British Woman Caron Ara Reports Astonishing UFO Fleet Encounter in Rural Wiltshire
December 13, 2024 12:35 AM EST
In a stunning series of events, British cyclist Caron Ara claims to have encountered extraterrestrial craft and beings multiple times while cycling alone at night in the rural countryside of Wiltshire.
These encounters include an extraordinary sighting of an entire fleet of 18 unidentified aerial vehicles.
On one occasion, Ara observed the fleet gliding silently above her, their gray, non-metallic surfaces illuminated by an amber energy field.
In another instance, she spotted the mysterious crafts during a Guy Fawkes Night celebration, where they appeared to be observing fireworks.
The only metallic craft Ara saw featured a distinctive porthole-like structure on the front, which she noted was not a window but an unknown navigation technology.
Ara's footage, captured under challenging conditions, has been rigorously tested for visual effects and verified as authentic.
Despite the awkward angles, low lighting, and unsteady hand, the recordings provide glimpses of the crafts' extraordinary capabilities.
Witnessed behaviors include shape-shifting, invisibility, and gravity-defying maneuvers that challenge our understanding of physics.
"The way these crafts movetilting on their sides, defying G-forces, and gliding silentlysuggests technology far beyond human capabilities," Ara stated.
"They seem to be spiritually evolved beings, observing us with curiosity but remaining evasive."
Ara's experiences include observing the crafts hovering playfully behind trees and detecting their lightweight structures, estimated to be just over three feet in size.
Despite their advanced nature, Ara describes a sense of peace and awe during these encounters.
She believes these beings have visited Earth for millennia, largely undetected, and sees their presence as evidence of the vastness and diversity of life in the universe.
For those curious to see the videos and photos, Ara has shared her verified footage on her X platform account.

Attack of the drones? Residents concerned after drones spotted in Butler, Sedgwick Counties
Updated: Dec 12, 2024 / 11:00 PM CST
BUTLER COUNTY, Kansas (KSNW) — People nationwide are concerned about increased drone activity and have no idea who is behind the controls.
The flying frenzy has reached Kansas, as people in Butler and Sedgwick County have reported seeing multiple drones almost every night.
Nicolas Marache said that nightly, he and his wife had spotted several drones of different sizes hovering around their Augusta home.
They said they are now concerned about what business those flying drones have over their property.
“This is not happening just in New York or just in New Jersey; it’s been going on here,” said Augusta resident Nicolas Marache.
There were several drone sightings over Mulvane, now Augusta. Nicholas said that it has become a problem over their property. He fears for the intentions of those flying the drones.
“Invasion of privacy, worries about burglaries—we have seen drones right outside the windows,” said Nicholas.
His wife, Rebecca Marache, said they are left with more questions than answers.
“We don’t know who they are, or what they want, or what they’re doing, or what business they have here,” said Rebecca.
Butler County Sheriff Monty Hughey said they have been to the Marache’s property several times and have yet to come into contact with the drones.
He said it can be hard to track them down because the operator can be miles away. He added there are several safety concerns his team looks out for.
“We’ve got to make sure, if there is a drone, that they’re not keeping an eye on their house or people that use them to burglarize residences as well, because they check their property and look for things to steal, like in the backyard, cars, and so forth,” said Sheriff Hughey.
He said they will make themselves available if anyone comes across drones and has concerns.
“If anybody else is seeing drones above their residences or flying around being suspicious, be sure to give us a call here at Butler County; we’ll be more than happy to come check that out,” said Sheriff Hughey.
Sheriff Hughey said he does not believe any national security threat has reached Kansas, and their biggest concern is drones used to scope out new possible theft victims.

