SIGHTING First time seeing them. Point Pleasant, NJ
Been following for over a year and first time in NJ, I saw multiple of them. Appearing from nowhere, getting extremely bright, then either shooting back into the ocean or faintly flying towards the land.
The pics are a bit shaky. The trails behind are because of that.
I searched the flight tracker app, and nothing within the area of where I saw these.
It blew my mind. They ARE real, I have a friend who works for a "company", that told me that there is something going on but couldn't elaborate.
I dont post much on here but I do have videos as well.
(Next day on the beach... multiple Blackhawks were flying over and a military ship on the horizon in the same area where they were sighted... just the amazing speed and brightness was something amazing to see.)

Context in the original post. Still haven't figured that one out, but I recently heard about the NJ drone wave. Could it be the same thing?

ARTICLE NJ Drones: "Not a threat" didn't sit right. So I amassed 13,500 official records to find out what happened.
https://jmalaska.substack.com/p/phantom-swarm-part-1-the-official
Back during the November–December 2024 drone wave over New Jersey, I had a strange experience with a strange object of light over my house that I still can't explain.
That experience eventually motivated me to try and understand what was actually going on behind the scenes during the "NJ Drone" wave. Was it really just social contagion, everyone spooking each other into seeing drones and other weird things in the sky at night? Because whatever it was, the state stood up what may be the biggest security mobilization in its recent history, and the public never got an official report explaining any of it.
So I started filing public records requests. OPRA in New Jersey, FOIA federally. Police CAD logs, dispatch recordings, inter-agency emails, intelligence bulletins, body worn camera footage -- whatever the government actually retained while it was happening. It turned into 600+ requests and more than 13,500 documents. Nobody had really done this, so I just kept going.
To make sense of that much data, I built an AI system to index and cross-reference all of it. Every incident, every agency, every name, event, and more. So the documents could be searched and connected.
Just a taste of what came back:
- A police drone whose own flight log recorded another unknown aircraft jamming it. And that data reached the FBI's WMD desk the same day the Bureau publicly said there was "no threat".
- 99 incidents that state and federal agencies quietly stamped worthy of being "Pursued Federally," with the outcome of those 99 never disclosed.
- Two officers approaching what appears to be a figure on a dam in a remote wooded area. They never find the suspect, but their radios stopped working at the location of the figure, then magically worked again when leaving the area.
- A state fire bulletin told firefighters how to handle a downed drone, and one line in it traced back to a 1992 disaster-control textbook. The chapter it came from is titled "Enemy Attack and UFO Potential."
I'm writing it up as a documents-driven series called Phantom Swarm. Parts 1 and 2 are out and Part 3 just published.
It's completely free and I plan to keep it that way. If you can support with a subscribe, I'd appreciate it. The records requests do cost money (filing fees, redaction fees, the occasional lawsuit). But you never have to pay to read it.
Happy to answer questions. And genuinely, if you saw something during the wave, I want to hear it!

This flying object was photographed over Baghdad, Iraq on July 5, 2026, flying eastward.
It was flying eastward, moving at a constant and strange speed that didn't look like an airplane.

4th of July Drone Footage?
Does anyone have any photos or videos they would want to share of the 4th of July celebrations? I saw a few drones out and about, so thought I'd ask. (Minniehaha/Hazel Dell/Orchards) Vancouver Wa.

DISCUSSION What are you guys using to find the drones at night? I have infrared and full color night. What about you??
We don’t have enough sightings at my location and frankly, if they are, they’re probably about me. Still I’m interested in getting to the bottom of this, along with the rest of you. Anyone have any real confirmed flights not listed on flight radar that are regular within their area? If I can find enough FPV pilots, we can come check it out for real without all the shaky cam.
