not stop others from proposing more exotic theories.

'Google US Navy Laser Creates Plasma 'UFOs,'' one TikTok user advised. 

'They are using the plasma balls to create heat to attract heat seeking missiles instead of hitting our drones. Our drones are testing.'

Soon other Disney fans - who were facing away from the unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) - can be seen swiveling their heads to see the strange sight with their own eyes

The episode appears to be just one of multiple cases from this month when a SpaceX launch was visible from the Magic Kingdom.

A park patron, who goes by Armand Luigi, Esq. on social site X.com, visited Disney on December 23, 2024 and reported seeing a similar eerie red glowing streak across the sky that was timed to SpaceX's mission to launch 21 Starlink satellites late that night.

The apparent rocket flames are visible in the video, even through the red haze of the park's nearby tiki torch flames.

'I was there and took this video in Epcot, Disney WORLD,' Luigi said in his post. 'We looked it up while it was happening, and it was a SpaceX Launch.'

Many still remain unconvinced that the object has been concretely identified however, with one observer claiming the video was a forgery: 'It's called CGI,' he said.

What has to happen in 2025 to move the UAP story forward?

Perhaps humanity is going to be on the receiving end of a shocking revelation that we are accompanied minors in a grown-up universe of intelligent civilizations?

Whatever the case, adult supervision seems advisable. On that pursuit, Space.com asked several leading UFO/UAP experts to look ahead into 2025.

Promising promises

A number of civilian institutions are making promising progress said Mark Rodeghier, president and scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, based in Chicago, Illinois.

What Rodeghier personally hopes to see in 2025 is continued progress with these groups, and others, new people entering the field with expertise and energy, and more development of the academic/professional UFO community

"All of that will move the story forward, though at a sedate pace," Rodeghier said. To truly make a significant difference — barring some amazing case, or "disclosure" with a capital D, or a detection by SETI researchers of an alien signal — he would like to see:

• NASA take an active role and decide to fund proposals directly on the UAP subject
• Congress mandate funding via, for example, the National Science Foundation, to support research on UAP
• AARO to be more open, within understandable constraints of classification, to releasing their case investigations, and especially, of course, the case investigations for sightings which they cannot resolve.

"I'm not that hopeful, even given good intentions, that more Congressional hearings will be much help, without new whistleblowers with firsthand testimony," continued Rodeghier. "Otherwise, I want Congress to make certain that AARO has the resources required and to conduct thorough oversight of AARO's work," he said.

Hearings, legislation

Next year will see more congressional hearings, possibly additional legislation, and holding the DoD's AARO office publicly accountable, observes Jeff Gould who runs the UAP News Center, an informative website that finds and links to UFO daily news.

"Congress has clearly been deeply interested in the issue in the past three years. I anticipate that they will continue to pursue the UAP topic," said Gould. He expects more former government officials coming forward to speak on the topic.

Wild card ahead?

Gould said the scientific community will advance in two ways.

"There will be increased willingness by the larger scientific community to broach the topic," and anticipates more papers of greater depth going forward. This year, he said, academic papers included a civilian astronomer's guide to UAP research, the commissioning of an all-sky infrared camera array for detection of airborne objects, as well as detecting extraterrestrial life with astophotonics.

Additionally, there are research organizations focused on UAP that will continue to deliver relevant research, Gould said, including Harvard's Galileo Project, Stanford University's Sol Foundation that's a think tank undertaking cutting-edge inquiry into all aspects of UAP, as well as The SETI Institute.

"The wild card is the Trump administration," Gould said. "They seem to have a bias towards declassification. Will they declassify UAP related documents? We'll see," he concluded.

Conspiratorial-driven mythos

In 2025, science needs to get serious about studying UAP, "or we will be stuck at a dead end of the conspiratorial-driven mythos," said Alejandro Rojas, a consultant for Enigma Labs that labels itself as the "#1 destination for UFO sighting alerts."

