Email A recent report, not yet independently confirmed, suggests that a U.S. defense contractor has admitted to being behind the mysterious drone and “UFO” incidents that stirred panic across New Jersey in late 2024. According to the report, a representative from the company revealed at a military drone summit in Alabama that the sightings were part of covert test flights conducted near Picatinny Arsenal under a classified federal program. The prototype drone, described as a silent 20-foot quad-wing craft capable of vanishing from certain angles, was reportedly being evaluated for stealth and maneuverability. The alleged tests sparked viral videos and speculation nationwide at the time, with officials initially attributing the sightings to recreational drones. The U.S. Army has not commented, and federal confirmation of the company’s claim has not been issued. If verified, the disclosure would explain one of New Jersey’s most widely debated “UFO” mysteries — revealing the objects as part of a secret defense project rather than anything extraterrestrial.
