Mysterious Drones Over New Jersey: Are They Hunting for Nuclear Radiation?

Drones flying low at night over New Jersey have ignited widespread speculation about their purpose, with some suggesting they are equipped with sensors to detect nuclear radiation.

Expert analysis supports this theory. John Ferguson, founder of Saxon Aerospace, believes the drones’ low-altitude, nocturnal flights indicate they may be designed to detect radioactive material, similar to past incidents involving drones searching for missing radioactive substances. Speculation has grown after an RF engineer proposed the drones might utilize advanced high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors, a technology used to identify radiation. These theories coincide with elevated radiation levels reported in New York City, adding to public concern.

Despite this, the Biden administration has dismissed the concerns, attributing the sightings to relaxed drone regulations or mistaken identification of aircraft. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has downplayed the events, offering reassurances that have failed to satisfy the public’s growing unease.

Critics argue that the administration’s lack of transparency echoes past failures to address public concerns until they were validated by later events. The administration’s refusal to acknowledge the possibility of nuclear-detection missions has only deepened mistrust and fueled calls for accountability.

The mystery of the New Jersey drones underscores the need for clarity. If these drones are indeed monitoring for radioactive threats, the public deserves to know. If not, a detailed and credible explanation is essential to quell speculation and rebuild trust. Without transparency, anxiety will only grow, leaving residents to wonder what is really happening in their skies.
