Originally published at: WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ALL THOSE DRONES? PART ONE
This will be our last week of blogs before our Christmas vacation; we will be back On January 13th. However, in some weird way I suppose it is appropriate to lead off this week’s blogs with the story that seems to be preoccupying everyone’s attention: the drones flying all over New Jersey, and now, elsewhere…

… surely we have a couple of well maintained German 88s sitting around 
… We brought over everything else …
The gun’s high velocity and rapid firing rate allowed synchronized German batteries of four to accurately hurl large 17-pound shells up to an altitude of 48,200 ft. When an 88mm shell exploded at altitude it sent out 1,500 jagged metal fragments that would shred any aircraft.
Or, we could send up an attack helicopter or two with Vulcan (think Gattling Guns on Steroids) M191 or M197s (or their up to the minute inproved models).
Pretty sure these would take care of a “swarm” of drones.
… and as to the “exotic technology” thing
… But we should recall, if this is in fact true, that they “brought it down” instead of this being an incredible avoidance of all that pesky technology transfer “red tape” …
Downed US drone: How Iran caught the ‘beast’
Iran’s apparent capture of a largely intact RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone, which was reportedly monitoring Iran’s nuclear program, is a significant loss for the US.
But on the bright side … from the looks of the “skull star” flag it appears, at least as of 2011, that Iran had a “FastSigns” franchise. But come now, there is no self destruct device in these things? Where’s “Q” when you need him? Hmmmmmm.

A couple of things.
New Jersey is where the famous War of the World’s broadcast occurred in 1938, an event that’s suspected of being a psy-op.
Monmouth County has several military bases including Earl Naval Weapons Station wich has nukes.
Finally, if they were of nefarious origin, why would they have running lights?

… let us keep adding a few things up:
… from our earlier “confrontations” with the so-called “Chinese Balloons” …
… for the time being let us stay with the situation as presented …
… You, the MIC, say you can not defend against or bring down battery driven toys (about which it is claimed we know everything) referred to collectively as “drones”.
… You, the MIC, say, via the mouthpiece of Lou Elizondo et al., you can (with adequate funding) defend us against an unknown (about which you claim we know practically nothing) referred to collectively as “UFOs” … ok, ok, “UAPs” whatever …
There appears to be a growing collection of logical problems (of the incompatibilty type) here …

… … so a few “drones” required the movement of F-22s? … Hmmmm … the state of our flak must be sad indeed if unable to drop a few “drones” … or for that matter a balloon. This seems absurd.

My HOS of the day or rather situation with the drones, is in a line of Gen. Milley words during covid times, when he emphasized strange message “you are not getting in”
Looks at least according to this guy in a X post that Biden did let in a “fire cracker” of some sort, and drones are trying to locate them.

