Mysterious drones and radiation spikes in New Jersey spark fears of foreign surveillance and nuclear threats, as experts warn Americans to prepare for the worst.
At a Glance
- Over 5,000 drone sightings reported across multiple US states, with 3,000+ in New Jersey alone
- Radiation levels in New York metro area exceed safety thresholds amid drone activity
- Experts speculate drones could be linked to missing nuclear warheads or foreign surveillance
- Gordon Chang warns of potential alliance between America’s adversaries and calls for public preparedness
- Government deploys high-tech drone detection system but struggles to identify the source
Unprecedented Drone Activity Raises National Security Concerns
A wave of mysterious drone sightings across the United States, particularly in New Jersey and New York, has sparked intense speculation and security concerns. With over 5,000 reported sightings since November 18, including more than 3,000 in New Jersey alone, authorities are scrambling to identify the source and purpose of these unmanned aerial vehicles. The sheer scale and sophistication of the drone activity have led experts to dismiss the possibility of hobbyist involvement, pointing instead to a potentially orchestrated effort by foreign powers.
The situation has escalated to the point where New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced the deployment of a high-tech drone detection system, declaring, “This has gone too far.” Despite these efforts, the Pentagon and Biden administration have yet to provide clear answers, fueling public frustration and drawing comparisons to last year’s Chinese spy balloon incident.
Radiation Spikes and Nuclear Concerns
Adding to the alarm, radiation levels in the New York metropolitan area have reportedly spiked amid the drone sightings. The Geiger Counter World Map shows radiation levels exceeding safety thresholds, raising fears of a potential nuclear threat. This development has reignited discussions about historical nuclear risks, including speculation about missing Cold War-era warheads.
“Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia and there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. I believe there were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing. We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does but nobody really knows where these are and I speak with some high-level government officials on this stuff” John Ferguson
While this claim remains unverified, it underscores the heightened concerns surrounding nuclear security in the current geopolitical climate. The combination of unexplained drone activity and radiation anomalies has led some experts to speculate about potential searches for nuclear materials or other clandestine operations on American soil.
Expert Warnings and Call for Preparedness
Gordon Chang, a senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute and a prominent voice on US-China relations, has issued stark warnings about the implications of these events. Chang suggests that the drone activity could be a deliberate distraction by foreign powers, possibly Iran or China, to mask other nefarious activities within the United States.

Chang’s concerns extend beyond the immediate drone threat. He warns of a potential alliance between America’s adversaries, such as North Korea, to smuggle and reassemble nuclear devices on US soil. In light of these perceived threats, Chang emphasizes the need for Americans to prepare for worst-case scenarios, including stocking up on essentials like food, water, and iodine pills.
Here’s what happened in 5 places that had ‘mystery’ drone sightings before N.J. @tinakelley, a good reporter, does not just wave her hand at the "credulous", but investigates and finds many similarities, including perhaps a China connection: https://t.co/d9AqaDQ07U

Government Response and Public Skepticism
The federal government’s response to these events has been met with growing skepticism. Despite the Pentagon’s commitment to investigating aerial anomalies and addressing credible threats, many feel that the official explanations fall short. The FBI has received thousands of tips, yet concrete answers remain elusive.
“‘How is it possible that the Pentagon doesn’t know? I’m not buying it,’ remarked Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, voicing the skepticism felt by many Americans.” Maria Bartiromo
This lack of transparency has fueled conspiracy theories and public unease. Chang and other experts are calling for an honest conversation from US leadership about the current global state, arguing that the world is no longer in peacetime. As tensions with China and other global powers continue to simmer, the American public is left grappling with uncertainty and the unsettling possibility that these drone sightings may be harbingers of more significant threats to come.
