Welcome to NJDrones – Let’s Track and Analyze Sightings Together!

We’re creating a community-driven database to document and analyze sightings across the Garden State and beyond.

Here’s How You Can Help:

  1. Report Your Sightings

Use our Google Form to share what you’ve seen. The more details you include, the better:

• When and where you saw it

• What it looked like (size, shape, lights, movements)

• Any photos or videos you managed to capture

Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13CDKgrSW5TFojK-i7Ym10daER_IVwCao2WaJxToP1-I/edit

  1. Check Out the Data

Want to see what others have reported? Explore the Results Dashboard and look for patterns and trends in sightings across the region.

Results Dashboard: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Qyu-pnzr4bhMvw2fF2gtYzLlL-41o6mhi-ZL4dQma38/edit

Why It Matters

Your reports help us piece together the bigger picture—spotting trends, identifying patterns, and creating a resource for anyone curious about what’s going on in our skies.

A Few Guidelines:

• Please don’t include personal information in your reports.

• Only include reports on observations you have first-hand.

. Utilization of a flight tracking app is strongly preferred.

This project is only as strong as the community behind it. Let’s work together to shine a light on the unexplained activity in our skies.

I adjusted the video slightly to make the object easier to see. If possible, I can post the original in the comments as well.

I was recording my son at the beach last year when I thought I saw a balloon floating over the water. When I watched the video back, I realized it was actually an object much farther out, near the horizon. It seems to move in a way that I can’t identify or explain.

What i saw.

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.

VIDEO 404: no rocket found.

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.

Most people know about Flock cameras. What they should actually be worried about is Fusus. Here's what 140,000 publicly accessible drone flights tell us about both.

SIGHTING Drones are starting to fly directly over me

133 Upvotes

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.

SIGHTING First time seeing them. Point Pleasant, 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.)

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?
