United States: Drones, UFOs… Faced with the strange aerial ballet in the sky of New Jersey, “the authorities are lost”
Thousands of reports of strange nocturnal aerial activity have been received by authorities in the US state of New Jersey in recent weeks
The Pentagon has confirmed that the mysterious drones appearing across the globe are NOT of earthly origin. They are not foreign adversaries—these UFOs are operating freely across our skies, even hovering over military bases and nuclear sites…

The essentials
• In New
Jersey, on the east coast of the United States, reports of unidentified flying
objects (UFOs) have been increasing for a little over a month.
• While the
Washington Post is concerned with drones and a new risk of "collective
panic" around UFOs, other media outlets highlight the silence of the
authorities who do not seem capable of providing reliable and verified
information around these events.
• Since the
end of the 1940s, stories of UFOs have occasionally fascinated people, both across
the Atlantic and in the Land of Enlightenment.

United States: Drones, UFOs… Faced with the strange aerial ballet in the sky of New Jersey, “the authorities are lost”
At night, the sky over New Jersey, located on the east coast
of the United States , lights up with a strange ballet of aircraft . In recent
weeks, hundreds of reports have poured in, with residents worried about these
nocturnal choreographies. Faced with questions from the public, the response
from the authorities remains incomplete. While they mention devices that pose
"no credible threat", they do not have a clear answer to give the
public.
To the point of annoying… Even members of Congress. “You’re
telling me we don’t know what these drones are in the skies over New Jersey?”,
Republican Tony Gonzales, elected to the House of Representatives, was
indignantly confronting Robert Wheeler Junior , a member of the FBI , last
Tuesday. “The United States authorities are probably themselves lost. In the
Hudson Valley in 1984, many people reported seeing strange lights and no one
was able to explain it,” recalls Pierre Lagrange , sociologist and
anthropologist, associate researcher at the EHESS and author of Did the War of
the Worlds Take Place? (Robert Lafont, 2005).
From fairies to aliens
According to Robert Wheeler Junior, the authorities received
no less than 3,000 reports related to these unidentified flying objects (UFOs)
in a single week. While some people are wondering and talking about
"UFOs" whose true nature the American authorities are hiding, Pierre
Lagrange reminds us that "UFOs are above all a "popular
disbelief", not a popular belief". The majority of the public
considers, in fact, that they are myths or explainable events whose origin is
not yet known.
But in the United States, "the development of aviation
and aerospace, at the cutting edge, stimulates the imagination of the
population who sometimes see a connection with extraterrestrials",
underlines Thomas Michaud, researcher on the links between science fiction and
innovations. "Before, people believed in fairies, ogres or unicorns. Some
people already had fun making photo montages in the 19th century to make people
believe in the existence of fairies. By dint of discovering our earth, we
understood that it was a matter of the imagination but today, it is space that
we do not know very well", says the author of La science-fiction
institutionnelle (L'Harmattan, 2023).
The mystery of military activities
In addition, the government's secret military activities
worry many citizens who often link them to these types of events. In a post on
Reddit , an Internet user thus raises the possibility that these drones are
"NHI", an acronym that could be translated as "no human
involved", thus implying an extraterrestrial origin. However, he ends his
publication by assuring that, in his opinion, "the most likely
scenario" is that they are "
advanced American drones ".
"Historically, there have been 'black programs' in the
United States with military testing programs that have swallowed up colossal
sums. The F-117 [a ground attack aircraft] was already about ten years old when
the general public discovered it," explains Pierre Lagrange. The secrets
surrounding military research - notably the military base nicknamed Area 51 ,
completely inaccessible to the public - fuel paranoia about these unexplained
phenomena.
A cultural fascination as well
"There is an imaginary of a secret army and a
government that would plot against the people in the United States. It
developed during the Cold War and found new momentum with Hollywood or series
like ''X-Files''", Thomas Michaud adds. The theory of " chemtrails
", according to which the white trails left by planes would in
reality be spraying by the government, also found its source on the American
Web in the 1990s.
However, UFOs also fascinate in France and "one of the
very first groups of amateur investigators was French, created in 1951,"
recalls Pierre Lagrange. "In France and Europe too, there is a ufological
[or UFO] culture and many followers," adds Thomas Michaud. He mentions in
particular a symposium on the arrival of extraterrestrials organized at the
Zénith in Limoges last March and which brought together several thousand
people. Interest in UFOs is therefore not only American. And given the concern
raised by the aerial ballet that has animated the night sky of New Jersey in
recent weeks, the subject is far from extinction.
