As a result of Southwest and Delta having major hubs in Atlanta, I have a ton of pilots who listen to my show. These pilots tell me that a number of the mystery drones seen in New Jersey are simply misidentified civilian drones that are operating below 1000 feet or passenger jets on a normal trajectory. In fact, one “mystery drone” had the exact same tail as a Southwest plane.
But there’s clearly something else going on and elected officials like Cory Booker are growing frustrated at the lack of transparency by federal agencies. Here’s my take:
I gotta say it feels allot like the atmosphere before 9/11 when many agencies reported chatter of a major attack.
Let’s hope this is just normal mass hysteria.
Near the close of an exceedingly warm day, I was sitting, book in hand, at an open window, commanding, through a long vista of the river banks, a view of a distant hill, the face of which nearest my position, had been denuded, by what is termed a land-slide, of the principal portion of its trees.... Uplifting my eyes from the page, they fell upon the naked face of the hill, and upon an object — upon some living monster of hideous conformation, which very rapidly made its way from the summit to the bottom, disappearing finally in the dense forest below. As this creature first came in sight, I doubted my own sanity — or at least the evidence of my own eyes;... Yet when I describe the monster, (which I distinctly saw, and calmly surveyed through the whole period of its progress,)...
Estimating the size of the creature by comparison with the diameter of the large trees near which it passed — the few giants of the forest which had escaped the fury of the land-slide — I [page 435:] concluded it to be far larger than any ship of the line in existence.
