If you don’t know what it is, ruling out a threat seems premature, no???

[SteenyBean]

It’s so embarrassing… idk if I should laugh at how inept they are, or hide under my house and cry

[harvbegal]

Y'all ready for the overreaction where they outlaw all drones for civilian use?

[gordonshimm]

“Don’t worry, it’s not a threat, also they fly faster than our drones while outmaneuvering them, we don’t know what they are, who controls them, or what they’re doing.”

Got it.

This is such
a pathetic, weak response!!

[MarthaAnthony]

Something the size of an SUV flying over your house is a threat.

official government statement: ''nothing is there''

The 'homeland' does not seem very 'secure.'

This is one of the weirdest news stories I've ever seen

I live on the coast of the Delaware river and seen 2 military helicopters fly low and fast towards Jersey 20 minutes ago

Government: “you’re all hallucinating and seeing things, there are no drones flying over New Jersey, they’re airplanes”

[crimeshaveconsequences]

MY GOD THEY ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE NOT JUST NJ …. Florida, TX, OREGON. WHEN THEY CALL IN THE BOMB SQUAD AND HAZMAT TO THE CRASHED DRONE SITE are YALL CALLING US ALL LIARS?

[jaysonpida]

Smh....we're such a juvenile, moronic people at times.

[Riclmnopp]

Our military isn’t gonna shoot down our own military drones.

[justinclark]

It's crazy how it's been days and we still don't know

[wearethehaunted]

Ok. Maybe this will fix everyone’s neck. Instead of looking down at our phones, we’re all now looking up in the sky!!

The Military doesn't respond to their own weapon testing...
