Planes, drones, or UFOs?
December 16, 2024
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Residents in at least seven states have said they have seen mysterious aircraft in the past few weeks, including here in Rhode Island.
“It does not appear at this point that there was hostile intent in many if not all of these drones,” Senator Jack Reed said.
National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference. Senator Reed said it’s time to figure this out.
“Some of them are the size of cars or small busses and they could be dangerous. We need to get in front of this, added Reed.
We have to be much more focused, concentrated, and streamlined. We also need to have rules, people know very clearly that you can’t fly one of these devices so many feet from an airport, or a school, or anything else.”
On a national scale, according to a spokesperson for the Wright-Patterson air force base in Ohio, one of the country’s most important air force bases was closed temporarily due to drone activity.

Illinois UFO Reports Over Past 5 Days Now Believed to Be Drones
December 16, 2024
The drone controversy on the East Coast is quickly also becoming an Illinois problem as many UFO reports over the state during the past 5 days are now believed to be drones.
If you're not familiar with the National UFO Reporting Center website, this is a place where anyone and everyone can submit unidentified aerial phenomena reports.
Many are unexplained, but sometimes the experts there will analyze the photos and/or videos that are submitted and provide an answer.
There are now 4 UFO reports since December 11, 2024 that have been categorized as drone activity in Illinois.
Here's a report that happened on December 11 in Palos Heights, Illinois: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=185101
"4 different objects flying above and near my home. 2 white orbs looked like they were taking snapshots."
This incident was reported in Chicago, Illinois the following night on December 12: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=185214
"I observed at least 4 orbs / spheres of yellow-ish emitting a bright, pale-yellow light roughly 1 mile offshore from Lake Michigan…
I'd estimate at the lowest point, the drones were no more than 100-200 feet above the water. Several pulsed and emitting much brighter light at times, before pulsing down again or spontaneously disappearing."
The night of December 14, there was a sighting over Peoria, Illinois which said this: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=185274
"Glider or drone sighted…My daughter and I were returning from an errand in the morning, when I saw a silver flash in the sky.
It was very very thin and shaped like an H, on all four corners there was a light. It was very low, almost touched the tree tops, about twice the size of a car."
Finally, here's a sighting over Benton, Illinois on Sunday, December 15 that was described this way: https://nuforc.org/sighting/?id=185348
"It was moving very slowly, hovering and changed direction, and hovered again…Coming out of church, looking south east.
Object moving a little west, and hovering. Moving slowly east, and again hovering."
All 4 of these Illinois sightings just since December 11 have been categorized as drones by the NUFORC. Many of these sightings included videos that were captured.
The sightings in Illinois are not nearly as widespread as they are in New Jersey and New York state right now, but they are happening.
How long before those in Illinois start asking the same question the East Coast people are? Who is responsible for these illegal nighttime drone flights and what are they up to?
It's time for some solid answers.

New Footage Taken From Plane Shows Glowing Orb-Shaped UFOs ‘At Impossible Altitude’
Updated Dec 17, 2024 11:35 am
New footage taken from a commercial plane traveling from Chicago O’Hare International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport has added even more mystery to the recent sightings of UFOs and drones all over the United States.
The video, taken by a passenger on the flight, shows at least four glowing orbs moving and hovering well above the clouds.
Earlier this month, video and images of an orb-shaped UFO allegedly taken by a co-pilot on a runway at Manchester Airport in Great Britain caused a stir online.
While this particular orb-shaped UFO was spotted near the ground, a group of scientists and researchers formed by NASA to study UFOs announced last year that a large number of unexplained metallic orbs have been spotted at high altitudes all over the world.
This new UFO footage comes hot on the heels of mysterious drones causing the shutdown of airspace over Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and a spate of other sightings of unexplained drones over the Staten Island area in New York and New Jersey, as well as in San Diego County and other parts of Southern California, in Bowie, Maryland, and at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
The witness, going by the name of Ed, who shot this new orb-shaped UFO video told The Express, “I started noticing the objects about 20 minutes into the flight and then towards the end of the flight.
The objects show more detail than I noticed with my naked eye.”
Analysis of the airliner’s flight plan suggests that it would have been flying over Detroit at around the time of the sighting.
With the cloud layer estimated at a height of between 8,000 and 12,000 feet, it’s unlikely that any commercially-available drone would be able to hold station at the apparent altitude of those objects.
While it’s possible that the objects in Ed’s clip are other airliners, the Flight Radar doesn’t show any commercial flights in that region at the time of recording.
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated this week, while addressing the recent rash of strange drone sightings, “We assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and even stars that were mistakenly reported as drones.
“We have not identified anything anomalous or any national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the Northeast, the work continues.”
New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith disagreed, claiming this week that the drones are being flown by a “major military power.”
“The elusive maneuvering of these drones suggests a major military power sophistication that begs the question whether they have been deployed to test our defense capabilities — or worse — by violent dictatorships, perhaps maybe Russia, or China, or Iran, or North Korea,” he claimed.
New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew had earlier claimed that “very high sources, very qualified sources, very responsible sources” told him that they suspect the drones are connected to an Iranian “mothership” stationed off the East Coast of the United States.
None of those explanations, however, explain the glowing orb-shaped UFOs that were filmed on the commercial flight from Chicago to Newark.
