| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The FBI has launched an investigation into mysterious glowing lights that have been spotted over New Jersey for the last few weeks. "We're planning on a raid on Mar-A-Lago" Eyewitnesses reported unexplained 'car-sized' drones over the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base in Rockaway, among other locations throughout northern New Jersey. Video footage revealed the drones featured green and red lights on their wings and multiple eyewitness described them as large as a small car. However, the flying objects are larger than drones used by hobbyists, raising questions about their proximity to those specific locations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was first alerted about the strange activity in Morris County, where the military base is located, on November 18, but sights also surfaced in nearby Menham, Chester and Morristown. The drone flights have alarmed residents throughout northern New Jersey, who said that they only appear at night and hover above their homes daily, remaining active for hours at a time. The sightings have gained attention on social media, prompting speculation about where the drones came from and what they are doing. 'False flag alien invasion. That’s what they want, to induce fear,' one person posted on X. Others suggested the drones are being used to spy on President-elect Donald Trump, who has been known to vacation at his Bedminster golf club and typically flies into Morristown Airport. Trump was the target of a failed Iranian assassination attempt in November. Farhad Shakeri, 51, was revealed to have admitted to orchestrating the terrifying scheme which was thwarted by the FBI and involved three alleged hitmen who were hired by the feared Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to carry out a hit on the president-elect. And earlier last month, Chinese spies were said to have hacked the smartphones of Trumps' lawyer and campaign staff. The attacks have raised concerns about America's adversaries spying on the president-elect. On November 22, the FAA banned drone flights over the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster until December 6, and the Picatinny Arsenal Military Base in Rockaway until December 26. 'We look into all reports of unauthorized drone operations and investigate when appropriate,' the FAA said in a statement. The agency also noted that drone operators who endanger aircraft of pedestrians could be fined up to $75,000 and lose their drone operators' pilot certificates. Days later, the FBI confirmed they were investigating the drone activity. The digital news site NJ.com spoke with Eric Kowal, a spokesman for Picatinny Arsenal, who said it is illegal to fly drones over the base without prior authorization. But he does not believe the drones pose an immediate threat. 'From our standpoint we're not alarming our residents and employees,' he said. 'The FBI are the experts on the threat. We don't believe there to be a threat at this juncture.' New Jersians are 'unnerved' by the incidents, telling reporters that they have seen drones hovering near their homes for hours at a time, sometimes in groups. Walsh stated that he has seen up to eight drones at once. |

| #7 My question would be if the drones were jinking to avoid laser/directed energy targeting? |

| #5 There's a lot of man carrying drones being developed. a quick search resulted in too many different drones being developed to serve as 'air taxi' and people/cargo carriers ti list. My guess id that the golf course is an ideal place to test when it's closed. |

| #1 A step in the investigation ought to include seeing where they land and talking to the people that own the drones. |
