Mystery UFO drone crash landed???

- Start date
Wow. Don't see anything in the news, except the same stories about the mystery drone sightings...
I really haven't followed this story, skimmed through an article the other day but (IIRC) all the drone sightings were in North Jersey and the NYC Metro area. Are there credible reports of the same kind of thing in the Pines?
Who is "Jersey Coast Emergency News"? Did a search and aside from this, all I could find was their own content on Facebook, Instagram, X, tik tok, etc. (places I never go myself). Did they really call it "Lebanon State Forest"? I mean, I might say that at times, just for fun, but wouldn't expect to see that in a report from law enforcement.
[edit] Looks like there have been sightings in South Jersey now. Still not seeing any reports of a crash though.

Whatever they are, would put "UFO" pretty low on the list of probabilities (I think we're supposed to say "UAP" now, actually
). Would be more concerned that it's some nation with bad intentions testing our ability to track and disable a fleet of small drones. OTOH, if they actually are the "size of an SUV" as claimed, you'd think the military would be able to track that which might make you wonder if this is some kind of exercise?
Whole thing is pretty weird.

Large drones with blinking lights now spotted over South Jersey communities
Evesham police said Thursday night that they were "aware of the recent surge in drone activity" in the skies above the Burlington County township.

Well, this could be the answer.
"Some social media accounts also shared a Facebook post by the satirical site Jersey Coast Emergency News, which said state police was searching for a drone that had crashed in the Pine Barrens."
Not to worry, Fox News is on the case!
"One family told Fox News that while a drone hovered above them, their car's clock changed time and only changed back as they drove off."
As this article says, another video was posted of a fire near a road but it seems questionable.
"Newsweek contacted the Pine Beach Police Department, where the incident is reported to have happened, and the New Jersey State Police for comment via email. While authorities have acknowledged the drones' recent presence, there has been no official confirmation that one crashed."
Did mystery drone crash in New Jersey? What we know
An unverified video posted on social media allegedly shows a flaming field following a mysterious drone crash.

I like this guy... Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn "Honestly you don't see a lot of that in TN because everyone has a shotgun".

The Jersey Devil, the tale of a viral story from 110 years ago
Did reports of the Jersey Devil really cause a panic in 1909, or was it mostly made up?
www.inquirer.com
We needed a place to build and store our scenery when I was working at the Opera Company in 1995 and through a contact on the board of directors were able to lease the sub-basement of the abandoned Bulletin Building, across from 30th Street Station. Huge, cavernous space that was very weird to work in (I believe the Bulletin went bankrupt in the 80's). We were the only people in the whole building and I don't think any fresh air had made it into that space since the 80's! There was a huge freight elevator to move things down from street level.
We were later approached by the national tour of Phantom of the Opera, that was coming to the Forrest Theater and needed a place to store all their shipping crates. Now, this wasn't just a few things, it was over 30 big semi-trailers full of road boxes! We worked out a deal and a big crew hauled it all down to the sub-basement, one elevator at a time. This was just one little corner of the stuff (you can see the Phantom logo on a couple of the road boxes).
A few months later, the big freight elevator broke and the landlord wasn't interested in fixing it. The Phantom management was starting to panic, worried they wouldn't be able to get all that stuff out when they left town. But we came up with a solution, there was a railroad siding inside the sub-basement where they originally delivered the huge rolls of newsprint for the paper, but no direct access from our space. Our crew sledge-hammered down a concrete block dividing wall and the trucks were able to drive over the train tracks to load everything out from there! A few months later we leased a more conventional space at the old Frankford Arsenal and moved our own operations there.
Sorry... getting really far off-topic now, but that mention of the Bulletin brought back a lot of memories!

This is what I get from that article link...
There's certainly a lot of misinformation and confusion about these drones, so yeah, I see your point. But (IMO) it's something a little more real than the Jersey Devil this time.
"Picatinny Arsenal released a list Monday of the dates of 18 sightings, including the 11 confirmed incidents. “Confirmed” means a police officer or security guard “visibly witnessed a drone” while or after receiving the report, military officials said."
"The first confirmed sighting at Picatinny witnessed by a police or security officer at the arsenal was Nov. 13, five days earlier than previously reported, Army officials said Monday."
N.J. military base had 11 ‘confirmed’ mystery drone sightings, Army says
The "source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown," military officials said.

CNN just did a story on this, the Governor said he spent most of yesterday in contact with Homeland Security, the White House and other federal agencies but nobody had any information. This is really crazy - by the Army's report above, the first confirmed sighting at Picatinny was almost a month ago now. If it's really true that they don't know anything (big IF there), does that mean small drones could drop explosives on a military base for a month and we would have no idea who was responsible or how to stop it?
Then there's this....
"More than a dozen drones followed a 47-foot Coast Guard boat Sunday night, while law enforcement tracked another 50 drones coming onto land from the ocean at Island State Park, Rep. Chris Smith said. Meanwhile, an FBI assistant director admitted that the agency doesn’t know who is behind the unidentified drones that are flying over New Jersey."

Just be sure that it's really a "mystery drone"... pretty sure there are laws against shining "powerful spotlights" on airplanes. 
Not to mention laws against blowing things "out of the sky", off the road or wherever, just because you don't know what it is.Just be sure that it's really a "mystery drone"... pretty sure there are laws against shining "powerful spotlights" on airplanes.
