#njdrones — Public Fediverse posts

Excluding #3iAtlas there are multiple #comets in our solar system right now, with 6 more incoming,...right on the anniversary of the #njdrones

...add 3iAtlas and the numbers get into crazy range.

So, the Trump administration said the drones over #NewJersey were "authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration for 'research and various other reasons.'”

Oh.

Would love to know whatever the heck this is flying in formation over NJ last night. #njdrones #drones

"Not All Bright Lights Over New Jersey Are Drones, Here’s How You Can Rule Out Planes, Planets, and Satellites" by Shore News Network - Besides learning how to recognize airplanes in the night sky, some apps can tell you which flight you're looking at. Also some mistaken drone hysteria reports could have been avoided by looking up basic #astronomy info. https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2024/12/22/not-all-bright-lights-over-new-jersey-are-drones-heres-how-you-can-rule-out-planes-planets-and-satelites/ #NYdrones #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

"FAA banning drone flights over New Jersey, New York sites" by Reuters - Specific sites covered by FAA 30-day Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) are critical infrastructure, just as a precaution. Officially this is a response to public concern, not due to any specific threat. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/faa-banning-drone-flights-over-critical-infrastructure-locations-new-jersey-2024-12-19/ #NYdrones #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

26 more Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) issued by US Federal Aviation Administration FAA in New York state prohibiting #drone/#sUAS flights within 1 nautical mile radius up to 400ft at specific locations. sources: FAA https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html and SkyVector https://skyvector.com/?ll=40.566676502243915,-74.23498534498455&chart=301&zoom=6 #NYdrones #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

Looks like the drones have the night off.

"US temporarily bans drones in parts of NJ, may use “deadly force” against aircraft" by @arstechnica - At the time of the article 22 TFRs prohibiting drone flights in specific 1-nautical mile areas across NJ were issued. Since then another one, so far. FAA says use of deadly force is authorized to shoot down drones in those areas deemed to be a threat. (Note discharge of firearms in an urban area may hit uninvolved people.) https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/12/us-temporarily-bans-drones-in-parts-of-nj-may-use-deadly-force-against-aircraft/ #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

Here's the link for the SkyVector[.]com map above (copied here) which plots active and upcoming Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) https://skyvector.com/?ll=40.19509962783857,-74.88830565752579&chart=301&zoom=6 #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

The #drone Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in New Jersey all have text prohibiting most sUAS (small uncrewed aircraft systms) flights inside the TFR boundaries with exceptions for national defense, law enforcement, emergency responders, commercial flights already approved by FAA, flights covered under an FAA waiver for government operations. A separate "SGI waiver" is also required for flight in these TFRs. https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

US🇺🇸 Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued 23 (and counting) Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in New Jersey prohibiting #drones within the TFR boundaries effective through January 17. All are 1 nautical mile in diameter. Most are effective from the surface to 400ft above ground level (AGL) where other restrictions on drones protect aircraft in the National Airspace System, except for the newest one from surface to 1000ft. #NJdrones #JerseyDrones #aviation #pilot #avgeek

All the pictures in #NJdrones / #JerseyDrones hysteria which show "things" with anti-collision lights🔴🟢 should be interpreted as aircraft or drones which are not trying to hide. City-dwellers panicking about planets and stars in the night sky should be ignored/blocked without further thought. Hypothetical clandestine operations, whether foreign or criminal, would not have lights at all, but are still visible by infrared & radar. 🤔 #aviation #pilot #avgeek

Ah cool, this drone hysteria is going to down a plane now......when you have a Government nobody trusts and media which prefers entertaining lies to real stories the silliness will kill people.

This is the world the Oligarchs prefer, of conspiracy theories and men making rash actions that harm everyone, 'freedom' they call it.

"Why is every picture of the New Jersey drones so bad?" by @verge - Phone camera photos at night are inevitably blurry because they're the wrong tool for that job. But they're the tool everyone has. Unrecognizable flying objects are mostly airplanes, some planets & stars. Some real drones, possibly more than before searching for answers to the hysteria. Non-avgeeks learning there's stuff to see in the sky. https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/18/24324347/new-jersey-drones-photos-phone-camera #JerseyDrones #NJdrones #drone #aviation #pilot #avgeek #WTF

This story by @jasonkoebler
is the best thing I’ve read about the #njdrones story. It follows a similar pattern to events in Colorado in 2019/2020. In short this is what mass hysteria looks like.

In the further battle between "alien invasion" and "nothing to see here" [sorry, X link/video, but the text says it all.]

"NJ Sheriff shoots down the "mass hysteria" narrative. State police, county and local law enforcement, trained personnel from 2 military installations are calling it what it is: Highly sophisticated, very large objects that avoid detection and move at rapid speeds."

Wondering what's going on over the skies of New Jersey?

Wonder no more. WFQ has the answer.

Re New Jersey Drones
Apparently, tis the season to seed and spray herbicide! In California too

Someone posted this 👇🏼
Yesterday I spotted this giant drone from my backyard seeding wild flowers.

Every giant drone is not an X File, calm down folks.

#NJDrones

LOLing at all the New Jersey “OMG DROOONES!!!” videos.

Kids, if it’s got red and green lights on opposite sides, and a bunch of flashing strobes, it’s registered with the FAA. It’s probably an airliner that’s a lot farther away than you think it is. 😆 #njdrones

Finally captured one of the drones on camera! #njdrones

What in the world is happening with UAPs appearing over New Jersey? It's been weeks of sightings, without any explanation from authorities.

They say there is no threat, but how do they know that?
