The recent epidemic of reported drone sightings across New York and New Jersey has sparked widespread attention and speculation. According to John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a drone manufacturer in Kansas, the drones could be searching for gas leaks or radioactive material. Ferguson’s theory is based on the fact that the drones are flying at night, which suggests they are looking for something specific. He also believes that the drones are not nefarious in intent, but rather seeking something important.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has received over 3,000 tips regarding the drone sightings, with the majority of them occurring at night. In a nine-minute TikTok video, Ferguson offered his assessment of the drones and suggested that they could be compliant with federal regulations. He also reiterated his theory that the drones are searching for gas leaks or pockets of radiation.
The lack of concrete answers from government agencies has led to the propagation of theories, including the outlandish Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory. This theory claims that global elites plan to stage a fake alien invasion using advanced technology to establish a totalitarian world government. In the wake of the drone sightings, this theory has seen a revival online, with influential social media accounts posting about it and garnering millions of views.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has suggested that a Federal Aviation Administration rule change in September 2023 could be a reason behind the uptick in drone sightings. This rule change could potentially allow for more drones to be flown at night, leading to an increase in sightings.
Overall, the mystery surrounding the drone sightings in New York and New Jersey continues to spark speculation and theories. While some believe the drones could be searching for gas leaks or radioactive material, others have turned to conspiracy theories for answers. With the FAA rule change looming in 2023, it remains to be seen if the drone sightings will continue or if more concrete answers will be provided.
