Increasing Drone Sightings in New Jersey

Recent reports indicate a surge in sightings of drones or drone-like objects over New Jersey, with recordings of 964 incidents logged, raising concerns about security, especially near military sites. Various public figures, including Senator Andy Kim and former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, have shared their encounters with these flying objects, though Hogan's fear was later identified as a familiar constellation. This phenomenon is linked to a broader trend where the perception of drones and other aerial objects is heightened, suggesting a growing obsession or anxiety surrounding unidentified flying objects in the region. As people spend more time at home and less time observing their surroundings, their awareness of the changing sky has led to confusion and speculation regarding the origin and purpose of these sightings.
