🔴   There have been thousands of drone sightings in NJ

🔴   The government isn't saying who is responsible for the drones

🔴   Shooting down drones is dangerous and illegal

 

It's truly one of the most unusual things to hit New Jersey for quite a while.

Who would have picked New Jersey, for ground zero of a UFO invasion?

Hundreds or more of drones have reportedly been seen throughout New Jersey.

Does our government's reaction to these drones seem odd to you?

There doesn't seem to be much urgency in knowing what the deal is.

The United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas has been quoted as saying,

They present no "threat," and are not "nefarious."

But how can they make that assessment, when they admit they don't have any information about them?

If the name Alejandro Mayorkas sounds familiar, that's because he's the same official who told us for years that our southern border is secure.

Not very reassuring.

More and more, people are suggesting they should deal with these drones themselves, and shoot them down.

The sentiment is understandable, though it's doubtful anyone would follow through on those suggestions.

If you were considering taking some shots at the drones, it's a bad idea.

First and foremost, these aren't drones like we see for sale in Walmart.

🔺These are much larger and if by chance one crashes, it could cause serious damage and death.

🔺All responsible gun owners are also taught to never shoot unless you know where the bullet is going.  Shooting blindly into the night sky is dangerous.

🔺Shooting down a drone violates federal law.  You can be charged criminally under federal law, and you would violate state firearm laws.

Drone technology is so new that it feels like the government needs to take a hard look at regulations to better control the technology.

There's little the public can do to deal with invasive drones.

For instance, a drone hovering over your home is perfectly legal.

There are ways to jam the drone's signals, and there are even companies that can set up nets to catch drones.
