Fuckin Kirby speewing some world salad. Is this guy for real ? Make your fuckin mind up!
:rolleyes:🤔
John Kirby claimed Thursday that many of the purported drone sightings spotted over New Jersey for the past several weeks are actually lawfully operated manned aircraft.

"We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they're working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin."





ep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said a Coast Guard commanding officer told him a dozen drones closely followed a Coast Guard lifeboat near Barnegat Light and Island Beach State Park in Ocean County over the weekend.

During a congressional hearing on the matter, FBI Assistant Director Robert Wheeler testified that the bureau does not know who is responsible for the drones spotted over New Jersey in recent weeks, the Asbury Park Press reported. Smitth said he was told by officials at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst that they don't have permission from the Department of Defense to shoot down the unknown aircraft trailing their boats and retrieve them for analysis.

There's a bunch being spotted over Temecula and Murrieta.

Come to think of it now, I'm relatively sure I saw one (or something like) ((maybe two)) last week in Riverside probably in the 7:00 o'clock (PM) hour...One on the west end (by La Sierra area) and something seemingly similar light wise towards the east end/further downtown vs the area I was in then.

🤔, Russia threatens US with 'nuclear war by Christmas' in chilling WW3 warning,​

While threats are always there, it doesn't necessarily have to be Russia coming.

I don't buy it tbh. Norad/nasa/space force track space debris.. You're telling me between all of these military bases in a 100 mile radius of the IE, that they wouldn't pick up on this stuff.

Then again we have illegals boating right onto shore and its fine. IDK

"They" most likely know who and what they are. "They" don't want us to know and don't think it is any of "our" business.

Some kids probably jail broke them to be un-traceable and are flying them to watch if it makes the news.

“They” know who’s equipment it is, just as much as “I” know who’s truck is in my driveway. It’s like asking a child with crumbs on his fingers who ate all the cookies. The question is not “who’s”, the question is why.

Nothing to see here, look at these evil guns from the latest shooting.

BTW this is pretty par for the course. Air force and government did the same thing during atomic tests and when their top secret planes crashed in the desert occasionally.

They just brush it off with some B.S. story and most importantly talk as little about it as possible to downplay the importance. As long as the government is acting "normal" that's a good sign I guess right now lol
So when the two Have Blue prototypes of the F-117A crashed in 1978 and 1979 at night, the Air Force should have called NBC and CBS to let them know it was a secret stealth technology demonstrator? Same with the A-12 Oxcart (SR-71 predecessor) crash in 1963?

The Crossroads atomic tests in 1946 were announced to the world by over 100 domestic and international reporters. They were just months after the bombs were dropped on Japan. While the Manhattan Project was the most closely guarded secret of WWII, the government invited the press to write stories about the tests. There wasn't any suppression of the events.

The first thermonuclear test, the Ivy Mike shot in 1954, was similarly attended by a large media contingent, even though it was the first time the thermonuclear hydrogen fusion bomb was tested by any nation. Again, this was at the height of the Cold War, and by 1949 the USSR had already infiltrated the Manhattan Project and had built and detonated a copy of the Fat Man plutonium implosion device used at Nagasaki.

The atomic tests in Nevada were always announced beforehand. There were instances where fallout drifted downwind. There have been years of claims by those exposed, and there were initial denials by the government any harm occurred. Eventually those exposed were compensated for supposed injuries. While cancer rates among the "downwinders" appear to be higher than unaffected populations, there has been no definitive link between the tests, the release of ionizing radiation, and cancers caused by that radiation.

Overall the security and denials around the Nevada Test Site and the Pacific atolls where testing took place were requirements of postwar secrecy with regards to the Soviet Union. The government didn't call the NY Times and fully disclose information every week; there was ample evidence the Soviets intended to pursue the development of a nuclear and thermonuclear weapons programs and that its target was the United States. Secrecy was in the national interest. Can that be criticized? Sure. But 75 years ago a war that killed 50 million people worldwide had just concluded. Things were different.

Shooting at them sounds really cool.

But, generally speaking, shooting at an unidentified target, in the sky, is a really really bad idea.
I have yet to see an actual picture of an actual drone.
(Maybe I missed it?)

Because what I’ve seen on tv is lights that appear to be drones, in some cases.
Some of the videos actually have fixed wing FAA nav lights.

A DJI Mavic or Phantom hovering over your sidewalk is one thing, unidentified lights that appear to be large enough to be a manned craft flying around is quite another.

Yup, the public didn't need to know the details, Air Force played it cool back then. They're playing it cool now too in a similar way. I think we're on the same page here.

Now if some Air Force general came on the news and said "hey guys we're fucked, everybody stay in their homes for 3 days" then I'd be worried LOL

This picture taken Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024. looks more like a helicopter could be a drone above it.
Article says, An Army spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Picatinny Arsenal had requested and received a temporary flight restriction until Dec. 26 for its airspace as a result of the abundance of reported drone sightings in the area.
So it should be over for boxing day shoppers, haha

Yup
That’s a helicopter.

Above it is the Death Star mothership.

Try this - Find someone who considers themselves well informed. Ask them 2 questions, back to back. “Who is DJT’s nominee for Sec of State? Then, Have you heard about the drone sightings?

Care to guess which question they’ll answer first? I’ll go further, I’m willing to bet less than half could even name the Sec of State nominee, without looking it up . . . . . The U.S. news media, all of them, knows how to sell their product. And there’s an overly abundant amount of buyers for their, sometimes/often untrue, product

Once they get some quality Audio from one of these drones . . . . . .Get ready to hear a joyful, HO ho ho! And To All, A Very Merry Christmas! Best not let your little ones see or hear the, full of doom, news reports. Would some want to spoil Christmas? Sure appears so.

i’m old enough to well recall, getting up early with my parents, turning on KTLA Ch5 in LA, and watching nuclear tests from Las Vegas. The broadcast included video from cameras staged at the blast site showing the blast devastation on previously positioned structures and artificial humans. Much a total meltdown. But, that’s what nuclear weapons do. Prior to those televised blasts, what information was provided to other nations? It all didn’t seem very secret. I truly believe many of the technologies of our national defense should remain secret. IMO - Need to Know does NOT pertain to the US news media and other countries.

Bongino made a great point about these drones, it's more than likely US drones and they are looking for something. Who knows which agency they are controlled by and that would explain why they are not downed, and the swamp isn't in the loop. If it's a foreign entity, shoot them down, sink the mother ship and ask questions later in my view.

I think one of the alphabet agency's is scouting out how to off Trump and blame Iran, just my .02$

Last time they told us all to look, look up in the sky, it's a, it's a BALLOON! It's, it's from CHINA! Follow it, don't stop looking. Meantime Hilary was on trial, but nobody knew, a train derailed that contaminated an entire section of a state & nearby states, but who really knew, so I ask you...what is going on in the world that they do not want us to pay attention to? Hmmmm

Just askin.

The Smyth Report was released shortly after the atomic bombings of Japan.

I don't think it's coincidence that whatever these things are . . . they're nowhere to be seen in areas where 'Inbred Jed' lives with his tricked out rifle sporting $20K in optics.
Some of the real beauties I knew of up in Alaska would be frothing at the chance to down one of those. 😆
RACIST!!!!
