Recent Epidemic of Drone Sightings May be Due to Gas Leaks or Radioactive Material, Expert Suggests
A recent epidemic of reported drone sightings across New York and New Jersey could be due to potential “gas leaks” or “radioactive material,” according to a subject matter expert. Reports of mysterious drone sightings have drawn widespread attention from lawmakers and the public in recent weeks. The FBI has received more than 3,000 tips regarding the sightings, with the majority occurring at night.
Drone expert John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace, has weighed in on the topic in a TikTok post that has gone viral. Ferguson suggested that the drones could be searching for gas leaks or pockets of radiation, and reiterated his theory in a series of follow-up videos. He said that the only reason the drones would be flying so low at night is if they are “trying to smell something on the ground.”
Ferguson’s assessment has sparked both interest and skepticism, with some lawmakers accusing government agencies of concealing information about the drones. In response, a Department of Homeland Security official suggested that a Federal Aviation Administration rule change in September 2023 could be a reason behind the uptick in drone sightings, allowing drones to fly at night.
Despite the speculation, the absence of concrete answers has led to the propagation of outlandish theories, including the Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory, which claims that global elites plan to stage a fake alien invasion.
