Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This has been happening for a solid five years now. When I used to work the night shift I'd go out for a smoke and see one of these things pretty far up in the sky almost every day. Not sure what the sudden concern is about.

Northern New Jersey is just a seemingly endless suburban sprawl, and one of the most affluent regions in the country. There are a lot of labor aristocrats with back yards and disposable income to spend on toys like this. I assume if they were being used as part of some clandestine operations, they wouldn't have bright fucking red and green navigation lights on them.

If anything, these things are part of some federal program, not some foreign intelligence operation.

psyop testing the waters for constant drone surveillance over the US.

if anyone can find any video footage of these I'd be interested because all I can find is indistinguishable from a normal-ass plane.