The newly found credibility of the topic, said Rojas, "has highlighted a blind spot the Pentagon had toward detecting low-tech small craft flying within secured airspace on land and sea."

While concerning, that's a very terrestrial and human problem, Rojas added.

Government conspiracies

"Regarding the anomalous side of the issue, public interest is centered on unsubstantiated claims of government conspiracies regarding aliens and Roswell [New Mexico]. To some, UFO disclosure only means 'tell me what I already know, aliens are here and the government interacts with them.' Opportunists, many of them longtime proponents of alien conspiracies, tell the public what they want to hear sans evidence," said Rojas.

The outcome is that this creates a lot of distrust and foments a hostile attitude towards scientists and those trying to research the topic methodically, Rojas said.

"I think that we will never know what is truly going on until we make a space where we can publicly and transparently engage in and encourage hard data collection from sensor systems and careful scientific analysis of that data," Rojas advised.

Increased transparency and openness

Delving into the topic for 18 years, Robert Powell, executive board member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU) explains that he's confident about one fact. "The UFO/UAP subject is not hindered by our calendar and will continue to move forward well past the year 2025," he said.

In the coming year, Powell spelled out SCU's agenda, promoting three areas:

• Federal and private investments in unclassified UAP science research by academia and the scientific community. Increased collaboration between scientists, researchers, and government agencies could foster a more rigorous and multidisciplinary approach to the study of UAP. This is an approach that we have never taken since the phenomenon began in 1942.
• Development of advanced UAP detection and sensor technologies. Significant sums of money are needed for the development and the deployment of networked sensor arrays.
• Increased transparency and openness in the study of UAP. We must move away from a military-based study of the phenomenon to a science-based study. The former is controlled by secrecy while the latter depends on openness and collaboration.

First contact

"It matters not whether one believes that UAP are controlled by an advanced intelligence," Powell said. "The more exoplanets we discover, the more we know that someday the time will come when we will make first contact with another intelligence."

Powell said there's need to start now to establish clear definitions of near-Earth technosignatures, communication protocols, and the responsible and ethical sharing of knowledge gained from such contact.

"Furthermore, we must consider who should represent humanity in such a momentous event," Powell observed. "Should it be a nation-state's military organization or an entity that speaks for all of humanity? This is a critical question with far-reaching implications for the future of our species," he said.

I'm a UAV pilot and here's what happened when I tried to fly near New Jersey's mystery drones

• READ MORE: Mystery drones 'changed time' on a New Jersey family's car clock 

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

An experienced drone pilot in New Jersey has come forward to demonstrate how advanced the state's mystery drones are compared to ordinary consumer models.

The pilot known to fans of his paranormal investigation series 'Terror Talk' as Michael B, witnessed his own drone crash and burn as he attempted to steer it near one of the many, still-unexplained drone UFOs that have swarmed the state.

'When this started, I tried to take my drone over Picatinny Arsenal to follow a drone that was just hovering over there,' Michael explained, 'and as I got closer my drone lost power, spun out, the battery died and it went down.'

'But the other drone,' he noted, ominously, 'remained sitting in the air, unaffected.'

Picatinny Arsenal, a US Army base that houses military research and manufacturing facilities, has proven to be ground zero for the Garden State's bizarre drone crisis.

Officials at the arsenal, in fact, recently revealed that the aerial incursions above their base began five days earlier than previously reported, with one base police officer making a confirmed sighting on November 13.

What makes these mystery drone flights so concerning, according to Michael B, is that sensitive sites like Picatinny Arsenal and major US airports already have drone jamming technology that prevents commercial drones from entering their airspace.

The 'Terror Talk' host even demonstrated how similar FAA-mandated jamming capabilities prevent models like his own from even taking off near local airports. 

Pentagon officials and US intelligence agencies are 'playing stupid,' he argued — and know more about these strange craft than they are letting on. 

