It's time to talk about the drones
So what the hell is going on over New Jersey. Supposed nightly sightings of drones or UAVs - sometimes allegedly in "swarms" - sometimes allegedly large (the size of cars) and others small. Sometimes with lights other times without. Sometimes they are reported to be hovering over power plants. Local press conferences have been held.
Now we have people in Congress literally saying wildly opposite things - even citing "sources". One says there's an Iranian mother ship off the coast. Another says it's just recreational performance art - like "War of the Worlds" - being done by Americans who aren't breaking any drone-related laws. The White House has even commented that many appear to be ordinary aircraft doing lawful things.
This is devolving into another example in our modern life were there's enough information to justify opinions and seed conspiracy theories but too little information to bring widespread, accurate belief.
Are they just people with recreational drones - and perhaps a little bit of crowd-sourced mischief? Are they some kind of government (even foreign?) surveillance program? Or just a bunch of one-off coincidences that appear to be a happening of some kind?
