Finally, the media are figuring out that the mystery drones over New Jersey are probably top-secret Pentagon technology, being tested out before it is certified ready for the battlefield.

It’s about time!

Here is a link to the excellent N.Y. Post article: (https://nypost.com/2024/12/11/us-news/security-experts-share-startling-theory-about-nj-drones/)

Here are the most relevant bits, bolded and in quotes:

“ ‘My first guess is these are potentially government programs kept within what’s known as a ‘Special Access Program,’ which is purposely put together to keep even the most cleared people out — it truly is to keep it secret,” said Clint Emerson, a retired Navy SEAL and owner of security company Escape the Wolf.

‘That’s why the government’s like, ‘We don’t know.’ They’re being truthful,’ he said, adding that the circle could be as small as a dozen officials. ‘They don’t even know the program exists.’

Emerson said it’s impossible to know what the drones might be doing — but he suspects the secret is the technology they’re carrying, not the devices themselves.

‘It could be different types of collection capabilities — so, different types of cameras, like high-definition, infrared or thermal,’ he said.

A second payload, for instance, could be hardware that grabs all the cellphone data in a given environment.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has said the drones over his state don’t seem to pose any threat — and experts say it could be the US government testing new tech.

‘How much data can we collect with this? Let’s say we got 10 drones, they fly in a grid, how much cellphone traffic can we pick up? Not actual conversations. But just the signature of millions of cellphones. What can 10 drones pick up going over an area?’

‘That’s a legitimate test,’ he said. ‘They’re not invading your privacy. That’s legitimate data. And that’s a f–king capability.’

And what better place to do that than New Jersey, the country’s most densely populated state.

‘That would be my number one guess: It’s a very closely held program, and they’re doing what they need to do to ensure their technology actually works,’ said Emerson.

‘The beauty of a [special access program] is they’re kinda in their own lawless little world,’ Emerson said. ‘They can go do whatever they want, and they don’t have to tell anybody.’

Kelly McCann, a security expert and former Marine special missions officer who worked for the Office of Naval Research, echoed Emerson’s comments and said he thinks the government is testing out some ‘operational capacity.’ ”

So, applying this line of reasoning to the historical record of UFO sightings and encounters going all the way back to 1952 in the United States, this means virtually all of those episodes were the Pentagon testing, demonstrating, training in the use of top-secret programs.

Everything from those saucers over Washington, D.C., while Harry Truman was president, to those UFOs that disabled nuclear missile launch systems in the 1960s, the giant triangle over the Hudson Valley in the 1980s, the Phoenix Lights in 1997, the other giant triangle witnessed by police officers over rural Illinois in 2000, the Tic Tac in 2004, the flying disc over Chicago O’Hare in 2006, etc., etc. …

It was never E.T.

It was always the Pentagon.

Anyway, thank you New York Post for finally publishing the obvious!
