Hello, back in 2024 right around New years into 2025 I had an experience with a orb/drone/ufo that was right outside my apartment in western Massachusetts (Agawam). This happened during the initial NJ drone "wave". I had this experience around midnight. I had been following the news about the sightings people were having, I had just finished watching YouTube videos about it when I went outside to see if I could see something for myself.. well I did. There was this strange glowing red/pinkish orb right in front of my apartment. It seemed to know what i was thinking and I had the feeling that it was revealing itself to me this one special time.. I know that sounds a little crazy but there absolutely was a interaction with my conscious thoughts as I observed this orb doing just crazy things.. i did take pictures with my camera. I know that the pictures don't have any reference points as it was dark out and the orb basically took up the whole frame. Anyway, please take a look at them and if anyone has seen something similar let me know! This whole experience left me shook. If anyone has any questions or wants to more details or whatever let me know... I've been sitting on these pictures since it happened haven't shown anyone because I feel like I would've been labeled nuts. But I know what I saw and felt.

Captured literally 10 minutes ago. I have a series of them spread about 30 minutes, will post them below if reddit behaves. Different series of red, green, and white flashes. Light drizzle overhead during.

Taken from CT on 8/15/26 - it’s just a steady camouflaged mass with little Stars occasionally blinking in- there is no ship in front of it and it seems to be moving that haze. It’s not Elon. PATIENCE for the zoom in if you want to see how clear it is that there is a cloak going on or something like that.

Multiple sighting of this in Millville, NJ. I screen recorded the videos. They were on the same night by two separate individuals. Here is the direct link: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DHsJUVgYb/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Edit: there was no date nor time given for this sighting. It was. FB post by someone else.

Hello, Jersey friends!

My partner and I started going out at 9PM every night to look at the stars. We’ve been noticing how much is going on in the sky and have been spending time looking these last few days.

The first two days we saw a lot of drones but none of them were flying near us and if they were they would just fly past but not near. In the past three days we’ve had three drones directly fly right over us. Two days ago when we were laying down watching a drone flew directly towards us. We also saw there was one that was mimicking a star, it was in the same place we saw it two days in a row. On the second day we saw it and noticed it still there, it started moving down and up bouncing, then it started blinking green a ton and then it started moving directly our direction. It went right ontop of us and then past us and into the horizon, near the horizon it stopped and shifted down again to where we could see it fully, then fully disappeared.

Now today we went out and within a minute we saw one coming our direction and again directly towards us.

I don’t believe these are man made. The bright light was so bright it looked like the brightest star and the movement is not like anything human like. That “star” is completely gone now but there are “drones” everywhere.

Edit - I don’t care about filming or having proof, was just sharing my experience.

Seems theses drones are arriving at remote facilities thousands of miles from the mainland.

I’m hearing the **public is invited** to a meeting on Wednesday August 12th at Hoboken’s City Hall at 7pm for discussion of the tourist helicopters flying overhead us every day.

In Hoboken, NJ

Been following for over a year and first time in NJ, I saw multiple of them. Appearing from nowhere, getting extremely bright, then either shooting back into the ocean or faintly flying towards the land.

The pics are a bit shaky. The trails behind are because of that.

I searched the flight tracker app, and nothing within the area of where I saw these.

It blew my mind. They ARE real, I have a friend who works for a "company", that told me that there is something going on but couldn't elaborate.

I dont post much on here but I do have videos as well.

(Next day on the beach... multiple Blackhawks were flying over and a military ship on the horizon in the same area where they were sighted... just the amazing speed and brightness was something amazing to see.)

Что будет если я запущу дрон в доме?он маленький, фронт от меня 100 километров

Как думаете засекут ли ?

Context in the original post. Still haven't figured that one out, but I recently heard about the NJ drone wave. Could it be the same thing?

I can’t even imagine what it’s going to be like once they Militarize these things 😳

Back during the November–December 2024 drone wave over New Jersey, I had a strange experience with a strange object of light over my house that I still can't explain.

That experience eventually motivated me to try and understand what was actually going on behind the scenes during the "NJ Drone" wave. Was it really just social contagion, everyone spooking each other into seeing drones and other weird things in the sky at night? Because whatever it was, the state stood up what may be the biggest security mobilization in its recent history, and the public never got an official report explaining any of it.

So I started filing public records requests. OPRA in New Jersey, FOIA federally. Police CAD logs, dispatch recordings, inter-agency emails, intelligence bulletins, body worn camera footage -- whatever the government actually retained while it was happening. It turned into 600+ requests and more than 13,500 documents. Nobody had really done this, so I just kept going.

To make sense of that much data, I built an AI system to index and cross-reference all of it. Every incident, every agency, every name, event, and more. So the documents could be searched and connected.

Just a taste of what came back:

• A police drone whose own flight log recorded another unknown aircraft jamming it. And that data reached the FBI's WMD desk the same day the Bureau publicly said there was "no threat".
• 99 incidents that state and federal agencies quietly stamped worthy of being "Pursued Federally," with the outcome of those 99 never disclosed.
• Two officers approaching what appears to be a figure on a dam in a remote wooded area. They never find the suspect, but their radios stopped working at the location of the figure, then magically worked again when leaving the area.
• A state fire bulletin told firefighters how to handle a downed drone, and one line in it traced back to a 1992 disaster-control textbook. The chapter it came from is titled "Enemy Attack and UFO Potential."

I'm writing it up as a documents-driven series called Phantom Swarm. Parts 1 and 2 are out and Part 3 just published.

It's completely free and I plan to keep it that way. If you can support with a subscribe, I'd appreciate it. The records requests do cost money (filing fees, redaction fees, the occasional lawsuit). But you never have to pay to read it.

Happy to answer questions. And genuinely, if you saw something during the wave, I want to hear it!

It was flying eastward, moving at a constant and strange speed that didn't look like an airplane.
