The latest footage from bizarre drones in New Jersey has captured several craft orbiting each other over Somerset County, while at least twelve counties have reported sightings.
The video, released this week, shows three “mysterious drones in the sky,” two of which were moving extremely close as if interacting with each other, and the third hovered for “about 15 minutes.”
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said Monday evening that the drones “are very advanced,” explaining: ‘As soon as we spot them [the drones]they become dark.”
“I don’t blame people for being frustrated,” Governor Murphy continued, adding that he had spent most of Sunday coordinating on the issue with both the White House and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, hoping to get answers to get.
He said the state received 49 sighting reports on Sunday evening alone, with hundreds of locals sharing experiences on social media platforms.
On Monday, Picatinny Arsenal, the Army facility in Morris County, confirmed that there have been 11 sightings of “UFOs” in its airspace in recent weeks.
The sightings, which began in November, include reports of multiple craft flying over the same areas each night, and reports of car-sized drones, the kind not usually used by hobbyists, flying over some areas.
New Jersey State Senator Jon Bramnick (R-21) is now calling for a limited “emergency” that bans all drone use authorities from determining who is responsible for the eerie night flights.
The latest images from New Jersey have only added more questions to this bizarre UFO wave. “What the hell is happening?” the woman capturing the display is heard saying, as a pair of glowing red lights orbit a white UFO before drifting away
The edits in the 40-second video, which was also posted to Instagram, appear to reflect a montage of the event’s most impactful moments. “Update,” the videographer says in the clip’s finale, “that mysterious drone up there is still there. It took maybe 10-15 minutes. It’s still there’
“Guys, I just found three mysterious drones in the sky,” reports the woman filming the scene in the clip, which was posted by the account on social site X.com UAP Reporting Center.
“This is wild,” the woman says, as the two circling white lights erupt in the air, one of which appears to shoot quickly to the right. “That went quickly.”

UAP Reporting Center is not affiliated with the nonprofit National UFO Reporting Center of the same name, which has coordinated UFO case reports with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for decades.
Nevertheless, several more new videos taken in northwestern New Jersey, near the Pennsylvania border, also show multicolored drone-like crafts — including one lit up like a Christmas tree with at least eight lights ranging from green, white, red and orange.
Posted by an automotive technician on the Facebook community group “New Jersey Mystery Drones – Let’s Solve It,” the apparent fixed-wing drone was caught on tape last week over the community of Pohatcong in Warren County, NJ.
The witness also captured images of a stationary and hovering UFO with four bright green lights over the same area in northwest Jersey.
Significantly, the mysterious fixed-wing drones with red, white and green lights resemble aircraft sighted over sensitive US military bases in recent years.
“I got about 15 minutes of different videos before I stopped recording and to my horror I counted AT LEAST 30,” the witness said in a Facebook postT. ‘in a full radius of about 10 to 25 miles away.’
The witness wrote that he saw at least five coming from Easton, Pennsylvania, heading northeast, heading southeast toward Flemington, NJ.
One witness, also in the Pohatcong area, couldn’t contain his concern about what they saw late Sunday. write to the group: ‘From the front and back yards of my house I saw dozens, maybe hundreds, from my house all night long.’
“These are not man-made drones. These are huge,” the witness pointed out. ‘I feel like there’s nothing we can do […] We’re being watched and we’re being invaded.’
“My opinion I guess, but I know what I saw,” this Pohatcong noted.
The witness’s more practical description of Sunday’s UFO drone swarm included some craft that “just had bright white lights floating around,” others that were “quiet and floated by,” and some that were “very noisy and looked like an airplane.”
The heights also varied, the witness said: ‘There [were] lower and higher UFOs.’
Speaking at a signing event in Princeton, New York, Governor Murphy hoped to allay the concerns of witnesses who feared the worst from these unexplained sightings.
“Homeland Security, FBI, Secret Service, our state police, authorities at all levels of government,” the governor said, “we don’t see any concern for public safety.”
“That said,” Governor Murphy admitted, “it’s really frustrating that we don’t have more answers to where they come from – and why they do what they do.”
“These are apparently, as I understand it, very sophisticated,” Governor Murphy said of the UFOs. ‘As soon as we spot them [the drones]they become dark.” According to a NJ local, this image above shows about nine of the drones flying in from the Atlantic Ocean on December 5
Significantly, the mysterious fixed-wing drones with red, white and green lights resemble craft spotted over sensitive US military bases in recent years.
For example, for at least 17 nights in December 2023, swarms of noisy small UFOs were seen “moving at high speeds” and displaying “flashing red, green and white lights” in the highly restricted airspace over Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia.
Gov. Murphy encouraged citizens to report their sightings to the FBI and expressed concern about the UFO drones potentially investigating “sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure.”
“We have military resources; we have utilities; we have one of the president-elect’s houses here,” he noted.
Murphy also claimed that reports of “some rumors that the drones had been downed” were unsubstantiated. One, he said, was a toy and the other was never found.
Senators from the state of New Jersey, the mayors of 21 local cities and state representatives in Washington have more answers, faster.
NJ Congressman Chris Smith said he was on Long Beach Island this week investigating the mystery with Ocean County Sheriff Mike Mastronardy.
“The lukewarm response from our state and federal agencies to date is completely unacceptable,” said Rep. Smith.
“The people of New Jersey deserve swift and bold action from our state and federal agencies to immediately investigate, assess and address the situation and address our community’s growing concerns.”
