The mystery of drones in New Jersey revealed: they are not UFOs, it was enough to first raise your eyes to the sky

In recent days, social media has been filled with thousands of videos of unidentified lights crossing the skies of New Jersey. In the end the explanation was very simple: it was not a question of UFOs (more correct UAVs) but of objects that can be easily spotted in our skies. The problem is just that perhaps they have become a little too many.

Something happened in the last few days very strange in the United States. And not in the heavens, but among the smartphones used to spread the news of thedrone invasion in New Jersey. If you try to look on social media citing simple search keys such as drones+new jersey you will find yourself faced with thousands of contents full of lights moving in the sky and explanation videos uploaded by self-proclaimed experts.

There were many questions. At a certain point he even intervened Donald Trump proposing decidedly drastic solutions. In the end the reports, often branded as simple psychosis, were taken seriously, so much so that he even intervened John Kirbythe spokesperson of the National Security Council. The response of the authorities after the analysis of over 5,000 reports it was bordering on despondency: it’s nothing irregular.

Where did the drones spotted in New Jersey come from?

No aliens. No invasion. But neither no spy campaign departed from an Iranian mother ship. Simply the lights spotted in the New Jersey skies they had always been there. According to Kirby of approx 5,000 UFO reports (more correct UAV), unidentified flying objects, in the end only 100 were needed further investigations to understand their origin. Most were airplane lights in take-off or landing phaselights from regularly registered drones, satellites or other celestial bodies.

No Iranian “mothership” is launching drones over the US, but the mystery remains: countermeasures requested

The New York Times reports: “We estimate that sightings to date include a combination of legal commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, helicopters and even stars that have been mistakenly reported as drones ”. Not only that. As we have seen, these reports were often added images created in computer graphics or videos posted out of context.

And everything else? Suggestions. Piscosi. Media conditioning. You hear about something and you think you see it. At the moment this seems to be the most credible hypothesis or at least the closest to reality. He also writes it Mick Westwriter expert on conspiracy theories. Again to the New York Times: “You see something in the sky, you’ve heard stories about it being drones, so you think maybe it’s a drone.”

What are the New Jersey lights

There are therefore two points. On one side the skies of the United States they are filling with lights. Drones are indeed among the objects sighted but they are regular and registered objects. On the other hand, since this story began, people are looking more towards the sky, a sky that they are not always able to decipher. We leave you below one of the many videos with millions of views from which the news was born.
