Transcript for 12/12/24: CONVERGENCE – GAME OF DRONES W/ ANTHONY F. SANCHEZ
I was thinking last night about just how terrifying it would be to see 50 drones coming for you from the sky. I would imagine it would feel like you were being attacked by large flying locusts that roar like lions -- something that if you weren’t too careful would sound like the biblical locusts spoken of in the Bible by the Revelation of John In the last days.
Large, often noisy, and launched from unknown locations by unidentified parties, ongoing sightings of mystery drones over New Jersey remain a problem, according to federal officials who are ramping up efforts to get to the bottom of the matter.
The sightings, which have occurred since mid-November, are currently being investigated by federal agencies that include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as local and state law enforcement in New Jersey and surrounding states where observations of the mystery drones have occurred.
I took notice last night that the mainstream media had finally taken interest in the drone sightings over New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia, however, the plot deepens after a large UFO was seen over the pacific by a commercial pilot near the Oregon coast.
Two pilots described seeing UFOs "zipping" through the sky west of Eugene, Oregon. In an audio recording the pilots had to maneuver around the UFO to avoid hitting it.
When Newsweek asked the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) to confirm the validity of the recording, the agency said that a pilot did report "seeing unidentified lights."
The recording's metadata and the information about the flights given by the speakers match flight records.
the pilots reported seeing unidentified red, circular lights and objects moving erratically toward the ocean and returning at various altitudes, with one saying the objects moved in corkscrew patterns and at extreme speeds.
The air traffic controllers advised one pilot to "maneuver as necessary left and right to avoid the UFO out there."
The UFO was at an altitude of 50.000 feet Normal commercial aircraft don't tend to reach 50,000 feet, which is the maximum altitude for an F-22 fighter jet.
The UFO reports in Oregon follow mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and, more recently, in New York, that are currently under investigation by the FBI.
During a Tuesday hearing on drone threats to homeland security, several members of Congress questioned how the FBI could have so few answers more than a month after drones were first reported, with some seen in the skies over sensitive military sites.
The session raised more questions than answers with regards to the spate of sightings of unidentified drones and other objects over the U.S., whose origin and purpose remain unknown. The phenomenon has fueled rumors and speculation, including about crash sites, clocks changing time and even extra-terrestrial involvement.
The story has gone from a novelty -- to a narrative that has chilling repercussions. Again we begin to understand just how vulnerable our skies are whether it be a Drone attack from a another country or a possible UFO incursion that is being masked by drone activity to distract the public from panic.
If it is the latter it is backfiring as we see that not only are conspiracy theories being thrown around about the incident -- some representatives are filling in the blanks themselves.
New Jersey Rep. Jeff Van Drew, a Republican, said the drones “very possibly could be” from Iran, citing confidential sources during an appearance on Fox News.
“I’m going to tell you the real deal. Iran launched a mothership that contains these drones,” Van Drew said. “It’s off the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones.”
He says he has information from Higher ups telling him this but later he starts talking about glorified Hobbyists launching the drones and then says he thinks they have been launched from a mothership off of the coast.
“These drones should be shot down,” he said, adding that “the military is on full alert with this.”
Van Drew has stood by his statements, however, sending a letter to President Biden imploring him to take action and laying out “circumstantial evidence” supporting his claims.
“We have information that a sea-based Iranian drone mothership is currently missing from port, and that its embarkation timeline would align with the appearance of the New Jersey Drones,” he wrote the president in a letter obtained by Agudath Israel of America news.
He added that Iran has previously sailed ships near the US, and that the country has a “sophisticated” partnership with China over drone technology.
“And of course, it is the policy of the Iranian government to bring about the destruction of the United States of America. While I remain open to alternate explanations, I have not been presented a single credible, cohesive narrative except for that Iran is controlling these drones,” Van Drew wrote.
Van Drew’s startling claim comes as officials have continually told Americans the drones pose no threat – even as the FBI has admitted they have no idea what they are or how to stop them.
Meanwhile after Van Drew made his statement, The Pentagon went out of their way to debunk his claims.
Defense officials do not believe the unidentified flying objects are coming from “a foreign entity or adversary,” deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters.
“There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States.”
Following those claims, Singh insisted “there is not any truth to that.” She did not, however, offer any alternate theory about where the drones are coming from.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said the recent drones which have been sighted in the state are "very sophisticated," saying, "the minute you get your eyes on them, they go dark."
Murphy acknowledged public frustration about the recent surge of mysterious drone sightings but emphasized that authorities have found no evidence of a threat to public safety.
"The most important point to say is we don't see any concern for public safety," he said, adding that local, state, and federal authorities, including the FBI and Homeland Security, are working together to uncover the drones' origins.
Murphy disclosed that there were 49 reported sightings on Sunday, predominantly in Hunterdon County, though he noted some reports might overlap. "These are apparently very, as I understand it, very sophisticated. The minute you get eyes on them, they go dark," he said.
Meanwhile various people around the United states are hearing the sounds of jet aircraft flying over their cities , loud aircraft and strange booms in the sky.
The booms were heard over Grand Rapids Michigan, New York, New Jersey and Kansas city Missouri.
Putting aside the idea that these are drones -- it feels like we are under an alien attack as the Unknown object phase of this situation is suspect and the maneuvers of these craft seems to not fit with regular drone activity.
Is this a psy-op of something meant to trigger the thought sof alien invasion? Combining the two possibilities makes everything sound like a science fiction scene in Battle Of Los Angeles or even Independence day.
Perhaps there are no explanations from the FAA to Governors to local law enforcement because of an unknown exercise taking place called Project CONVERGENCE.
