Arab Weather - Since mid-November, New Jersey residents began noticing unusual flying objects in the sky, and talk of "drones" spread in reports that increased noticeably over the days. While these sightings were initially limited, they expanded to include multiple counties and vital areas, sparking controversy and concern among residents and officials alike.

Increasing sightings in New Jersey skies

Hundreds of New Jersey residents have spotted strange flying objects over about a dozen counties. Some of the objects are the size of cars, and have sometimes been seen flying alone or in groups over military installations and vital facilities such as dams, railroad stations and power plants.

Although Republican Senator John Bramnick described the situation as a "limited emergency," this did not stop questions and concerns about the identity of these objects and the purpose of their presence.

What are UFOs?

So far, the objects have not been conclusively identified. White House officials believe they are not part of the US military, describing them as “legally operated manned aircraft.”

The Pentagon has denied any threat to national security, but estimates suggest the objects are up to 6 feet wide, making it unlikely they are just small recreational aircraft.

Conflicting interpretations: danger or error?

While authorities are still unable to identify what these objects are, conflicting explanations have emerged as government officials state that most cases may be the result of misidentification of aircraft.

Views outside New Jersey

The phenomenon is not limited to New Jersey; similar sightings have been reported in:

Maryland
New York
Pennsylvania
Virginia

Even Larry Hogan, the former governor of Maryland, said he personally saw dozens of drones flying over his home for 45 minutes.

Precautionary measures and ongoing investigations

The Federal Aviation Administration has implemented no-fly zones for drones over critical facilities in New Jersey.

The investigation continues with the participation of the FBI and state police, amid calls from officials for tougher measures.

As the debate over “flying objects” in the New Jersey skies continues, questions remain unanswered. Are they just ordinary drones? Or is there a deeper story that has yet to be uncovered? What is certain is that this phenomenon is now a test of modern technology and crisis response mechanisms.