Senator Kim joins police on nighttime drone patrol
December 13, 2024
JERSEY CITY, NJ. – Thursday night, Senator Andy Kim joined local law enforcement to observe drone activity in New Jersey.
Kim joined law enforcement from Clinton Township to visit multiple locations in Hunterdon County where real-time drone activity was being reported.
The Senator says he observed sightings of multiple unexplained and unidentified drones.
Kim states that he reiterated his strong calls to federal authorities including Homeland Security and the FBI to rigorously investigate and provide immediate answers to New Jerseyans about the mysterious activity.
“It’s hard for people to feel secure when there are unexplained drones flying overhead and they’re not getting answers they need from the federal investigation,” said Senator Kim.
“This has been going on for weeks and I’m just as frustrated as everyone else in not getting more information and details.
That’s why I came out to see for myself, and I’m grateful for local police for taking me around.”
Over the course of nearly two hours, Kim and local law enforcement say they witnessed dozens of drones flying in Hunterdon County.
“People deserve answers,” says Kim. “We don’t need conspiracy theories or conjecture, we need assurances that the people charged with keeping us safe are on top of this issue, and a line of communication so that people feel like their government is taking this seriously.”
On December 4, Senator Kim participated in a briefing hosted by New Jersey Governor Murphy with DHS Secretary Mayorkas about the agency’s response and investigation into the recent drone sightings and coordination between local, state, and federal entities.

Drones spotted over Connecticut sky in latest phenomenon
December 12, 2024 9:50pm EST
Several drones were reportedly spotted in the skies above a Connecticut suburb Thursday night, adding to recent sightings that have perplexed residents and raised questions about possible national security and public safety concerns.
A social media user on X posted videos of possible drones in Fairfield, 55 miles northeast of New York City.
Drones hovering over New Jersey and near Staten Island, New York, in recent weeks have raised concerns due to a lack of clarity over their origin.
One X user filmed what she said were at least five drones in the sky over the Fairfield, Connecticut, train station.
"They all just went by each other," she's heard saying off camera. "They're at different levels. My husband has a drone. They don't fly this far and this quiet."
At one point, she said the aircraft could be a "hobbyist drone."
Another social media user said she noticed the drones "between 5:30-6:00. Crazy, definitely not planes."
Other footage posted online showed multiple possible drones hovering near LaGuardia Airport in New York City, according to social media posts.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Mystery object in Marion County sky is a drone, according to Indy drone pilot
Dec 13, 2024 / 08:58 AM EST
INDIANAPOLIS — What a FOX59/CBS4 viewer recently saw flying recently above his southern Marion County home and neighborhood concerned him.
He can be heard saying, “That is scary,” on video he provided to FOX59/CBS4. It shows a lighted object hovering and sometimes moving slowly in the evening sky.
“That’s exactly what they’ve been seeing on the East Coast,” the man could be heard saying in the video.
Since early December, there have been reports of large drones in the air above New Jersey.
The flights have been at night and drones have been spotted near a military research facility and President-Elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster.
The federal Department of Homeland Security and FBI are investigating but so far have offered few answers.
When asked at a Tuesday meeting of the US House Homeland Security Committee whether the drones are a public safety threat, the FBI’s Assistant Director of the Critical Incident Response Group said in part, “There is nothing that is known that would lead me to say that, but we just don’t know and that’s the concerning part.”
A spokesperson for the Indianapolis FBI office told FOX59/CBS4 that it is “not aware of any reports” of nighttime drone flights in the area.
But what was that captured on video of the night sky of Marion County?
FOX59/CBS4 shared the video clips with Indianapolis drone pilot Mark Bianchi, whose business is Indy Drone Video.
In a brief telephone interview this afternoon, Bianchi told us it was definitely a drone.
“Because they do have the navigational lights on them,” Bianchi said. “The green lights and the red lights which is standard for most drones.”
Bianchi observed the night-time flight possibly broke FAA regulations for drone pilots.
“I did not see a flashing beacon on the drone… which means that the person flying them is certainly flying them illegally,” Bianchi said.
Given the apparent size of the drone captured in the video, Bianchi guessed it could be an agricultural drone, which is larger and used for things like crop dusting.
The federal agency that deals with complaints about aircraft is the FAA’s Flight Safety Office.
There is one such office in Plainfield. If you wish to inform the office about a drone sighting, you can call them at 317-837-4400 or if you wish to email them, the office can be reached at 7-AGL-IND-FSDO@FAA.GOV.

