    Dozens More Mystery Drone Incursions Over U.S. Nuclear Power Plants Revealed

    David Hambling, September 7, 2020

    "I recently described how a swarm of drones flew in a restricted area at #PaloVerdeNuclearPowerPlant on two successive nights last September. A new cache of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (#FoIA) reveals how 24 nuclear sites suffered at least 57 drone incursions from 2015 to 2019 – and Palo Verde itself was overflown again in December, despite new security measures.

    "The documents were obtained from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission by Douglas D. Johnson on behalf of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU). The SCU’s main interest is in anomalous aerospace phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs, but Johnson uncovered a series of incidents involving something less exotic but potentially more threatening: commercial drones.

    "In the September incidents, a swarm of five or six large drones flew over the Unit 3 nuclear reactor at Palo Verde in Arizona for about eighty minutes, a length of time which suggested they were carrying out a thorough survey of the site. The documents released at the time referred to a similar incident at #LimerickNuclearGeneratingStation in #Pennsylvania.

    "Johnson sent a follow-up request to get more details. The response was a terse list of fifty-seven security incidents (#SIDs) involving drones, running from December 2014 to October 2019. This provides little more than the date and location, with no details of the number or type of drones involved. We do not know how many involved multiple, simultaneous drone flyovers. At the time the list was generated, three of the incidents were listed as ‘Open’ and five ‘Closed Resolved.’ but the overwhelming majority, 49 of them, were ‘Closed Unresolved.’ This indicates that for 85% of the cases the #NRC has no idea who the perpetrators are or what they intended, and has given up on finding them."

  3. Drones Over Doylestown!!!!

    There have been reports of drones over New Jersey quite a bit lately. The NJ governor has declared a limited state of emergency grounding drones and the FBI is involved. The military says it’s not them. And a congress-critter is saying they’re from Iran. 😵‍💫

    It’s been all over the news and my tech podcasts as well.

    Now they’re over Doylestown, PA. Granted we’re not too far from New Jersey, about 30 minute drive on US 202 North. What’s interesting is that we have an airport and these drones seem to like airports and military installations. Curious much?

    I didn’t get video of them last night, but the sound of the jets (yes, JETS!) were quite loud. It was around 9pm or 10pm and I thought it was a local car dealer CEO’s private jet at the airport. This morning my wife was looking at the local Facebook group for our community and people got video of a cluster of drones and they were behaving the same way the have been in the media reports.

    These buggers have jets and probably are fixed wing not the rotor-copter ones that you get at Best Buy. But I can’t confirm because I didn’t see them.

    I’ll go outside next time for a look.

    This is getting creepy.

    NEW: Pentagon says there’s no evidence drones reportedly seen over New Jersey are coming from a foreign entity. “There’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States,” spokeswoman says.— BNO News (@bnonews.com) December 11, 2024 at 2:32 PM

  4. It's absolutely wild to me that the #MysteryDrones story is still building, now with a hearing in the US Congress in which *nobody* admits to knowing what the hell is going on. Notable that they aren't even trying to claim it's just misreporting of normal stuff. And still, so little coverage.

    The longer this goes on, the weirder the information vacuum is, and tbh it was weird on day one.