What makes these mystery drone flights (examples above) so concerning, according to this drone pilot, is that sensitive sites like Picatinny Arsenal and major US airports already have drone-jamming technology that prevents commercial drones from entering their airspace 

To demonstrate the government's drone deterrence capabilities, Michael B brought his DJI brand quadcopter to a parking lot near Morristown Municipal Airport, a local flight corridor that has achieved national prominence due to President Trump's use.

President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster gold course has also become a concerning hot spot of the mystery drone sightings over this past month. 

With his camera pointing at his DJI's remote controls, Michael B showed MSNBC host Alex Witt just what the FAA overrides look like on a store-bought drone display.

'We set up in a parking lot about a quarter mile away from the airport,' Michael B explained, 'and I'm trying to get flight clearance to take the drone up and see what this other drone is — and I cannot.' 

'Restricted,' he continued, noting the warning signal on his drone's controls. 

'I tried to bypass it,' he added. 'At one point, it even asked for my phone number and I said, 'Nah. I think we're good at this point.''

Witt asked Michael B: 'What do you think that is? What do you think people are seeing in the sky? And why only at night?'

'At this point, I think that someone knows what they are,' Michael B responded.

The Terror Talk host also noted that he has technology to detect objects in the sky, 'none of these things that we go after are on flight radar.'

The drone pilot - known to fans of his paranormal investigation series 'Terror Talk' as Michael B (pictured) - witnessed his own drone crash and burn as he attempted to steer it near one of the many unexplained drone UFOs that have swarmed NJ. The mystery drone was 'unaffected'

Michael B told MSNBC that he believes the government is keeping the truth about New Jersey's unidentified drones a mystery on purpose.  

The real answers, he said, are likely to be 'secrets that the government don't want us to know [...] either that or aliens.'

'At this point, I think that someone knows what they are,' he told the station.

EXCLUSIVE

• Experts reveal what mystery drones over New Jersey REALLY are... and why Americans should be terrified

'What they could be — I have no idea,' the paranormal investigator admitted, although he emphasized that he was taking it as a personal mission to keep monitoring the state's mystery drones to get answers.

The FBI has fielded over 5,000 complaints in the course of this drone UFO wave, in progress, but noted that only 100 of these cases now warrant further investigation.

The US Department of Homeland Security official has also noted that sightings due to mass concern over the drones has led to many false positives. 

'We're confident that many of the reported drone sightings are, in fact, manned aircraft being misidentified as drones,' DHS officials said.

But the cases above sensitive military bases and US Coast Guard ships off the Jersey shore continue to worry state officials, federal investigators and the US military. 

The FBI and other agencies are investigating the strange activity, but a representative from the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday, Dec. 11: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing'

Officials and residents have also seen truly odd, well-lit drones that do not resemble fixed-wing aircraft (example above) deepening the mystery of the craft's origins and intent 

Picatinny Arsenal told press that sightings of the unidentified drones, capable of beating their counter-drone defenses, has now climbed to 11 confirmed cases.

'While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown,' Picatinny's garrison commander, Lt Col Craig A. Bonham II, said, 'we can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal-related activities.'

Amid the uncertainty, the president-elect called for answers from the US Government as he slammed the Biden administration and urged them to shoot down the UFOs.

But this was rejected by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas who said that the government does not have the authority to neutralize the drones.

• READ MORE: I'm a UAV pilot here's what happened when I tried to fly near drones

By JAMES GORDON FOR DAILYMAIL.COM 

Disturbing video appears to show bizarre flying objects in the sky along the New Jersey coast after a YouTuber set out on a mission by boat to hunt drones. 

CJ Faison usually reports on paranormal activity and haunted houses to his 600,000 followers, but the issue of drones in and around the state captured his attention.

Reports of unidentified drones, with strange patterns and movements, have rattled residents sparking a flurry of questions. 

CJ sailed onto the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Atlantic City determined to see if he would witness any of the drones for himself.

