New Jersey sheriff: Police should shoot down drones | Banfield

Sightings of mysterious drones and unknown objects continue in New Jersey, which is leading some local officials to talk about taking action on their own rather than waiting for answers from the FBI. NewsNation's Rich McHugh joins "Banfield' to discuss.

Thank god local officials are taking this seriously.

What's the point in changing drone laws, these aren't drones that any person can buy. There isn't anyone that owns a 6ft drone. These aren't commercially available drones

Now this is what journalism used to be like. Bravo NewsNation, especially the brave reporter. Subscribed!

Drone expert thinks the footage is an airplane and the aviation expert thinks it's a drone. Translation: Drone expert says it's not a drone and the airplane expert says it's not an airplane.

I am in South Africa, these have been in our skies since January this year. I live in a township, so they think we don't notice. There is also a star that is not a star it's been there for 3months now

Not saying it’s aliens. But it’s aliens. 👽

[honeypie]

The entire government needs to go to prison. Total BS!

[Silkdlldldo]

This is why people don't pay taxes

[levega]

It’s obvious the government knows what they are. Now, the fact that they don’t tell the public why they are buzzing around is the real concern. My theory is, they are looking for someone/something in that area. Or it’s some sort of government PYOPS to take our eyes off other issues.

[toms]

they are mixing in drones with real ufos to fool you haha 🤣

Please Don't come after us professional commercial drone pilots, there's roughly 50, 000 FAA licensed commercial drone pilots in the US and our businesses are on the line here and we follow the letter of law to a T when it comes to flying because our very livelihood depends on it.

DJI, the company that makes up about 95%+ of all of our commercial drones here in the US (to include police and fire departments) literally has a "FlySafe Database" which provides a geofence around restricted areas, my drone will literally stop like it hit a wall if I try to go anywhere I'm not allowed to. Ok 1 occasion I couldn't even take off because I was just inside of the geofence of a small sized airport.
DJI is the only company that does this mind you.
A drone ban or more restrictions just would put me, a recently retired army vet, out of business along with thousands more.
This would affect everyone as drones are used in agriculture, energy, construction, utility, real estate, etc. so restrictions on us professional FAA licensed drone pilots would just hurt our ability to do our job. Food would go up, energy would go up, gas would go up..

These are NOT COMMERCIAL DRONES. The largest we have access to is the DJI Agras series (T50, T100) and their Max flight time is 6 to 9 MINUTES.
I highly doubt this is a group of hobbiest/recreational drone pilots also, again the technology in our industry is just not there.
This must be military, UAP, or the second coming of Christ.

When did we start calling them drones and stop calling them UAPs? There may be some drones but they’re certainly not all drones.

[RROR]

😂 this is such a stupid problem to have lmao... I feel like we are in a sci-fi movie 🍿🎥

[Russojap]

No agency or individual has access to a searchlight to positively identity what these things are? 🤔🤷🤦

[nettlelee]

If you do manage to peeve one of these off you might not make it out in one piece. But brass is no threat to them. They have antigravity fields, are 3D projections, or are just straight-up balls of plasma.

[MELOVE-zk]

It has to be our Government. I saw them in August, September. No one ever looks up. When you are walking or driving you look down or straight ahead.

[kirvin]

Over a military base and the Government does nothing. WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT KNOW????

[niccidentith]

In New Zealand we have "airforce our team and locals would get this crap embarrassing

[harryhorn]

There should be a record of all commercial flights over New Jersey. All registered drones should be tracked to their place of origin. Why are the authorities not doing this?
