In recent weeks, numerous reports of mysterious drone sightings have emerged across New Jersey and other East Coast states, causing public concern and prompting federal investigations.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has responded by imposing temporary flight restrictions over critical infrastructure in New Jersey, effective until January 17, 2025, threatening “deadly force” against aircraft violating the zones if they pose an “imminent security threat.”
Despite these measures, federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have stated that the majority of these sightings involve lawful drone operations or misidentified manned aircraft.
They assert that there is no credible evidence suggesting a threat to national security or public safety.
Mike Glover, a former drone operator for both defense research lab DARPA and the US military, has warned that the recent wave of mysterious drone sightings over the U.S. could be part of a larger, more sinister agenda.
“In my career, I flew drones, a lot of drones. Almost every drone in the inventory, I was qualified to fly. I taught people how to fly the drones, and I worked a couple of special programs with DARPA on flying drones for Task Force… If a foreign adversary was doing a covert up to surveil, they’re not going to have flashing and illuminating lights,” Glover said during an interview with former Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf on Ironclad.
The broader concern voiced by Glover and others is the potential that these drone sightings are being used as a media diversion. Glover suggested that the intense focus on drones might be concealing other critical issues, such as growing tensions in the Middle East or covert military operations in Syria.
Glover: The concerning component to me is how much the national legacy corporate media—I want to cover all those bases because they deserve all those titlings. There’s always an agenda, and they have only a certain segment of time to be able to put out information. And most of that is propaganda. It happens to be propaganda. It’s one of the reasons why me and you had conversations about starting this show: to get to the ground truth and not tell people how to think, but explore opinions and options other than the narrative.
On the narrative, everybody across the board is talking the same outrage. Like, what is going on here? What is this? Congressional hearings, all this outrage about a particular story that’s covered the headlines and taken up all the time blocks. The first thing I asked myself is, what are we not talking about?
And then I looked a little bit into it and some of the elements—for example, Iran, which is apparently a couple of weeks from getting a nuclear bomb. And so in that window, under the Biden administration, with an interview I saw with John Kirby, it was like, are you guys going to allow that to happen?
They’re like, absolutely. That will not happen under our watch. You still got a month and some change.
So, if that’s the case and there’s a potential strike that’s going to take place, and that should be the headline, and we don’t want to telegraph that, then maybe the national media across the board, from production notes disseminated through email, however that works, is pushing this narrative and this story to distract from what actually is going to happen here in the near future.
I mean, what’s not been in the headlines is the strikes we’ve done in Syria against ISIS. Almost every night, we’ve been striking them in the desert. What’s not in the headlines is Al-Baghdadi’s, one of his guys creates this terrorist organization and then takes over the entire country of Syria…
So, I just hear all this and I’m like, we’re being distracted from something. Maybe it’s deliberate, maybe it’s not, but it seems like it is because it’s distracting.