Since mid-November, sightings of mysterious drones have been reported with New Jersey emerging as a hotbed of activity. 

Witnesses describe fleets of drones appearing in grid-like formations, flying with precision, and then dispersing into the night sky 

'Tonight, I'm doing something no YouTuber or news outlet has done,' he announced in a video that has since gone viral. Armed with cameras, equipment, and a chartered boat, he set out into the icy waters off New Jersey, determined to uncover the truth. 

CJ rented the vessel and hit the open water at dusk, just at the time the drones have reportedly been appearing in recent weeks. 

CJ Faison rented a boat to sail out onto the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Atlantic City in a bid to investigate the origin of recent drone sightings that have been spotted in the area

Just as dusk started to fall one by one the drones started to appear in the sky

Accompanied only by the boat's captain, CJ patrolled miles of coastline

The night was bone-chillingly cold with temperatures plunging below freezing. 

Accompanied only by the boat's captain, CJ patrolled miles of coastline. 

The skies were clear as the sun set but as the minutes passed it was not long before a drone was spotted flying nearby. 

Minutes later, one by one more drones materialized, their lights blinking in patterns eerily reminiscent of commercial aircraft, he claimed.

'They're blending in,' CJ observed. 'Hidden in plain sight!' 

Some were seen hovering close by while others appeared to dart back-and-forth. 

He described the drones as moving in deliberate formations, emerging from the ocean before spreading inland. 'It's wild,' he said. 'It's eerie.' 

Despite the dramatic sightings, federal officials insist that many of the reports are likely misidentified planes, helicopters, or even stars. 

But for residents and independent investigators, the explanation feels inadequate.

Much of CJ's footage was blurry with the drones only visibly by their lights

Some drones appeared to be hovering while others could be seen darting back and forth

The lights were lowered on board the vessel as the CJ and the Captain sailed out to sea

The precision and frequency of the sightings suggest something far more organized.

There has been no official explanation from authorities as to what the drones are, who they belong to or what their purpose may be. 

President Joe Biden has downplayed the incidents, stating there's no evidence of anything 'nefarious.' However, his reassurances haven't quelled the growing unease. 

President-elect Donald Trump has been more vocal, accusing the government of withholding information. 'Let the public know,' he posted on Truth Social. 'Otherwise, shoot them down!' 

At one point over the last month, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) even responded by temporarily banning drone flights in dozens of zones across New Jersey and New York. 

Federal agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, have launched investigations, but officials maintain there is no evidence of a national security threat. 

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has called for stricter rules on drone use and greater transparency from federal authorities. 

CJ pondered the meaning behind the drones and where they had been coming from 

Looking back towards Atlantic City three drones could be seen hovering over the skyline

CJ braved freezing temperatures in an attempt to capture evidence of the drones off the coast 

Multiple sightings have caused alarm among many communities along the East Coast with amateur sleuths now turning their binoculars and cameras to the night sky in order to capture their presence on film as evidence. 

In the comments of his 30 minute clip posted to YouTube, some viewers criticized CJ for the footage which failed to give a clear view of the drones he was talking about, beyond the bright lights. He insists they were not regular commercial or military aircraft. 

As darkness fells, CJ could be seen in the cabin of the boat pondering what the significance of the drones might be and where they are coming from. 

'This is just the beginning,' he said. 

Only weeks earlier one New Jersey Sheriff's Deputy had reported seeing 50 drones coming in off the ocean. 

The Coast Guard, too, has encountered these drones. One chilling account described 13 drones swarming their boat, some flying as low as 300 feet above the water.

CJ analyzed flight radar in order to check what aircraft was flying in the area

CJ resolves to go out back out to see this time armed with a better camera

Swarms of drones have been spotted in the skies of New Jersey for weeks, sparking officials to call for a 'limited state of emergency' 

The sightings started mid-November with footage capturing 'car-sized' drones with flashing lights 

A wave of footage has emerged of the drones since they were first spotted last month

'Their wingspans were about eight feet,' an officer reported, only adding to the growing sense of unease. 