According to research provided by Ryan Gable of the secret teachings, the project involves large drone swarms from the US, UK, and Australia being used to track simulated enemy vehicles.
The exercise showcased the power of AI in processing battlefield information. Troops used AI algorithms to quickly analyze imagery and identify potential threats.
This collaborative approach allowed for faster response times and enhanced situational awareness across a larger area compared to traditional methods. To train this AI, which has situational awareness, it is probable the entire project would be done on a need-to-know basis to collect as much real world data, and human reaction, as possible.
With situational AI awareness, drones could react to being spotted or tracked, turning off their lights for example. Images of these drones depict small car sized vehicles that can carry payloads. The US and China are also developing arial cluster drones for swarm attacks that can split into multiple units while airborne. From AI awareness, size, and payloads, to mothership drones, these are exactly the features of the New Jersey UFO flap.
The British contingent contributed a fleet of drones developed by Blue Bear, including: Two Red Kite drones, capable of traveling up to 60 miles with a 5kg payload,
Six Ghost drones, previously tested in the UK’s largest military drone swarm trial.
The US deployed three drones, including two Altius-600 models developed by Anduril. These drones can function as loitering munitions, carrying a 3kg warhead for potential strikes on high-value targets.
Australia’s contribution was the commercially available Skywalker X8, demonstrating the potential for integrating off-the-shelf technology into advanced military operations.
The exercise showcased the power of AI in processing battlefield information. Troops used AI algorithms to quickly analyze imagery and identify potential threats. This collaborative approach allowed for faster response times and enhanced situational awareness across a larger area compared to traditional methods.
There is also information about the Chinese drone program where Scientists claim their drone can split into multiple units while airborne, giving China a new tactical edge in drone swarm warfare.
Is this what is happening? Are we witnessing a top secret exercise in real time --and what exactly are the targets in this sham battle?
Another story claims that the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed an incident with one of their ships off New Jersey that was followed by unidentified aircraft.
The craft were not identified as drones. In a statement :
“multiple low-altitude aircraft were observed in the vicinity of one of our vessels near Island Beach State Park, New Jersey,"
The Coast Guard statement came in response to our questions about claims made by U.S. Rep. Chris Smith on Tuesday that a 47-foot Coast Guard ship “was followed by between 12 and 30 of Unidentified objects as they went through the water — followed, right behind them.”
US NORTHERN COMMAND offered this statement.
"USNORTHCOM conducted a deliberate analysis of the events, in consultation with other military organizations and interagency partners... at this time we have not been requested to assist with these events."
Though it denied the Iranian mothership claim, NORTHCOM is taking reports about drones flying over New Jersey seriously.
United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) said it is monitoring the situation, and that it has also conducted analysis of the incidents, although it has not been formally asked to participate with other federal agencies involved in the investigation.
“We are aware and monitoring the reports of unauthorized drone flights in the vicinity of military installations in New Jersey,” read a statement released by USNORTHCOM Directorate of Public Affairs.
“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,” the statement read, adding that USNORTHCOM will continue to assess the situation, and “is prepared to respond when asked or should the situation escalate to threaten any DoD installations.”
Earlier this month, USNORTHCOM was officially designated the Lead Synchronizer for Homeland Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations in the continental U.S. and Alaska.
On Wednesday, Dawn Fantasia, a Republican member of the General Assembly for New Jersey’s 24th legislative district, attended a briefing held for New Jersey State Legislators at the headquarters of the New Jersey State Police, where she said Department of Homeland Security officials told lawmakers they still had few answers regarding the drone incursions.
“We know nothing. PERIOD,” Fantasia said in a posting on social media summarizing key takeaways from the briefing. “To state that there is no known or credible threat is incredibly misleading,” she added.
Fantasia said that the New Jersey State Police and other state authorities were “shackled” in terms of actions that could be taken, and that “Any interception or takedown of any UAS is under the strict jurisdiction of the federal government.”
“At this point, I believe military intervention is the only path forward,” Fantasia wrote, adding that the U.S. Coast Guard would “be the most likely to intervene based upon our briefing, but even that component was shrouded in mystery.”
They still deny the Iran connection and the Mothership theory.
But this does not mean that the Drone motherships do not exist.
The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp latest ambitious naval project, the drone carrier Shahid Bagheri (C-110-4), has sailed.
The mothership appears to be on sea trials and may now be anchored outside Bandar Abbas harbor. Work on the 240 metership, a converted merchant vessel, begun in 2022, and it was launched in 2023.
The ship's distinctive outline is visible in Sentinel 2 satellite imagery . Other sources suggest that the ship is still in the vicinity. The flight deck is now marked, possibly flight tests of some sort can be expected.
In a separate report, these drone carriers were spotted early last week in the Strait of Hormuz, 7,500 miles away from New Jersey.
Is this yet another clue -- the motherships exist but they are nowhere near New Jersey at the moment.
Again what are these drones and who is responsible for the incursion, what is the Pentagon hiding in this game of drones.
Nearly four years ago, you may remember Iran made a veiled threat of a drone strike on Trump with an image posted on social media. It depicted what appeared to be the shadow of one of Iran’s flying wing-type black triangle unmanned aircraft — designs that are supposedly derived, at least in its shape, from a captured U.S. RQ-170 stealth drone — some of which are capable of dropping small munitions, looming over a figure that seems clearly intended to represent Trump taking a swing on a golf course.
That tweet, by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was in retaliation for the death of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani ordered by Trump. It led to his account being banned.
The plot deepens but as rabbit holes go this one has too many unanswered questions leading to all kinds of theories about what is up in the air scaring people below.
