Last night, beginning at around 9:45 pm, I personally witnessed (and videoed) what appeared to be dozens of large drones in the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland (25 miles from our nation’s capital). I observed the activity for approximately 45 minutes.

Like many who have observed these drones, I do not know if this increasing activity over our skies is a threat to public safety or national security. But the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with the complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the federal government. The government has the ability to track these from their point of origin but has mounted a negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren’t getting any.

We are being told that neither the White House, the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea what they are, where they came from, or who has launched or is controlling them–and that they pose no threat.

That response is entirely unacceptable. I join with the growing bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that the federal government immediately address this issue. The American people deserve answers and action now.

Original Title: TheGoodTroubleShow: "Sources have informed us that the Biden Administration is in complete meltdown within the White House as they try to mitigate the New Jersey drone crisis. They are lying about what they know.". This flap is bubbling to the surface and becoming a spy balloon incident on steroids


From GoodTroubleShow

Sources have informed #TheGoodTroubleShow that the Biden Administration is in complete meltdown within the @WhiteHouse as they try to mitigate the New Jersey drone crisis.

The Biden Administration, particularly National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and The National Security Council, are lying to Americans about what they know. It's a crisis of their own making.

I hope this is true. GoodTroubleShow in the past has had breaking stories that turned out to be accurate.

If it is true, it means they are not just lying about what the drones are, but also that they are completely incapable of doing something to stop it. If they were capable, they would avoid this 'meltdown'. That would suggest that its not some secret government project.

Lets hope this ongoing drone/UAP event becomes front page news soon and gets the attention it deserves.

This message is in response to the increasing number of posts expressing fear, anxiety and other signs of mental distress with regard to the recent UAP/drone flaps.

In times of uncertainty and highly publicized news events, users may notice increased anxiety or begin to feel overwhelmed with the flood of information and activity on social media, including r/UFOs.

These feelings can fuel information burnout, where the sheer volume of news and analysis becomes too much to process. While this type of response is natural, managing our emotions and setting healthy boundaries is important for our overall well-being.

Here are some tips if you're experiencing heightened anxiety, burnout, information overload or otherwise struggling right now:

  • Acknowledge your feelings. Anxiety, fear, and stress are normal responses to uncertainty. Allowing yourself to feel these emotions without judgment is the first step toward managing them effectively.
  • Consider limiting your media consumption and time spent analyzing sightings, news reports and public statements. Remember to take breaks, and designate specific times of the day to check updates to avoid constant exposure.
  • Engage in activities that promote relaxation and well-being. Exercise, meditation, and hobbies reduce stress and can provide a distraction. Connecting with loved ones, even virtually, can offer emotional support and perspective.

If you're finding that coping is a challenge, consider talking to a mental health professional. Therapists and counselors are trained to provide support and strategies for managing stress and anxiety in difficult times.

While we are all here because of a shared interest in UFOs and UAP, it's important to prioritize mental health. By setting boundaries and practicing self-care and compassion, it is possible to navigate uncertain times with resilience and strength.

We have Langley, Lakenheath/Mildenhall/Fairford, now Rammstein. That’s without recent goings on in Oregon and New Jersey - where Picatinny and Earle have confirmed “drone” incursions even if the public reporting is shoddy. With all of the attention to what’s happening in NJ, this confirmation in Germany is inevitably going to get tied in and folks will be asking questions.

New drone overflights alarm authorities

Status: 13.12.2024 13:42 hrs

Since the end of November, suspicious drone flights have apparently been detected over industrial plants and the US base in Ramstein. The authorities are investigating, but are largely powerless so far

By Manuel Bewarder, NDR/WDR, and Florian Flade, WDR

The drones first appeared in northern Germany in August. Over the ChemCoast Park Brunsbüttel industrial park, for example, they flew over a shut-down nuclear power plant, an LNG terminal, locks and the Kiel Canal. The aircraft were fast, sometimes flying at more than 100 kilometers per hour. They were obviously not the usual aircraft used by amateur pilots. Rather, according to security experts, they were military drones, including fixed-wing aircraft with fixed wings, which are well suited to faster speeds and larger areas.