‘I’m very concerned’: Jacksonville man captures images of large suspected drone flying near NAS JAX
December 12, 2024 at 4:39 pm EST
The mysterious drone sightings reported throughout the country now appear to have spread to Jacksonville.
A local man captured images of what he described as a “large drone” flying Tuesday night near NAS JAX.
Jack Jones has been flying drones as a hobbyist for a decade, but what he saw on his trip home from work on Tuesday, was unlike anything he’d seen before.
“When I took a better look I realized it was a large drone,” said Jones.
Jones captured several grainy images of the suspected drone, which he estimates was roughly the size of a car hood.
He told Action News Jax that the drone appeared to be flying near NAS JAX, which is surrounded by restricted airspace that regular commercial drones are unable to operate in.
We asked whether he believed the drone was flying within the no-fly zone. “I would think so,” Jones responded.
According to a source at NAS JAX, the base does not have large quadcopter-style drones like the one described by Jones, and only rarely has airplane-style Triton drones on site.
“Naval Air Station Jacksonville had no issues noted regarding drone activity over the station Tuesday evening.
However, air traffic controllers are currently investigating the matter,” a NAS JAX spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
In a follow-up statement around 5 PM Thursday, the naval base told Action News Jax, “No indications of any anomalous activity” were found on the radar tapes.
Congressman John Rutherford (R-FL 5th District) argued Jones’ sighting should be taken seriously, as the FBI is currently investigating similar sightings that have been reported throughout the country in recent weeks.
“I’m very concerned about what’s going on here with these things,” said Rutherford.
Rutherford noted just this week, a Chinese national was arrested and charged on suspicions he’d flown a drone and captured aerial photos of a Space Force Base in California.
“All of this could appear to be a very earnest attempt by the Chinese Communists to develop intelligence on our military bases,” said Rutherford.
Jones shares those fears and said he would encourage others to keep an eye on the skies and report anything suspicious.
“Anytime anybody is flying an unauthorized drone in an unauthorized flying area, I’m very concerned,” said Jones.
Action News Jax also reached out to the local FBI office and asked whether it has received any reports of suspicious drone activity in the area.
We’re waiting to hear back.

Drones spotted in the skies over Colonie, Albany County Sheriff confirms reports
Updated Fri, December 13th 2024 at 12:49 PM
Capital Region (WRGB) — A Facebook post Thursday in a neighborhood group indicated recent drone sightings over Colonie skies prompting questions from local residents.
We reached out to police looking for answers. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple confirmed Friday morning reports of drones spotted flying above the county, have been received.
Yes, we did see some, and we are trying to determine exactly the origin of them. I know that the New York and New Jersey has been inundated with drones the last couple of days.
Ring doorbell neighbors app posts also indicate residents believe drones were also seen above Schenectady Thursday.
In New Jersey, Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., on Thursday accused the Pentagon of being “incredibly stupid” with its handling of recent drone sightings in his home state and called for answers.
The Biden administration’s Department of Defense on Wednesday denied the congressman's claim that an Iranian "mothership" is involved in recent unexplained drone sightings across New Jersey.
Rep. Van Drew cited "high sources" for the information.
The FAA shares the following on the section covering 'Unmanned Aircraft Systems":
All drone pilots, new or experienced, benefit from rules and safety tips to help you fly safe. More importantly, drone safety is the law. Find relevant resources below according to how you use your drone.
Whether you’re a public safety drone operator, certificated remote pilot, model aircraft flyer, or a drone racer, you’re in the right place to learn about integrating these new entrants into our national airspace system.
The FAA in February released guidance requiring airspace authorizations:
Starting on February 20, Recreational Flyers may request an airspace authorization to operate in controlled airspace at night through LAANC and before you fly, make sure you meet all of the requirements of the Exception for Limited Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft.

Mystery 'Orbs' Appear To Hover Over Minnesota Sky
Dec 13, 2024 at 5:32 AM EST
Following recent reports of drones hovering over New York and New Jersey, mysterious glowing orbs have this week been seen moving in the skies above Minnesota.
Video footage uploaded by Fox News on Wednesday shows two orbs floating in the sky, eventually moving around before disappearing.
Eyewitness Deborah Wagner from Northfield, Minnesota, said in the video: "We started trying to follow them, but they won't be followed.
They just, like, they disappear. Whenever anybody moves towards them, they'd back off."
Later in the video, the orbs are shown hovering with lights blinking against the night sky.
As reported by Fox News, Wagner's daughter Chrissy Graddy, who lives nearby, has also seen the lights, saying: "Are these UFOs? Are they a government thing? What are they?"
Graddy has recorded footage of the orbs on her cell phone, taken while out with her children.
In the footage, her children can be heard saying: "It's really low. I'm gonna follow it! There's another one up there!"
According to the report, Graddy took the video after she and her children spotted the flashing lights, which would move away once they spotted them.
They started seeing the lights over the summer and now it is a nightly occurrence.
"It obviously sees me," Graddy says in the cell phone video. "I've got to pretend like I'm driving."
"They would come and then kind of like hover. And then we would go outside and then they would leave," Graddy added.
Newsweek contacted NOAA, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's office, and the FBI via email for comment on Friday outside of regular working hours.

