The ongoing saga of mysterious drones flying over New Jersey has left residents on edge and sparked heated debates about the nature of these flying objects. Despite the swirling speculations, US authorities have been unable to offer concrete explanations, only reassuring the public that there is no imminent threat to safety or national security.
Since 18 November, numerous reports of drone sightings have flooded in from various parts of New Jersey.

Despite the mounting unease, federal and state agencies maintain that the drones do not pose a significant threat. Efforts to track the origins and intentions of these mysterious drones have led to varied speculations, from an alleged Iranian connection to potential Chinese involvement.
Lawmakers are calling for decisive action, including shooting down drones for analysis, while cautioning against vigilantism due to legal implications.
