Mysterious Large Drones Over New Jersey Leave Officials and Residents Seeking Answers

Unidentified drones, spotted nightly since mid-November, have evaded detection and sparked concerns over their origin and intent.

Large drones, some reportedly the size of cars, have been seen nightly over central and northern New Jersey since mid-November, with up to 180 sightings in a single night.
The drones exhibit advanced capabilities, including extended flight times, coordinated formations, and evasion of detection by helicopters and infrared cameras.
Speculation about the drones' origin includes theories of military involvement, foreign adversaries like Iran or China, and even local hobbyist copycats, though no definitive explanation has been provided.
The Pentagon has denied claims from a New Jersey congressman that the drones are linked to an Iranian 'mothership' off the East Coast, stating there is no evidence of foreign involvement.
Federal agencies, including the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, are investigating, but local officials and residents have criticized the lack of transparency and actionable information.
