Lawrence's 16 help Rhode Island take down Central Connecticut 77-69Donald Trump has voiced his demand for clarity as perplexing drone sightings persist across the United States, leaving authorities baffled. The President-elect took to Truth Social, stating on Friday: "Mystery sightings all over the country. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge? I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!" Commencing last month, most of the unusual drone sightings have been reported in New Jersey , r eports Daily Express UK. Mystery New Jersey drones could be Mexican cartel posing major safety threat Origin of mystery drones revealed by UFO expert as he warns of 'security threat' Locals have reported multiple drones nocturnally navigating the skies around important sites such as the Picatinny Arsenala crucial military research baseand Trump's own Bedminster golf course. Some local reports indicate these drones are unusually large, even SUV-sized, which surpasses typical recreational drone dimensions. Public reaction is mixed; Governor Phil Murphy assures residents that the drone activity poses no risk, while others maintain skepticism. Congressman Andy Kim raised alarm by posting a drone video taken near Round Valley Reservoir and commented: "This has gone on for weeks. It's hard to understand how, with the technology we have, we aren't able to track these devices to determine origin." In response to heightening anxieties, Homeland Security officials convened with community leaders to deliberate on the matter earlier this week. Nonetheless, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Homeland Security Secretary, has brushed off serious concerns, hinting that the reported drone incidents might simply be misidentified sightings. DON'T MISS: Mystery New Jersey drones not from Iranian 'mothership' - Pentagon Mystery New Jersey drones should be shot down, senator demands Concerns grow over mystery New Jersey drones after they evade detection Mayorkas said: "I joined local authorities last night on a mission to track down a drone hovering over New Jersey , and this is what we witnessed. We headed to Round Valley Reservoir, where an officer pointed out lights moving low above the treetops." He added: "The lights alternated between solid white and flashes of red and green." He ended with his summation: "We have not seen any unusual activity. We know of no threat. We know of no nefarious activity. Technology has not confirmed any drone sightings." Some reports, Mayorkas explained, turned out to be small aircraft rather than drones. However, with a surge in sightings nationwide - from Washington DC to California - skepticism remains high. The FBI has initiated an investigation and is urging residents to submit any evidence, such as photos or videos. Witnesses shared their encounters on social media, with one claiming to have spotted a drone near LaGuardia Airport, raising concerns about its proximity to the flight path. The Pentagon maintains that there is no threat to national security but remains unable to explain the origin or operators of the drones. As officials continue their search for answers, conspiracy theories have emerged to fill the information gap. Some theorists have linked the sightings to "Project Blue Beam," an age-old conspiracy claiming governments plan to stage celestial events or even alien invasions to manipulate public opinion. The debate and the mystery surrounding the drone sightings continue. While these ideas may seem outlandish, they have gained momentum online, driven by frustration over the absence of official explanations.
SOUTH LEBANON - The Lebanese army and UNIFIL have completed preparations for a gradual deployment in Khiyam after clearing it of unexploded ordnance and redeploying in the checkpoints that had been evacuated before the Israeli ground incursion. Following the retreatment of the Israeli occupation forces from the outskirts of the border city towards Sarda in the Wazzani plain, dozens of families are waiting for the moment to reenter their war-ravaged city to retrieve the bodies of martyrs from the rubble and rebuild their homes. The redeployment of the Lebanese army in northern Khiyam coincided with an Israeli Hermes drone martyring 3 citizens who were checking their homes. Najib Mikati, the caretaker Lebanese Prime Minister, has described the attack as “a blatant betrayal that violates all the pledges made by the parties that sponsored the ceasefire agreement. The United States and France are required to declare a clear position on what happened and to curb the Israeli aggression.” The steadfast town of Khiyam has an honorable history of defending the Lebanese territory and confronting the Israeli enemy. Every inch of the land in Khiyam tells a story of heroism and the name of an honorable martyr is engraved on every stone. The city has suffered greatly as a result of the Israeli occupation since the 1982 invasion, when the enemy turned its military barracks into detention centers, and practiced the most heinous forms of torture until the liberation in 2000. During the 2006 war, the Khiyam plain was the cemetery of the Merkava. Khiyam proved to be resistant to defeat. Since October 2023, the heroic scene has been repeated as Khiyam has sacrificed its best heroes for the sake of Palestine. After Khiyam, the Lebanese army is expected to be redeployed in all eastern border towns as the enemy postpones the implementation of the truce within 60 days. It is doing what it failed to do during the war as it continues to bombard homes. In 72 hours, the Israeli enemy destroyed 80% of the capabilities of the Syrian army, which will need an entire generation to rebuild. Will the Lebanese army be able to protect Lebanon? It is not surprising that the Lebanese army will fail to do so as the Zionist-American colonialism does not want powerful armies in the region, plain and simple. Hence, Observers believe that the re-deployment of the Lebanese army will not prevent the continuation of Israeli violations. Since the withdrawal of the Syrian army from Lebanon in 2005, Lebanon’s pro-US political factions have prevented the Lebanese army from cooperating with any country that Washington does not like. The best evidence of this is what happened in 2008 when Vladimir Putin decided to give Lebanon MiG-29 fighter jets, tanks, and artillery with weapons and ammunition. Washington, however, quickly thwarted it along with various other offers. Instead of confronting the US-Israeli hegemony, Lebanese Army Commander Joseph Aoun presents himself as a presidential candidate who seeks not to anger Washington.
