There's no way this is aliens or foreign military.
If that's the case, they'd be shot down, and the streets around the area would be swarming with National Guard or Military personnel.
I don't see any reports of New Jersey having National Guard or Military on the streets.
Conclusion: Its not aliens or foreign military.
Most likely its military contractors testing new technology.
Someone is obviously doing something, but once it hit the news it all got blown out of proportion. The fucking media is still reporting that ex-Maryland Governor Larry Hogan saw drones there, even though the video he posted is shit and everyone realizes they are just stars.
It seems like the kind of stunt Musk would do....
To me it looks someone made fake video on social media, others joined and made other fakes, many states looking at the sky and also recorded planes thinking they are drones.
It looks like the whole event only exists on the social media.
I think some people believe that life is like a movie and any remotely weird thing that happens which they can't explain off-hand must be a sign of something extraordinary. It also makes great clickbait. The video I saw was pretty blurry but without even knowing the context of the video I knew it was someone messing around with a drone.
Why would aliens, Iranians, or the secret branch of the government use navigation lights?
Exactly! Everyone knows alien spacecraft use Vorblorbox X-45J premium hypno-lights, not Earthling navigation lights.
(Jokes aside, agreed!)
That goes without saying. The X-45J model has superior phase shifting capabilities for the low price of 45,000 Galactic Union Credits.
To be fair, a top secret black project being forced to use navigation lights is exactly the sort of bureaucracy I would expect from the US government.
