Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) Claims Drones are Iranian

[Jim H - VA USA]

Found this today, wouldn't surprise me if they went with this for an explanation.

Radioactive material went missing in New Jersey earlier this month, fueling conspiracy theories that it could be linked to the mysterious drone sightings.
A piece of medical equipment used for cancer scans was shipped from the Nazha Cancer Center in Newfield on December 2 for disposal, but the 'shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty.'
The device, known as a 'pin source,' contained a small amount of Germanium-68 (Ge-68) that is used to calibrate a medical scanner's accuracy. If handled without proper gear, it can cause radiation poisoning.

Mystery as radioactive shipment goes missing in New Jersey

Radioactive material went missing in New Jersey this month. Officials reported the 'shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty.'

It's definitely not that.

The missing radioactive material in NJ is not a real threat to the public since it is such a tiny amount. It is less than Category 3, which means not a real threat....

In theory, a drone could be used to locate such material, but it would probably not be possible unless the shielding for the radioactive source were opened and it was a stronger source.

Sources like this one, and more dangerous ones, go missing frequently - lost in transit or stolen. I am not aware of drones ever being used to locate them.

The article below provides a credible explanation of the drones...

Uncovered files reveal secret operation at center of drone invasion

The White House has repeatedly stated that drones over New Jersey are not US military or foreign adversaries, leaving experts to suspect the government is secretly involved.

Official records show the army has been developing and testing 'counterterrorism' drones in New Jersey for years, amid claims of a government cover-up.

A 2018 defense contract awarded $50 million to a private robotics company to develop craft capable of creating 3D maps of urban areas for a 'counter weapons of mass destruction' program.

The contract was given out by the Army's Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which is located at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, where mystery drones were first reported last month.

Meanwhile, documents show the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an air restriction alert on November 21 prohibiting flights over the Picatinny base for 'special security reasons' through December 26.

The White House has claimed the drone sightings - which coincidentally began on November 18 - are not a foreign adversary, pose no threat and are not part of a US military operation.

Retired CIA Intelligence Officer Rudy Ridolfi told DailyMail.com: 'This FAA notice shows US drone testing is happening in the area. It's a warning for others to stay out of the area during those dates.

'While the nature of the testing isn't specified, it's most likely the testing of payloads related to reconnaissance.'

But Matt Sloane, founder of drone consulting firm AI Skyfire, told DailyMail.com that the sightings could be 'a contractor developing these drones for DoD.'

The DoD can deny claims of third-party technologies if the drones were placed on a secure tech list for contract disclosures, which means the government is applying special restrictions to the information.

I realize that.....read the same article and know that type response hasn't happened..... BUT I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes the story dejour.

 

[Delldude]

Now McCaul is claiming it's Chinese drones.

Come and go every night from sea, fly grid patterns up and down the east coast, flying into restricted airspace......oh, gee whiz...... some have been spotted at Wright Pat.

Yet no one knows the hows and why's of what's going on.

Chinese take over our airspace??

If the drones were beneficial to America, democrats would shoot them down.

Assume the worst. Most of the drones are there to provide cover for the larger spray drones.

Our friends in gov't claim they aren't foreign, they're not a danger. They're from Iran, they're from China.

4-5 weeks out from inauguration day and this.

Lots of helo's.......our friends in gov't claim many reports are actually helo's mistaken for drones.

NEST uses lots of helo's......lot's of plain looking helo's.

If they don't know who is operating the drones or what they are doing, then they can't say they aren't foreign and totally safe.

"They are serious viruses of animal origin that can kill humans if they infect them. However, infection generally needs hand-to-mouth contamination, and they do not spread so the risk is limited to direct contacts," Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of Reading in the U.K., told Newsweek.

The lab has not been able to conclude if the viruses were destroyed or removed from secure storage, but they do not appear to have been stolen.

"There is nothing to suggest that these have been taken from the laboratory. Secondly […] we don't have any evidence that Hendra virus has been weaponized in any way in any research laboratory," Nicholls said at a press conference.

"Of course, all this kind of research is taken in secret, but we are not aware that this has been weaponized in any way. The process of weaponizing a virus is very sophisticated, and is not something an amateur does."

"If these vials were not in an ultra-low temp freezer, minus 80 degrees C [minus 112 F], a typical domestic freezer is minus 20 degrees C, the viruses would not last at that temperature, then they will degrade and lose infectiousness quickly, within days."

"In theory, if someone was exposed to the content of a vial, then they would be at risk of infection, but only during the time immediately after they were out of the freezer."

Aerial dispersal doesn't look like a winner to me.