I like your idea about the 88’s just for fun. I have an idea that shooting at them would bring down the goobermint drones put up for the disinfo show. However, I also have the idea that there is an actor in this, a little more advanced than anything anybody on earth could put up. I have studied a little bit about how the flack batteries work and I think we would waste a lot of ammo. It sure would be fun though. I am waiting for part 2 from the good Doctor to see if the high octane speculation goes along close to with I am thinking. If you need help manning a flack battery let me know, I could use some fun.
And Russia is getting more keen on drones.
Are drones in the air; in more ways than imagined?
I like how this has been posted as a sort of implied Christmas extra credit assignment from the professor in Dr. JPF. I want to start calling you the Dr. J. of ancient knowledge speculation, but i digress. This is one of those assignments i used to dread in college over the Christmas break, the undeclared assignment to write some thoughts on the professor’s ramblings and turn it in once back from break and on to part 2 of the lecture series in the spring semester. In this case however and at my age in my advance awakenedness, I’m going to thoroughly enjoy this undeclared Christmas break assignment.
I’m going to tackle this in 2 parts: part one will be the mundane and perfectly logical explanation in my opinion; part 2 will be of the wild speculative kind, allowing my thoughts to go down the proverbial rabbit hole, like Alice.
Part one:
As far as the drone shutting down the runway in NYC, this has been solved, three guys from a near-by island, flying a private drone, not very large, at least as big as the ones near AC, NJ. Two guys have been captured and at the time of my writing one is on the loose. IMO (in my opinion), these are your typical instigators. You know the type of person, they are the voice in the ear of the two other guys about to come to blows. Talking trash, did you hear what they said about your mama and what not. They probably are mafia underlings, maybe being used by the intelligence community, no proof just saying. Perhaps, this is a test to see how effective the programing has thus been. I.E. how fearful everyone has become, including civilian response agencies.
The drone that crashed near hillsboro township nj, the story needs more details. Here is a local FM station reporting of it. Drone crash reported in Hillsborough - what did search find? My, initial reaction, just kids flying a drone at night. More probing for how well the fear campaign is setting in? Duck and cover drills anyone?
The Sheriff’s story seems really wishy washy. They launched an “industrial grade” drone into the air to chase it. Who’s flying it? What kind of technical spec’s are on this “industrial grade” drone? If it’s night time and the 13 8ft wingspan drones are capable of moving at hundreds of MPH, of which the article doesn’t mention speed other than following a boat, then yeah if it takes them a minute to wake the drone pilot and get the thing launched into the air from the station i assume? They are going to miss it completely, that’s perfectly logical. The Coast Guard i assume equals “the maritime agency” in the article, “reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat.” First off this coast guard boat being followed had zero cameras on it, no thermal sights and no radar? Secondly, who made the sighting? The Captain or Jimmy standing at the back smoking a cigarette on a break? Unfortunately, we are relying on the human element here, to whit i say, i heard from bill that he saw mark walk on water yesterday!
Onto, the AC drone swarm, and them coming out of the sea!? To say, " for if they are coming [“from the direction of the ocean”] then that implies an ocean-going launch platform - a ship - from which to be launched and controlled," is not necessarily true and I’m going to differ with you here a bit. Depending on fuel availability/storage on the drone itself, these 50 could have each been launched from separate ground based airports, military or civilian, and then flown without lights out into the sea maybe 20 miles out just over the horizon, however far that is depending on altitude, into a designated holding zone. Where they held for however long it took for all of them to gather then turned around and flown, in formation, with their “Disco” lights on over AC. Only giving them the appearance of coming from a Sea based platform.
If we are going to move forward with construction drones in the commercial airspace above cities and the rest of the country we are going to need the civilian regulation/manuals/guidebooks on how to deal with them from an air traffic controller point of view. The first story, we see even a private small drone can shut down an airport because the ATC guys in the tower don’t have regs to deal with them, or can’t communicate directly with the operators to tell them to get out of the area, so they are forced to shut the airport down, until the drone can be dealt with. I don’t have the link right off, but if memory serves me still, there was a couple of weeks a few summers back where there was a drone flying around the Los Angeles airport causing havoc with their ATC guys. I believe they also had to shut down the airport and divert planes elsewhere.
There are 2 specific agencies in the US that deal with the airspace. One is military and based out of colorado springs CO. It’s abbreviated NORAD, and here is the official link. https://www.norad.mil/ These guys were probably the first ones to develop the regs for drones in operation over US airspace, but their drones aren’t going to be flying at 1000 ft altitude. No no, they are up in the 10k’s ft altitude. Having no pilot, you can put those drones as high as you want, depending on the camera package or weapons systems installed on board. 100k ft, yep you bet no problem, would you as a civilian ever see or hear those i ask? Never, you’d have zero clue they were and are currently flying over head right this very second, at the time of my writing and whatever time your reading this! This is fact. That is the realm of the reconnaissance drone! Construction drones however are a whole different ballgame altogether. They are going to be flying in and around building in highly populated cities doing all sorts of mundane task, like delivery for instance! Multiple levels of flight corridors are in need of being created, remember three dimensional, height is allocated in airspace. As an ATC operator your going to need to be able to track every single one of those from the tiny one delivery doughnuts to Chris Christy, to the one lifting the pallet of 2 ton steel I beams at the construction sight on 3rd and Walbash, they are getting rid of the hard line into the Matrix! Anyway, the military arm is not going to need to be involved on that side of the house, at least until there is a problem. So naturally it’s going to fall onto the Civilian side of the house and that, my friends of which I’m sure your all aware, is the FAA, or https://www.faa.gov/ their official page.
Whether we like it and agree with it or not, commercially work style drones are coming and as such we are going to need to be able to integrate them into the civilian airspace. The place where the FAA test anything technical or regulatory, is done here, both https://www.faa.gov/data_research and https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies pages i am assuming, 99% of that data comes from https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ang/offices/tc which is located here Google Maps
Notice the proximity to Atlantic City, this is Ocean County NJ by the way. So they gather up the 50 drones and the bring them on shore to see at which distance they can identify the individual drones in the mass swarm. We have to remember our civilian radar is currently configured to find civilian size aircraft down to Cessna 150 size aircraft, things smaller than that, need to be tested for and experimented with to find the best phased array system to begin to decipher the individual small drone out the large pack. So, you build a phased array radar system you place is somewhere and you bring a swarm of drones to test it, you tweak it, reset the test and do it again. Depending on the outcome of the test it might take several weeks to get it fully tweaked. Perfectly legitimate reason for a 50 size drone swarm coming on shore with their lights a blinking and everything.
Posting this and moving on to part two in the future, the wild speculation side of the brain! I’ll give a hint it has to do with a multiple level operation like Dr. JFP talks about with the 3 phase 9/11 operation.

