Pirate Aircraft Authorized by FAA for Research and Various other Reasons
During her first White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed growing concerns regarding the mysterious drone activity over New Jersey, a topic that had sparked widespread speculation and uncertainty among residents. As reports of large numbers of drones appearing in the night sky circulated, many questioned their origin and purpose, with some even suspecting potential national security implications.
Given that Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has now replaced John Kirby, it would be fitting for her to receive a formal invitation to New Jersey to witness the aerial phenomena firsthand. Following the precedent set by Mine Hill Mayor Sam Morris, who previously invited Kirby to observe these unexplained events, extending the same offer to Leavitt could encourage greater government transparency and direct engagement with concerned residents.
In response, Leavitt read a direct statement from President Trump:
“After research and study, the drones that are flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyist, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones. And in time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.”
By emphasizing that the drones had been sanctioned by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for legitimate research purposes, the statement sought to quell rising fears. The acknowledgment that a significant portion of the drone activity stemmed from hobbyists and private users reinforced the idea that much of the concern had been fueled by public curiosity rather than any genuine threat. Leavitt reiterated that there was no foreign involvement or adversarial intent behind the sightings, dismissing speculation that these drones were linked to hostile actors.
Previously on December 16, 2024, President Donald Trump asserted that the U.S. military and the president were aware of the origins of recent UFOs over New Jersey, suggesting full transparency was needed.
Her remarks ultimately aimed to reassure the public, asserting that the situation was under control and did not represent a national security risk. While the volume of drone sightings had increased, it was not due to malicious activity but rather a combination of authorized research operations and a growing number of drone enthusiasts eager to observe and participate. The White House’s response positioned the event as an example of how modern technology and widespread access to drones can sometimes lead to unwarranted alarm, underscoring the importance of transparency in addressing such concerns.
The response from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt regarding the widespread drone activity over New Jersey and the declared “and various other reasons” is particularly interesting given its timing and the broader concerns about unexplained phenomena. It coincides with ongoing discussions about missing people without a trace.
Previously, on February 14, 2023, Senator John Kennedy delivered striking remarks following a classified briefing on aerial objects over U.S. airspace, challenging the mainstream narrative. He dismissed the idea that these unidentified flying objects had suddenly appeared in recent weeks, emphasizing instead that they have been present for many years and that the government has long been aware of them.
Kennedy expressed concern over the lack of transparency, calling for President Biden and the Director of National Intelligence to address the public about what is known and unknown. He also questioned why the government had waited until now to take action, suggesting that intelligence officials have not been forthcoming with the full truth. While he avoided speculating on political motives, he stressed that the American people deserve answers. Are these objects a threat? If not, how do officials know that? He left the briefing with more questions than answers, stating that if anyone feels confused, they actually understand the situation perfectly.
His final words on the matter were particularly chilling: “Lock your doors tonight.” This remark, while possibly in jest, underscored the uncertainty surrounding the situation. The implication was clear—there is more to this story than the public is being told.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s statement on the New Jersey drone activity is intriguing, especially in how it seems to create deliberate distance between these aerial events and the broader UFO discourse unfolding in Congress and the Senate.
Previously, in August 2002, the Crabwood crop circle appeared in England, featuring an alien face and a binary message. When decoded, it warned: “Beware the bearers of false gifts & broken promises. Much pain but still time. Believe. There is good out there. We oppose deception.” Many see this as a warning to humanity about deceptive extraterrestrial influences and hidden consequences of accepting unknown “gifts.”
In late 2024, numerous New Jersey residents reported sightings of large, mysterious drones hovering over neighborhoods and infrastructure during nighttime hours. Concurrently, some individuals experienced electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as disruptions to radio signals and malfunctions of electronic devices, coinciding with these drone appearances. For instance, residents noted unusual noises and radio signal disruptions during these events, suggesting that the drones might be emitting signals that inadvertently or deliberately disrupt electronic equipment. These occurrences have led to increased concern and speculation among the public regarding the drones’ origins and purposes.
Residents across New Jersey and other places have reported witnessing mysterious aerial phenomena, particularly during nighttime. Many describe observing bright, spherical orbs that exhibit unusual flight patterns, such as hovering silently, moving at high speeds, or making abrupt directional changes. Some witnesses claim these orbs transform mid-flight, morphing from glowing spheres into structures resembling conventional aircraft, complete with blinking lights and plane-like silhouettes.
In December 2024, during a United Airlines flight from Tampa to Newark, passengers observed a mysterious object closely trailing their aircraft. Described as a glowing, orb-like plane, the object exhibited intelligent movement, maintaining proximity to the commercial jet for an extended period. Unlike typical aircraft lights or reflections, this phenomenon did not resemble lens flares, drones, or conventional planes. Some have speculated that this could be one of the so-called “Pirate Aircraft“—unidentified aerial vehicles operating outside standard air traffic control. This encounter has heightened concerns about aviation safety and the potential for unknown entities interacting with commercial flights.
In January 2025, military veteran Jacob Barber came forward with claims of direct involvement in a covert U.S. government program dedicated to retrieving and reverse-engineering unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Barber’s testimony, supported by documentation and corroborated by colleagues, includes video evidence of a downed “egg-shaped” craft of non-human origin. This revelation coincides with increased public reports of mysterious aerial sightings and electromagnetic disturbances in New Jersey, intensifying debates over governmental transparency regarding UAP encounters.
