Drone Fest

I saw a drone up in the air. A little drone that wasn't there. It wasn't there again today. Oh how I'd wish it'd go away.

People have been reporting drone sightings over New Jersey for several weeks now but recently things seem to be getting out of control. The number of sightings has skyrocketed and sightings are now being reported in New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania. There have even been reports in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

I saw four sets of three lights in the sky coming back from my daughter's house last Sunday night along Route 80 in Morris County. They weren't airplanes because there was also an airplane flying by and the differe4nce was obvious. Warning lights on top of electrical towers or communications towers? Perhaps, but those lights typically blink and these lights weren't blinking.

So who knows?

The federal government isn't helping much. They keep saying things like "there is no evidence that there's any threat," OK, but there's no evidence that they're not a threat either other than nothing has happened yet. I did hear a report that an airport in New York had to shut down because of drones in its airspace.

I don't think this is mass hysteria although the majority of sightings are probably aircraft, stars or warning lights. Too many of the reports are coming from people, police, EMT and military, that I would tend to believe.
