A US Army Special Operations veteran and drone expert says it’s “difficult to believe” the government knows nothing about the mysterious drones that have been troubling New Jersey residents for weeks, noting that his gut instinct points to a foreign adversary at play.
“Whether it’s friendly or foe, our government has a lot of explaining to do,” Fox News contributor Brett Velicovich said on “America Reports” earlier this week.
“I find it very difficult to believe that our government doesn’t really know anything about this,” he added.
“My gut, frankly, tells me it’s an adversary that’s doing this because if it was some secret military testing, the government would have put an end to it because of the hysteria,” said Velicovich, a former special operations intel analyst and drone expert.
While authorities have stressed that the massive drones spotted darting across Garden State skies each night are not a threat to public safety, Velicovich remained more cautious, warning that foreign adversaries may be using the time before President-elect Donald Trump takes office as a window for spying.
“Right now our adversaries see an opening in our national security infrastructure because at the highest echelons of our government, there is a security vacuum taking place because of the transition between administrations,” Velicovich said. “The timing is such a key indicator here.”
Velicovich noted he feels current US infrastructure and national security systems are not equipped to combat such threats.
“We have arcane infrastructure. We’ve been telling them to fix it for years, the FAA doesn’t listen. Their policies have completely destroyed our domestic drone industries,” Velicovich said. “We’re set back 10 years behind China, behind Russia, and now our public is at risk.”
Frustration reached the tipping point Wednesday after officials brushed off New Jersey residents’ concerns over the enigmatic drones, which have been filmed numerous times around the state in recent weeks.
Authorities — from Gov. Phil Murphy to the FBI — continue to insist that there is no danger from the drones, but also claim they have no idea what the mysterious objects are.
Officials have said that the aircraft have particularly sophisticated capabilities like becoming undetectable once a police drone or helicopter pursues them and hovering in one place for hours, much longer than the normal battery life of a civilian unmanned aircraft would allow.
The sightings began around Nov. 18, with incidents being reported every night since, with as many as 180 sightings overall, officials said Wednesday.

Normally I would agree with him about the government putting an end to it because of the hysteria. But then I remember just how arrogant and overbearing the Biden Administration is. Look how they left the Border open and tried to gaslight everybody for 4 years. Look how they lied about the 2020 election, and this time, with millions fewer voters who did not shift sides, they are silent about what amounts to strong evidence of their 2020 fraud. They don’t CARE about the “hysteria” of people they hold in contempt. Trump will take over and the project will end. Biden’s government has a “Never complain, never explain” attitude. They don’t care if you’re worried. “Fuck you!” Is their attitude about everything. Which is why Trump won the popular vote and Democrats lost Congress. It’s US government activity all right, unaccountable government activity, which makes the expert right - paradoxically: it IS adversarial, all right, but the adversary is not foreign.

Yep...the unrestrained arrogance of the Biden Administration is astonishing. No wonder DemRATZ want TraitorJOE to issue Mass Unlimited Pardons to all of Biden's co- conspirators in abusing the rights of WeThePeople. We deserve accountability, which must include Justice for the Swamp's Abusers of Power.

Maybe they are keeping quiet because it is Federal Drones.

Sounds good...but I've read that these things are either the size of a refrigerator or an SUV or a bus. A shot-down drone has gotta crash somewhere...MUD

I just put that there for fun. I will stick with my original thought that they are Federal Drones from USA.
