Mysterious UFO drones have been spotted flying over New York City – after weeks of being photographed in New Jersey.
Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella confirmed that the peculiar objects had been seen flying above Howland Hook Marine Terminal and the West Shore on Staten Island earlier this week.
In a letter addressed to the FAA and FBI requesting an investigation, Fossella called the situation ‘bizarre’, according to PIX11.
‘It is odd and quite bizarre that nobody can figure out who is flying these drones, where they are coming from, and their purpose.
‘It is not just a bizarre situation, but also a concerning one, as it seems these drones can potentially become a danger to personal safety.’
He also stated that he was worried about the drones’ ability to impede life-saving care in medical emergencies – especially over the two hospital systems on Staten Island.
‘It was recently reported that, during a medical emergency resulting from a crash in Branchburg, New Jersey, the presence of these drones prevented a medevac helicopter from being able to transport a seriously injured patient to the hospital.
‘We hope that such an investigation may shed light on what these drones are doing, where they are coming from and how to mitigate the risks they may pose on public safety.’
Yesterday, new footage of at least five or possibly six of the unidentified drones was captured in a 50-second cell phone video in New Jersey, which one commenter declared was ‘the clearest video yet.’
One drone, heard roaring in the skies as it moved through the darkness, appeared to have a cluster of white lights on its underbelly and red lights blinking at the tips of its wings and tail.
Another drone came into frame that resembled a classic ‘black triangle’ UFO or the triangular TR-3B, which beamed bright white lights from its nose, wingtips and tail.
Since mid-November, a wave of unexplained drone sightings above central Jersey has left both law enforcement and the general public watching the skies, hunting for clues on what these mysterious night flights might be.
Governor Phil Murphy has attempted to calm residents claiming these true UFOs pose ‘no known threat to the public at this time,’ but FBI and local police are actively investigating.
Concerns have heightened over the proximity of these drone-like UFOs to President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course, US military research facility Picatinny Arsenal and critical local infrastructure.
‘Water reservoirs, electric transmission lines, rail stations, police departments, and military installations’ have all had the UFOs roaming above them in recent weeks, according to the chief of police for the New Jersey borough of Florham Park.
‘Their presence appears nefarious in nature,’ the police chief added.
But the New Jersian who posted the new footage of these drones online maintains the answer lies within America’s own classified world of black budget projects.
‘Seems like they want them to be seen,’ TikTok user @_bucky13 commented under his phone video of the eerie UFOs, captioned
‘Mysterious drones spotted all over New Jersey.’
‘I think they are trying to scare Russia by demonstrating some secret weapons,’ he wrote.
The camera was pointed to the sky when the drones came into view.
‘There they are! There are more in New Jersey!,’ he can be heard shouting in his handheld video — as an unsettled woman off-camera says, ‘We shouldn’t be outside.’
‘They look like an f***ing triangle! They look like a triangle,’ he said in disbelief, as je spotted a triangular-shaped drone cruising into the night.
A later UFO or drone seemed to hover stationary beyond the tree line, lit up with multiple lights that pulsed bright enough to produce a lens flare effect.
‘Are you freaking kidding me right now,’ one woman can be heard saying of the craft.
Commenters of UFO video joined him in his suspicion that the objects may ultimately prove to be top secret US military craft, even as the TikToker can be heard marveling in his video that ‘an F-16 just flew over’ in hot pursuit of the unidentified craft.
‘Looks like a military drone,’ one Tik Tok user said, with another chiming in ‘Definitely government made drones.’
Many stated with confidence that the triangle craft was the legendary and still unconfirmed TR-3B ‘Black Manta’ anti-gravity spy plane, the alleged follow-up to the equally unconfirmed TR-3A, both claimed to have been made by defense contractor Northrop in the early 1990s.
‘Those are TR-3B government drones,’ one poster said. ‘Look them up, they’re pretty cool.’
A December 1991 cover story in Popular Mechanics was one of the first mainstream media reports to allege that the TR-3A existed as a highly advanced ‘tactical reconnaissance vehicle’ eyewitnesses said was 42-feet long with a 60-foot wingspan.
Others have speculated that the UFOs above New Jersey might be an update to US defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s original ‘Darkstar’ that flew in 1996.
