What is happening in the skies over New Jersey? No one knows who is willing to talk about it. At The New York Sun, Perry Chiaramonte reports:
Reports of a drone crash in New Jersey sparked a widespread search for the wreckage — further increasing the anxiety of residents in the Garden State who have been dealing with swarms of the unmanned aircraft hovering over the skies for weeks.
On Friday, a drone was reported to have crashed the night before in a field located near a Lowe’s home improvement store at Hillsborough, New Jersey sparking a search by local police and fire departments into the next day as onlookers gathered, according to New Jersey 101.5. As of Friday afternoon, the wreckage had not been found.
Meanwhile, a toy drone crashed in one Morris County town on Thursday, setting off a wave of panic.
The recreational unmanned drone plummeted from the sky into the backyard of one homeowner around 9 p.m. at Pequannock Township, leaving locals rattled.
“Holy s— just heard a police report that a lady saw a drone crash behind the power line behind her house and 10 more drones showed up,” one commenter on a post said about the incident on the “UFO’s” subreddit.
The incident even had Pequannock’s mayor, Ryan Herd, racing to the scene of the crash to get to the bottom of the mysterious sightings.
“Nobody knows whose drones are flying over us and what they’re flying over us for and where they’re taking off and landing,” he said. “Drones are flying over our houses, which is our private property. My family is here,”
Pequannock Township is located in leafy Morris County where many of the sightings have occurred.
“Last night, an investigation was conducted into a drone that came down in Pequannock Township in a residential area,” the Pequannock police captain, Robert Brown, said in a statement to The New York Sun. “The investigation revealed the drone to be a hobby or toy type drone, not a large commercial or military grade drone.”
The drone sightings have appeared to spread down the Eastern Seaboard, even spooking Governor Hogan of Maryland, who posted on X a video he took of a swarm of drones over his home.

Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.