Drones reported over 2nd N.J. military facility, Navy says
Updated: Dec. 12, 2024, 8:44 p.m.
At least two drones were spotted above another military base in New Jersey during the recent surge in unexplained sightings across the state, Navy officials said.
Naval Weapons Station Earle, a military base in Colts Neck in Monmouth County, has had two reports of drones in its airspace, facility spokesman William Addison said Thursday.
“While no direct threats to the installation have been identified, we can confirm at least two instances of an unidentified drone entering the airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle,” he said.
“The base remains prepared to respond to any potential risks, leveraging robust security measures and advanced detection capabilities.”
He encouraged members of the community to report any suspicious activity near the base to local law enforcement officials.
Naval Weapons Station Earle is at least the second New Jersey military base to report drone sightings after Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County said it had at least 11 confirmed drone sightings in recent weeks.
A spokesperson for the federal Department of Defense’s U.S. Northern Command confirmed drones were spotted above the New Jersey military facilities.
“We are aware and monitoring the reports of unauthorized drone flights in the vicinity of military installations in New Jersey to include Picatinny Arsenal and Naval Weapons Station Earle, and we refer you to those installations for information on any efforts they are may be conducting to ensure the safety and security of their personnel and operations,” the spokesperson said.
“Local law enforcement and the FBI are currently investigating,” the spokesperson said.
“U.S. Northern Command conducted a deliberate analysis of the events, in consultation with other military organizations and interagency partners, and at this time we have not been requested to assist with these events.”
Drones have been reported hovering across New Jersey’s night skies over the past few weeks.
The sightings, which began last month, have led to an FBI investigation that has yielded at least 3,000 reports of unexplained drones.
It remains unclear how many of the sightings are legitimate or whether they are related to a single source.
The first confirmed sighting at Picatinny witnessed by a police or security officer was Nov. 13.
Seven other sightings remained unconfirmed, including one reported Friday at Picatinny, a military research and manufacturing facility in Jefferson and Rockaway Township.
“While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown, we can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal-related activities,” said Lt. Col. Craig A. Bonham II, Picatinny Arsenal Garrison Commander.

US base targeted by flying drones over Germany as Pentagon under fire for spiraling crisis: Live updates
Updated: 13:29 EST, 13 December 2024
Reports of mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey have now spread to multiple states, as residents and local officials demand answers from the US Government.
Numerous 'car-sized' drones have been seen hovering throughout the state since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time.
The first drone sightings appeared over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and over President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster on November 18.
But reports of varying levels of credibility have now spread to at least 12 counties throughout the Garden State, as well as eastern Pennsylvania and Orange County, New York.
The FBI and other agencies are investigating, but the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing.'
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson receives classified briefing on drone invasion
Senior Congressional Correspondent for Fox News Chad Pergram stated in an X post that Rep. Mike Johnson 'received a classified briefing on the drone incursions in the Northeast' Friday.
'We reported yesterday that Johnson said he expected to be briefed,' he added.
The Louisiana Republican referred to the situation as a 'quandary' when speaking to Pergram on Thursday.

Booker ‘concerned’ about New Jersey drone sightings, wants more transparency
12/13/24 7:51 AM ET
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) weighed in on the uptick of unidentified drone sightings in his home state, saying he is “concerned.”
“I’m concerned; I issued a letter to ask for more information. I think there should be a lot more transparency about it,” Booker told reporters Thursday on Capitol Hill.
Senators from New York and New Jersey, including Booker, sent a letter to the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday, asking for a briefing on the drones seen flying over their states.
“The potential safety and security risks posed by these drones in civilian areas is especially pertinent considering recent drone incursions at sensitive military sites in and outside of the continental United States over the past year,” they wrote in the letter, saying they expect a reply no later than on Dec. 23.
Booker added that he has been a “little frustrated.” “There hasn’t been enough transparency letting people know what’s happening,” he said.
“It’s allowing a lot of potentially misinformation to spread, or at least fear. We should know what’s going on over our skies.”
White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said the current administration is in search of more information about the drone sightings, which have spiked since late November over both New York and northern New Jersey. But he brushed off the likelihood that they are a threat.
The Defense Department has also said there’s “no evidence” the unmanned aircraft are a product of a foreign entity or “the work of an adversary,” according to the Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.
The FBI is currently investigating the sightings.
“The Biden Administration’s inaction to intercept & identify the drones over New York & New Jersey is shocking, concerning & unacceptable,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) wrote Wednesday on social media.

