In the latest mystery sighting, a strange orange glow was captured on footage hovering over the US military base at Fort Campbell, Tennessee. An anonymous user posted the video on Reddit, with the odd glow defying explanation from onlookers, including the user's father, a retired soldier with extensive military experience. This sighting echoes similar recent reports of unidentified objects spotted in the US, including four orbs seen in a no-fly zone in Queens, New York. With official reports of UFO sightings also recorded in Northern Ireland, the sighting adds to the ongoing debate about potential extraterrestrial visitors. The Ministry of Defence, which previously recorded UFO sightings, closed its UFO desk in 2009 after concluding that none of the reports disclosed any evidence of a potential threat. Nonetheless, the growing number of reported sightings raises questions about how such phenomena are perceived and addressed.
9 Explanations for the Drone Sightings Over New Jersey, Ranked From Most to Least Likely
Jan. 2, 2025, 10:17 p.m. • Popular Mechanics • (4 Minute Read)
Since November 13, New Jersey has been in the midst of a genuine drone panic, with over 5,000 sightings reported to the FBI across not only New Jersey but at least ten other states. Reports of car-sized drones, blinking lights, and mysterious objects zipping through the skies have caused widespread hysteria to the point that in December, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy urged the public to “calm down,” assuring residents that “sophisticated federal investigators” are now involved. The FBI says the drones pose no risk to civilians, and of the thousands of sightings, the Bureau only felt 100 reports were worth following up on. Still, as of January 2, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued 57 drone flight restrictions over New Jersey, largely over critical infrastructure. While the government lacks concrete explanations for the sightings, there are many theories about the current drone “flap.” People are noticing drones that have always been around. Drones have been around for about a decade, and many drones are used for policing, surveying, and search and rescue. It is quite likely that many of the reported drone sightings are just that: drones that have been zipping around for years, doing completely ordinary drone things, and people are just now noticing them. Natural and human-made phenomena are being misidentified as drones. Like UFO sightings throughout their history, people with no observation training are reporting ordinary objects in the night sky as drones. The wave is being exacerbated by real drone operators pranking the public. It’s easy to anonymously fly a hobbyist drone. One possibility is that some of the drone sightings are the result of drone operators that are deliberately stirring the pot with their own drones. The drones are being flown by spies from hostile countries with nefarious intent. Spies could be attempting to use drones to record classified Pentagon activity or rehearse attacks on American soil. On one hand, there have indeed been sightings of drones around sensitive military sites. The drones are being flown by terrorists. A similar theory is that the drones are being flown by terrorist groups, either foreign or domestic, gathering intelligence or rehearsing an attack. The drones are owned by the government and are searching for lost radioactive material. One conspiracy theory claims that the drones, outfitted with neutron detectors and other specialized equipment capable of detecting nuclear material, are searching for lost radioactive medical equipment. The drones are spraying chemicals. Other conspiracy theorists are advancing the theory that whoever is operating the drones is spraying chemicals over population centers for unknown purposes. The drones are part of an effort to enslave mankind and create a one-world dictatorship. In the 1990s, Canadian journalist Serge Monast advanced the bizarre theory that NASA and the United Nations were planning to stage worldwide events that would cause mankind to reject Christianity and democracy in favor of a dictatorship headed by the Antichrist. The drones are actually alien spaceships. Tying Project Blue Beam for unlikely theories is the idea that the drones are actually misidentified alien spaceships. As government officials and experts work to address the drone sightings, the public's belief systems, psychology, and human response to mysteries are being considered in understanding the situation.
