Multiple drones have been reported entering the airspace above a New Jersey naval station, prompting a wave of speculation and concern. The official response, suggesting a lack of threat and an inability to identify the source, has only fueled the fire, leaving many questioning the official narrative.
The nonchalant official response, claiming no threat, seems almost too convenient. Many are pointing out the stark contrast between the apparent ease with which these drones breach restricted airspace and the swift, often severe, reactions to even minor infractions by civilian drone operators. If a civilian with a proper license were to fly a drone near a military base, they’d likely face immediate and serious consequences from the FAA, if not more.… Continue reading
