Comment on We'll be seeing an uptick in UFO sightings soon

Aside from that one time the Goodyear blimp in NJ took a 5 month break in 2020 and then showed up to the first Giants game and then people filmed the UFO.

NJ also had a mass panic last year with “drones”. Absolutely a UFO rash by real definitions, not the UFO=alien version. Those people went outside at night and saw distant planes landing for the first time. There’s what, 4 major airports that put descent over the state? I’m sure there were some drones (something about [training for?] lost radioactive material) but it was definitely less than what was reported. Cell phone video was an awful option for aircraft at night but everywhere.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had approved the drones for research and many also belonged to people in the area, President Donald Trump’s press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at her first White House briefing on Tuesday.

  The NJ MAGAs were big mad that even their donny couldn’t tell them it was “suv-sized drones” all along. And man, the people that saw actual planes, real planes, plain planes, and called them holograms… I ate so much popcorn watching that fiasco unfold. So many grainy videos, so many spooked people livestreaming, so many hobby drones, so many cgi/Ai videos, and the orbs! So many orb videos from people who’ve never focused a camera at night, so many existing conspiriscists finding their place in the limelight. That was a riot.
