So, the recent episode of mystery drones flying over New Jersey is nothing, well, new; it’s just another page from the long and storied history of the UFO saga in this country, and it all goes back to the Pentagon.

It’s a story that begins with those flying saucers over Washington, D.C., in 1952, and includes that huge triangular thing over the Hudson Valley in the 1980s, the Phoenix lights in 1997 and various and sundry other UFO flaps over the decades.

As crazy as it sounds, all of these episodes have just been the Pentagon flying its top-secret toys … testing, training, psyops, sending not-so-veiled messages to the public and to our adversaries alike.

It was never E.T.

Sorry, Steven Spielberg, but it just wasn’t.

Anyway, here’s a story in northjersey.com that captures some of the frustrations of local officials, in bold print and quotes. (https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/2024/12/08/officials-demand-action-on-drone-sightings/76851064007/)

” ‘A group of Morris County mayors and other local elected officials are demanding answers and action by authorities concerning the multiple sightings of drones in North Jersey in recent weeks.

‘We look at it this way,” they wrote. “Either higher level officials know what’s going on and are not concerned or they are negligent for not apprehending and identifying one of these drones.

‘We strongly request a proactive approach be taken on the half of the residents of New Jersey and Morris County,’ they wrote. ‘These drones have to land at some point somewhere and these offices need to follow them and identify where they are going and who owns them and is operating them.’

Residents ‘pay a fortune for government,’ they wrote, and ‘right now either our government is keeping us in the dark or they are failing to act on taxpayers concerns over these unidentified drones.’ “

To this, I say, the government has been keeping us all in the dark for many decades.