I would also like to add to my Part One assessment. With this announcement last year, Technical Difficulties, Technical Difficulties, In case you missed it: America just effectively got much bigger - Big Think we effectively have more area of sea to cover. So the Radar tweaks are for seeing smaller, less metal objects, further out.
P.S. not sure why the “tech difficulty” in the links, but they go to the State Department official announcements.
Nedreck: The issue with the ‘they’re testing’ postulation is that the USG has multiple flying test ranges sprinkled around the nation. They would be testing there, not over civilian airspace. Some excellent speculations though.

Ahhh… yes… but for heavy flak city defense, the Germans used the 128mm Flakzwilling, which was actually TWO 128mm anti-aircraft guns, radar guided, with automatic magazines and loading… very nasty stuff as standard anti-aircraft guns go…
“All the worlds a stage, the people merely actors upon it.”
First off i don’t believe there was a 50 drone swarm. I have yet to see any creditable video showing it. The most lights i’ve seen in a video is about 10 in one frame. If that is being filmed over or around the metropolis area of NYC, then yeah your gonna probably get a lot of normal civilian small aircraft flying all over the place. I visited Denver back in the eighties before the moved the airport. One thing that struck me was how long a plane coming in for a landing from the north would take, with landing lights on it would just almost hover in the sky for almost 5 to 10min sometimes. The first time i saw it, i was sure i was witnessing the mother ship returning from Beta Sirius. But alas, no it’s the 2300hr flight in from Casper WY, with winds coming out of the south.
All I’m trying to say is IF there was a 50 drone swarm appearing to come out of the ocean, which again i don’t think there was, then drone testing in the region with the FAA could be the reasoning.
I definitely think there is a psychological component to the story telling and the freaking Governors jumping on board with all this. This will be in my speculation part.
I wanted to mention Woodrow Wilson was Governor of NJ before becoming the traitorous president he became, going on to pass Federal Reserve Act. Income Tax Act, send troops to WW1 after running on the platform saying he wouldn’t and finally his fait accompli, stroking out and allowing his unelected wife to run things (at least according to the official version), more like Colonel House stepped in and took over.
As for your USG having multiple different test facilities across the country, yes i’ll agree. Are you talking military or civilian? Anything tested for and dealing with civilian aviation is and was done at the FAA tech center. New radar system, tested at FAA tech center, new aircraft designs were tested on those runways back in the 80’s. They physically were crashing planes on the runways to test different types of concrete/asphalt designs. New types of airport scanners, yep you bet, those are tested there also. Regulation written for dealing with, I don’t know, insert some mundane ATC procedure here, yep was written and hashed out at the FAA tech center. All of those flight corridors for drones being hashed out, those new regs and procedure are written here. Computers systems for the ATC people to use, yep, tested here at the FAA tech center. How long a ATC operator can comfortably stare at the scope before they start to make too many mistakes was tested here.
Now if your talking about the counter rotating plasma, torsion field generating Nazi Bell developed and tested before the end of the war, and probably after, which have might have been responsible for the Kecksberg incident in the 50’s. Then yeah that’s probably tested somewhere else.
I was unaware of the TAA tech center in NJ. Definitely has some relevance possibilities. There are many mysteries/anomalies associated with this drone thing. Chances are it’s multi-layered. People with eyes to the sky who would not previously have looked are ‘noticing’ what may have been going on already to one degree or another.
Heard a piece about authorities looking for a pilfered shipment of nuclear material. From the description of the cargo it didn’t seem like a ‘sum of all fears’ kind of emergency. Small volume and mostly ‘spent’. That seems a cover story for something more dangerous to me.
“That seems a cover story for something more dangerous to me.” 100% agree, I am thinking this direction also. Fear or Real though is my conundrum?
Yeah, people who work there are compartmentalized for sure, and don’t often give detail about anything other than which department they work in. They rhythmically repeat the line, “you know, Nedreck, I just work in computer design and systems analysis.” To whit i often reply, “How about them Red Sox?” We move on with that topic for the next 2 hours!

locally, in rural flyover america - in a local fb group for gossiping about goings on (no more local newspaper so this is where we migrated) - there have been a couple of very popular “i saw drones at night HERE” posts with hundreds of comments (they didn’t, but they were feeling left out). it’s a very community engaging topic.
