What, no theories? I've been waiting for a thread to begin and nothing! My pals have been sighting them for a couple of weeks and posting on FB, calling the police and getting told to call the FBI. And these are not even my crazy friends. So, has anyone seem them? About 100 mayors in NJ have been demanding answers from our Gov. Today I heard Biden is supposed to weigh in.
I was surprised to learn they were the size of a car.
So, please feel free to get as far out as you wish with your theories.

After going out with police to observe reports of possible drones, I was with the help of civilian pilots and others able to do deeper analysis and concluded that most of the possible drone sightings that were pointed out to me were almost certainly planes. Let me explain: THREAD pic.twitter.com/ljIOnYQzjF

someone on a local FB group posted a photo they claimed was a drone. It looked so much like a plane I wasn't sure if the poster was actually being ironic.
how does one exactly identify a drone from an aircraft at night? The only thing I can think of is that drones are more agile, so if you observe something making unusual maneuvers, it's probably a drone. Or maybe if you are very conversant with the rules of airplane lights, I guess you could distinguish them that way.
Somehow I doubt that the people reporting drones are familiar with either.
I wonder who started this. What was the first drone sighting?
Rosie O’Donnell urges people to stop referring to flying objects in the New Jersey sky as “drones,” insisting they are UFOs and that aliens have arrived.

UFO means unidentified object, which they are. The alien part is just wishful thinking on her part.
now this is a bit embarrassing. people are losing their ****. make sure you read the community note. sorry the "readers added context" section.
Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.
Lateat photo I saw from a SOMA person on FB claiming to have seen a drone was obviously a helicopter. I'm starting to believe 99% of these so-called drone sightings are people closely scanning the skies and thinking every light they see is a suspicious drone.

Yeah -- I think there definitely were, maybe still are, drones flying around and that the relevant agency/agencies should let the public know the details, but at this point people have been primed to identify every unfamiliar object in our crowded airspace as being a drone.
The wackiest conspiracy hysteria is coming from politicians.
It would seem the primary "hysteria" to be worried about right now are elected officials chomping at the bit to attribute the drone sightings to the typical cast of scary foreign adversaries, in hopes of whipping up a war fervor and/or funding more military-industrial expenditure pic.twitter.com/bkAKEMDlMB
Iron Dome for America??? Ca Ching. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for military. Maybe these drones are just a big infomercial for the military industrial complex.
Mike Waltz, the incoming National Security Advisor, says the NJ mystery drones highlight the need for an "Iron Dome for America," so we can probably expect plenty of lucrative provisions along those lines to be slipped into future defense appropriations bills pic.twitter.com/ndNzsstU27

Regardless of the facts of this drone hysteria, I agree that drone defense will be the response. Presumably it will be limited to sensitive sites since we can't provide coverage for the whole country.