Blumenthal joins calls for New Jersey drones to be shot down "if necessary"
December 12, 2024
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) has called for the drones spotted flying over New Jersey and other parts of the northeast to be shot down "if necessary" as the mystery continues over who is responsible for the unmanned aerial vehicles.
Why it matters: The call for potential action comes as the White House said the drones have not been involved in any malicious activity, but lawmakers from the impacted states have grown frustrated by a lack of answers amid safety concerns.
"We should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they're flying over airports or military bases," Blumenthal said according to the AP.
Two New Jersey Reps. Chris Smith (R) and Jeff Van Drew (R) were the first to call for the drones to be shot down.
Driving the news: Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Andy Kim (D-N.J.) requested a briefing Thursday on actions that federal agencies and local law enforcement are undertaking to identify the source of the drones.
The senators requested the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration respond by Dec. 23.
What they're saying: "The potential safety and security risks posed by these drones in civilian areas is especially pertinent considering recent drone incursions at sensitive military sites in and outside of the continental United States over the past year," the letter from the four senators said.
Blumenthal, who sits on the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Committee, said that the Biden administration "ought to be acting more aggressively against these drones."
"The lack of information is absolutely unacceptable," Blumenthal said according to the AP.
Booker echoed the frustration, though he did not place blame on any specific agency. "We should know what's going on over our skies," he said, per the AP.
Zoom out: Federal investigators have not corroborated any of the sightings, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby said on Thursday during a news conference.
"On the contrary, upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported sightings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated lawfully," he said.
Kirby confirmed there is no evidence of foreign involvement from coastal vessels, backing the Pentagon's Wednesday statement after Van Drew suggested an Iranian "mothership" located off the East Coast was launching the drones.

Drone 'Fell Out of The Sky,' New Jersey 911 Caller Claims
Dec 13, 2024 at 5:03 AM EST
Adrone has crashed into the ground in New Jersey amid repeated reported sightings of the unmanned flying devices along the East Coast, according to local law enforcement.
Police scanner reports in Morris County, New Jersey indicated that a drone had crashed in the area on Friday morning, with one officer reporting that more remote-controlled aircraft were spotted in the sky around the scene of the crash.
The news comes after a surge in drone sightings that have baffled New England Law enforcement, as well as the FBI, since November, with authorities unsure about the nature and origin of the drones despite extensive security protocols.
In a police scanner report released on social media, one officer described a 911 response in which someone called in a drone crash near their house, adding that 10 additional drones appeared at the crash site.
The officer said, "It was a crash, a crash. A drone fell out of the sky by the powerlines behind their house, and then 10 more showed up." This kind of grouping-up behavior is consistent with other reports of the drones.
On Tuesday, Representative Chris Smith, of New Jersey's 4th district, told Congress about a similar situation in which a group of 12 drones followed a coastguard vehicle at sea.
"So last night, I was on the beach park in Ocean County with the sheriff. He has been working every single night, he's got his own tethered drones chronicling, and one of his officers two nights ago, saw 50 drones coming off the ocean right there," Smith said.
Newsweek contacted Morris County authorities for an update on the situation via email outside of normal working hours.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy confirmed that on Sunday there were almost 50 reported drone sightings across the state.
He told residents he was taking the incidents "deadly seriously," as other states began reporting sightings in December.
Sightings have been reported in three states along the East Coast: New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.
However, the greatest number of sightings has occurred in New Jersey, where drones have been spotted in more than five counties.
Despite the FBI receiving over 3,000 reports from the public, and increasing pressure from lawmakers to get to the bottom of the drones the bureau told Congress on Tuesday that "we don't know" who is behind the vehicles, despite the fact that multiple drones have been sighted flying near sensitive military sites.
