New images of several creepy ‘triangle’ craft flying over New Jersey have only added to the mystery for locals.
At least five or possibly six of the unidentified drones were captured in the new 50-second cellphone video, which one commentator said was “the clearest video yet.”
One drone, heard Roaring in the air as it moved through the darkness, it appeared to have a cluster of white lights on its underbelly and red lights flashing at the tips of its wings and tail.
Another drone came into view that resembled a classic ‘black triangle’ UFO or the triangular TR-3B, emitting bright white light from its nose, wingtips and tail.
Since mid-November, a spate of unexplained drone sightings over central Jersey has left both police and the general public looking to the skies for clues as to what these mysterious night flights could be.
Governor Phil Murphy has tried to calm residents by claiming that these real UFOs “present no known threat to the public at this time,” but the FBI and local police are actively investigating.
Concerns have increased over the proximity of these drone-like UFOs to newly elected President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course, the US military research center Picatinny Arsenal and crucial local infrastructure.
“Water reservoirs, electrical transmission lines, train stations, police departments and military installations” have all had UFOs hovering overhead in recent weeks, according to the chief of police for New Jersey’s Florham Park neighborhood.
“Their presence appears to be nefarious in nature,” the police chief added.
“Looks like they want to be seen,” NJ resident and TikTok creator @_bucky13 commented beneath his phone footage of the terrifying drones (still image above), captioning it, “Mysterious drones spotted all over New Jersey.” At least five drone-like UFOs can be seen in his 50-second clip

But the New Jerseyan who posted the new footage of these drones online claims the answer lies within America’s own secret world of black budget projects.
“It looks like they want to be seen,” said TikTok user @_bucky13 commented under his phone to a video of the terrifying UFOs, with closed captions
‘Mysterious drones spotted across New Jersey.’
“I think they are trying to scare Russia by demonstrating some secret weapons,” he wrote.
The camera was pointed at the sky when the drones came into view.
‘There they are! There’s more of them in New Jersey!’, can be heard shouting in his portable video – as a troubled woman off camera says, ‘We’re not allowed to be outside.’
“They look like a damn triangle!” They look like a triangle,” he said in disbelief, as you saw a triangular drone fly off into the night.
A later UFO or drone appeared to hover stationary beyond the tree line, illuminated by multiple lights that pulsed brightly enough to produce a lens flare effect.
“Are you driving me crazy?” a woman can be heard saying about the vessel.
Commentators of the UFO video joined him in suspecting that the objects could ultimately turn out to be top-secret U.S. military vehicles, even as the TikToker can be heard marveling in his video that “an F-16 just flew overhead” in the pursuit of the unidentified. craft.
According to a NJ local, this image shows approximately nine of the unidentified drones flying from the Atlantic Ocean into the Garden State on Thursday evening, December 5.

“Looks like a military drone,” said one Tik Tok user, while another said: “Definitely government-made drones.”
Many declared with confidence that the triangular craft was the legendary and as yet unconfirmed TR-3B ‘Black Manta’ anti-gravity spy plane, the alleged successor to the also unconfirmed TR-3A, both claimed to be made by defense contractor Northrop. early nineties.
“Those are TR-3B government drones,” said one poster. “Look, they’re pretty cool.”
A cover story from December 1991 Popular mechanics was one of the first mainstream media reports to claim that the TR-3A existed as a highly advanced “tactical reconnaissance vehicle.” Eyewitnesses said it was 40 feet long and had a wingspan of 60 feet.
The magazine even suggested that this so-called “black budget” surveillance plane “may have seen action during Operation Desert Storm.”
Aerospace illustrator Mark McCandlish, who contributed art to a 1991 Popular Mechanics article about the alleged TR-3A ‘Black Manta’, would go on to claim that the US had secretly reverse-engineered a crashed UFO
The article also described a much larger, even more incredible and “highly maneuverable” black triangle aircraft – as large as the wingspan of a 150-foot B-2 bomber and able to “turn 90 degrees on its wingtip.”
Ten years later, on May 9, 2001, at the National Press Club in Washington DC, Mark McCandlish, the aerospace illustrator who contributed art to that PopMech article, claimed that American secret anti-gravity propulsion research had indeed done that reverse-engineering a crashed UFO.
Others have speculated that the UFOs over New Jersey could be an update of US defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s original ‘Darkstar’, which flew in 1996.
The RQ-3 DarkStar was a highly advanced remotely piloted aircraft intended for stealth reconnaissance, but officially the company says Darkstar “never entered production” due to “cost and aerodynamic stability issues.”
But if the craft really is “top secret” American innovations, few other branches of the federal government seem to be aware, with many concerned about rival foreign powers like Russia or China as the culprits.
Last November 22, the FAA banned drone flights over the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey until Friday, December 6, as well as over the Picatinny Arsenal military base in Rockaway until December 26.

“We investigate all reports of unauthorized drone operations,” FAA officials said in a statement, “and conduct investigations as appropriate.”
The government warned drone operators that unmanned flights that endanger aircraft or pedestrians below could result in fines of up to $75,000 – plus the loss of their drone operators’ pilot certificates.
Local digital news site NJ.com spoke to a spokesperson for Picatinny Arsenal, Eric Kowal, who reiterated that it is illegal to fly drones over the base without prior permission. But he doesn’t believe the drones pose an immediate threat.
“From our standpoint, we are not worrying our residents and employees,” he said.
“The FBI is the expert on the threat. We do not believe there is a threat at this time.”
