United States - December 16, 2024 Unexplained drones continue to hover over New Jersey, adding to a growing nationwide puzzle that has captivated and concerned residents. On December 16, X user Kate shared a video of a drone lingering motionless in the sky over Bergen County. “They just hover there…they’re not moving like planes do,” she noted, admitting initial skepticism before witnessing the activity firsthand. While unconvinced of a major threat, she speculated, “It’s our military if anything at all.” The sighting follows weeks of reports across New Jersey and other states, with dozens of drones spotted since mid-November. Flights near sensitive areas, including Picatinny Arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course, triggered temporary FAA flight restrictions. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed the sightings include drones and manned aircraft but assured the public there’s no evidence of foreign involvement or danger. Officials remain vigilant, though some lawmakers criticize the government’s slow response and lack of transparency. As drones continue to appear over key locations in the northeast and beyond, the skies above Bergen County are now part of the nation’s lingering drone mystery.