Later in the clip, several more drones are spotted hovering above the Atlantic City skyline. 

Despite capturing more than a dozen drones on video during his expedition, he believes he arrived too late to witness the full scale of activity and is now planning an overnight trip further offshore, into international waters, to uncover more.

CJ concludes that the mystery for now will remain unresolved but he has promised to return to the open ocean better equipped next time with a more powerful camera in the hopes of gathering more data. 

'I have so many questions,' he said. 'What's launching these drones? How are they staying airborne for hours? What's their energy source? And why here? Why New Jersey?'

Bright orange 'UFO orbs' were allegedly caught flying over New York City,' raising concern among residents of the Big Apple over the holiday week.

On Friday, Reddit user @YogurtclosetFlat5701 posted the video to the 'The UFOs Subreddit' - a forum for UFO discussions where people can talk about sightings, experiences, news and investigations.

The local recorded the video above Brookville Blvd in Queens, New York, right next to JFK airport. 

'We looked up and there were 4 orange orbs in formation in what is suppose to be a no fly zone they then started to disappear,' the user wrote.

In the video, four unblinking orange orbs are suspended in the air, forming a striking boomerang shape. 

A video was taken from inside the user's car and another from outside the user's car.

'They were moving oddly like not completely stationary and then started to disappear one by one. The 2nd to last one drifted slighting then disappeared. They maintained that formation for the duration of the sighting,' the user said.

Users local to the New York City area confirmed the traveler's sightings. One, who goes by the username @ZoraOctavia, said they have lived by the airport for over a decade and know the difference between a plane and a UFO.

'Lived here 14 years with planes flying by all day everyday. They fly so low it feels like you can almost touch them. I know what they look like when they come in to land and take off. I have never ever seen anything like this. Ever,' the user said.

• Former defense official says government is hiding UFO secrets from Americans 

Other users deemed the occurrence as highly suspicious, and was shocked the government wasn't taking immediate action.

'Seeing as that's a no fly zone, the FAA should be all over that,' said a user.

'This is truly not okay. Can we please start demanding the government gives more a fuck about this?' chimed a third.

Recent reports of strange orbs in the skies above the eastern United States have added another layer of mystery to the ongoing drone sightings across the country. 

A father and son in Georgia experienced an unusual encounter on Thursday evening when they spotted a bright orange 'UFO orb' moving across the night sky.

While taking out the trash, the father noticed the glowing object and pointed it out to his son.

Intrigued, they watched the orb for several minutes before deciding to film it. 

The father then shared the video on the 'UFO Reddit' forum, seeking explanations for the mysterious phenomenon.

The 58-second video shows the orange orb gliding through the sky, occasionally moving upwards or downwards. 

As the father followed it, the orb appeared to dim and eventually vanish, leaving him and his son puzzled about its nature.

The father described the initial sighting as a 'huge' light in the distance, which seemed to dim as it approached. He speculated that the orb might have been trying to evade him, or it could have simply disappeared behind clouds.

The video has since garnered significant attention on Reddit, with over 2,000 shares and 500 comments from users discussing the unusual sighting.

Just days prior, a perplexing light was captured hovering over New Jersey skies. 

A father and son in Georgia followed a mysterious 'orange UFO orb' after they spotted the luminous hue gliding through the sky shortly after 6:30pm on Thursday evening

Earlier this week, another perplexing light was captured hovering over the skies of New Jersey

Video footage from near Atlantic City shows a white light blinking before suddenly accelerating away at incredible speeds, leaving observers stunned.

These recent events follow a report from a US military witness who experienced a close encounter with a silent, luminous object while camping in October. 

The witness described the object as hovering 100 yards above, illuminating the area brighter than any full moon.

These sightings, along with others reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), continue to fuel public interest and speculation about the nature of these unidentified aerial phenomena.