Since the end of November, according to research by WDR and NDR, there have once again been unusual drone sightings, this time over petrochemical plants in southern Germany and over the Ramstein military airfield in Rhineland-Palatinate, the headquarters of the US Air Force in Europe.

Drones have reportedly been spotted several times over the BASF site in Ludwigshafen in recent weeks. As in Brunsbüttel in the summer, the overflights also take place in the dark, according to the research. The drones are also said to be significantly larger than standard commercial aircraft flown by hobby pilots, which are otherwise repeatedly observed. The company did not respond to an inquiry at short notice.

The Rhineland-Palatinate State Office of Criminal Investigation reportedly set up a special organizational unit (BAO) last week to investigate the background to the drone overflights. However, as in northern Germany, the authorities have not yet succeeded in determining who is flying these suspicious drones and where they are being launched from.

Live briefing just ended in NYC. They said it cannot be a commercial drone because FAA regulations forbid commercial drones to fly 1/2 hour after sunset to sunrise. They said so it has to be either our own governemnt or a foreign government. Pentagon said it’s neither of those. What other options are left?

Liberty Wing is an aircraft enthusiast who has been filming activity at the base for years from the viewing area at the end of the runway. A few hours after he posted one of the first videos of the Lakenheath “Drones” he had his account deleted. Fortunately several people like me had watched it and some recorded it, so news spread. Today another account Project Blue Book has also been deleted just 10 hours after posting a history of what has been going on!

This is being reported on Twitter so I don't yet know if this is confirmed but a man is claiming that his friend who was trying to pilot his drone towards these mystery "drones" in New Jersey lost the ability to fly his drone and then the FBI came knocking on his door and not only wanted to arrest him, but they wanted the drone. 🤔

The confused and contradictory government response, the efforts to downplay it, the weird Reddit comments in COVID related subs….

That it was from a pangolin tor something and definitely, definitely not the bio facility in Wuhan working with this virus.

Then the government said no one needed N95s which coincidentally no one had. That masks didn’t do anything. That you could only get it if someone coughed on you in close proximity.

Later it came out that the government statements were entirely incorrect and frankly, insulting. Defied ordinary logic and common sense. Totally discounted the experience of lots of Americans.

They’re just hoping this goes away. The Kirby statement yesterday was laughable.

I feel like I know where this is going.

BERLIN, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Unidentified drones have been sighted over sensitive industry locations and the United States' Ramstein Air Base in Germany in recent weeks, the Spiegel news magazine reported on Friday, citing a confidential report by German security authorities. The report flags numerous drone sightings made in the evening hours of Dec. 3 and 4 over the air base, according to Spiegel.

Observations:

  • 80% of the videos posted are clearly - and I mean clearly - planes or helicopters
  • 10% are so bad you can’t tell what’s going on
  • 5% are interesting but still not clearly identifiable
  • 5% are UAPish
  • I didn’t see any that are clearly identifiable as terrestrial drones

The biggest thing I took away is how shockingly bad people are at identifying planes. Like “don’t you ever look up at the sky?” bad. It’s no wonder Kirby said many of the reports are manned aircraft. But “many” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and intentionally leaves out the “few,” especially given the broader context of confirmed sightings reported by (presumably) credible observers at Picatinny and Earle, USCG reporting, credible LEOs and statements by NJ Gov re: “going dark.”

There is also a heavy dose of conspiratorial talk in there, chemtrails, etc…the standard fodder. It’s basically the worst of this sub with a smaller dose of rationality, logic or skepticism.

My takeaway? There’s definitely something going on. But you also have a lot of conspiratorial thinkers and untrained observers who don’t know approach patterns, navigational lights, routine military ops and frankly obviously identifiable planes.

It’s a classic flap. Something weird happens and gets muddied with a bunch of nonsense. I suggest keeping a level head and pushing for real answers rather than accepting an “all is fine but we don’t know anything” attitude, while also aggressively debunking things that are obvious attempts to distract from the core facts at hand, namely the numerous military installations and trained observers who aren’t going to misidentify a CRJ or 737 as a drone or pre-planned live-fire exercises as drone lasers.
