As a recreational hobbyist flyer that's curious, I can't wait to fly my SUV sized drone again at night.

I'm still waiting to see those photos of the "SUV sized" drones.

ZipLine has some pretty large drones. Not exactly SUV sized drones but, when viewed in the sky from the ground I can easily understand how *some* people might have assumed the ZipLine drones are larger than they really are.

So, what does that have to do with drones in New Jersey? Well, quite a lot (possibly). ZipLine has a testing facility in New Jersey. And, as it turns out, according to a "tweet" on January 10 by a ZipLine employee, ZipLine had been testing its drones over New Jersey from the beginning of November. Yes, at night too! See:

Also, ZipLine isn't the only company using rather large drones for delivery. Here's what Amazon has been using:

So, maybe consider giving the folks in New Jersey a break.

I live in NJ and saw the lights for 2 weeks. I never actually saw a drone since the lights were far away.
The lights I saw were exactly like this video, constants lights with flashing lights. This went on for about a week. I have never seen them again.

A friend/coworker actually saw a drone and this is exactly what he described. He spent some time looking on Google for an image of a drone that matched what he saw. He saw it as it went past the moon. He has a Part 107, lives in controlled air space and knows the LAANC grid over his house. He said he estimated that it was below the LAANC ceiling and moving 20 to 30 mph, flying compliantly and legally. At the same time I saw the lights located to the south of him and another friend saw the lights and was to the north.

They had something in Arizona a while back at night! A News Helicopter chased it and it left the Helicopter in the dust! They don’t want us to know!

Trump has debunked nothing. This was the answer all along, but people didn't want to believe it. Now that it's coming from HIM, they suddenly accept it? smh

Now that it's coming from HIM, they suddenly accept it? smh

On December 13th, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security stated that these aircraft are being "operated lawfully" and that there are currently "no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace."

Trump's statement simply reinforces what many already suspected. If you check the comments on the video I posted above, you'll see plenty of skeptics who still believe the government isn't being fully transparent.

Then again, some of those same people are probably still waiting for the government to disclose all the UFOs they've supposedly captured. So, who can blame them?

I just bought an 18 wheeler sized drone. Should be fun.

Why should they not accept it,if it is the truth.

All I want to know is what kind of Drone that they had in Arizona a while back! It was big, quiet and a News Helicopter tried to catch it, it left in the Dust! It had to be Military or Aliens! Go figure?

Who knows. It's not like the government was completely honest about Covid and what information was being shared.

 

[Bad Santa]

I mean, it's not like he'd ever lie.

Do you think the last group of winners we had for 4 years ever told the truth on anything.
