Another update from Dolan:
He laments the lack of regular media coverage about sightings of all kinds, and specifically the lack of details for almost all of the supposed 5,000+ sightings/reports of 'New Jersey Drones'. He then goes through the various theories, without favoring any one in particular, but is especially astonished that not a single 'drone' has been taken down yet.
Next is US Navy pilot Ryan Graves, who had his own 'mystery drone encounters' - along with many other pilots - in 2019. Rogan had him on his podcast, and here's the part where they discussed the NJ 'swarm':
Note Graves mentions that there were previously TWO 'swarms' at Langley AFB in the run-up to Christmas, prompting him and his colleagues to anticipate another one this year. Well, it happened, but on a much bigger scale and over a much bigger area!
A couple more highlights: he doesn't think the "nuke sniffing" theory holds any water. He knows people tasked with those kinds of operations, and
they're not doing them. Ross Coulthart's sources are saying
the same thing, as are
Chris Mellon's. Similarly, Matthew Pines worked on the procedures for scenarios like that, and they
don't involve drone swarms, especially not at night for weeks on end. And why hover over
mayors' houses? Steve Skojec put it
humorously:
Containment narrative indeed. First it was the "Iranian mothership" disinfo. That immediately spread like wildfire and everyone was so certain it was the correct answer. Now we've shifted to "the government is searching for adversarial biological or nuclear weapons, but only at nighttime, and only using completely unrecognizable tech that can't be interdicted and produces no heat signature but is lit up like a christmas tree for stealth purposes and oh by the way they come from the ocean and nobody has seen them take off or land and the DoD is lying to us about it without even a cover story and are refusing to cooperate with local law enforcement, elected officials, or the FBI, who are all trying to investigate this because nobody will tell them what's going on." And somehow, THAT is more plausible to people. Meanwhile, every other comment is the buried-ostritch-head snarky theory du jour: "it's just an effing plane, bro"
He also bemoans the number of people who are so
sure of themselves, something I also find very annoying.
Graves also talks about some of the
"drone" tech, which is similar to some stuff Scottie posted several pages back:
"They're making what appear to be pretty high G turns, maybe like three, four or five G turns at relatively low air speeds, which is indicative of them having a pretty significant power supply. Anytime you turn like that, you're burning energy essentially. So for them to be able to make these high G maneuvers and then remain in the area for another five or six or seven hours and still have the battery life or whatever's propelling them to then go over the ocean to a point where they're untrackable, again, I'm not really familiar with that type of capability either."
As for weirdness, someone mentioned Skinwalker Ranch. There have been a couple reports of commercial drones'
batteries draining when attempting to get close to the mystery drones, similar to what happens on the Ranch.
Finally, here's UFO 'veteran reporter' George Knapp, who's still plugging away for local Las Vegas TV, with a good summary report on the situation to date:
Good videos! More below:
That has kinda been my idea from the beginning: the main reason for the drones was to make a lot of noise so the signal was drowned out.
Lue Elizondo provided a
similar option: "What we may have here is a confused public. We might have some people reporting true UAP events followed by a Department of Defense response by launching drones to go ahead and try to find these UAPs." He
lists several options: foreign adversaries (he doesn't think this one is very likely at all, as he made clear to Coulthart), domestic assets (doesn't think this one is very likely either), UAP (he says some reports include at least one of the
five observables, e.g. transmedium, low observability), or mixed (seems to think this is most likely, but doesn't say). Coulthart raised the possibility that this was a rogue element of the state (IC/contractors). Elizondo thought it possible, but pointed out that if so, it would essentially be a coup d'etat.
Here's the interview with Coulthart, who also interviews Ben Hansen. Some good points throughout, e.g. Hansen knows a contractor developing drones for the military that brags that their drones can stay airborne for 2 hours, maybe 4, meanwhile the NJ drones are doing 6-10 hours:
A few more perspectives: Tim Alberino
points out the similarity with the Peruvian window-fallers - "extremely advanced but not as anomalous as typical UFO activity." He's considering a similar 3 possibilities: foreign actors, deep state/private aerospace, NHI. Tom DeLonge
points out the similarity to encounters
from the 60s, i.e. aliens and mimicry. Matthew Pines seems to be
leaning in the UFO flap direction. Rep. Nancy Mace is
considering NHI as
an option. Lester Nare points out that if this is a human operation, it would be
very expensive, narrowing down the list of possible suspects. Elizondo made a similar point
on NewsNation. Condorman, who works in aerospace, talked to the DOD advisory members of his group, who
shared these thoughts:
-General opinion was frustration with DoD response
-NSC keeping drone info very tight
-‘Know’ images exist, incl sat, but not shared on secure networks
-Mixing known craft info with hard-to-track ‘real drones’ is duplicitous
-Hope new admin will shake info loose
Jesse Michels seems to
think it's mixed:
Many of the fixed wing drones with red and green lights are (likely?) manmade. Orbs and other UAVs around sensitive nuclear sites and Air Force bases across the United States? That sounds remarkably like the 167 historical cases of on record witnesses (stand up employees of nuclear bases who are BEYOND reproach) documented by Robert Hastings in his great book UFOs and Nukes. These flying objects often shut down our most advanced weaponry (Vandenberg 64’, Malmstrom 67’, Fe Warren 2010 etc). If any true UFOs are here, it would make complete sense that you’d get a mix of human drones alongside them. What’s the prosaic explanation for these non-fixed wing orbs and more exotic looking, impossible to fend off, high electromagnetism “drones” flying with impunity around our sensitive military installations? High powered lasers? Plasma balls? Classified American tech that we’re using to red team or troll our most intensely locked down military sites (and that’s somehow also happening all around the world)?
The number of military bases violated in the past weeks is
at least 14.
