“The loss of public confidence in American institutions is well documented, and to illustrate its cost, consider the mini-national panic over unidentified aerial objects. No one in America seems to believe what the authorities say about them, and unproven claims fill the void. Thousands of Americans who aren’t crazy have seen drones or what they think are drones overhead. New Jersey, among other places, is a hotbed of observation, for reasons no one has been able to explain. But sightings have occurred throughout the Northeast, as well as California. Military installations and critical infrastructure sites appear to be targets, if eyewitnesses are correct. »

— Extract from an editorial in Wall Street Journal on the increase in reports of drones or unidentified flying devices, mainly in the New York and New Jersey regions.

PS: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday that the drones and flying devices observed do not emanate from a foreign threat. “There’s no question that people see drones,” Mayorkas admitted on the show This Week from ABC. “These are drones, or piloted aircraft that are mistaken for drones. There are thousands of drones flying across the United States every day, recreational drones, commercial drones. »

PPS: Jon Bramnick, Republican state senator in New Jersey, expressed this loss of confidence in which the WSJ alluded to in his editorial. “Whatever these drones are doing, the government really doesn’t want us to know,” he said Saturday in an interview with NewsNation, calling on the Department of Defense to “tell the American public the truth.” about what is really happening. “That means they are more concerned about us being informed and being afraid of this information than they are about us not being informed and having all these questions.” » Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene obviously did not miss the opportunity to formulate a new conspiracy theory, accusing the federal government of “controlling” the drones flying over New Jersey.
