why is the drone story over NJ gone? why has only grainy cell phone video been released?

Because it was always a non-story. I can't vouch for the credibility of this site, but it seems like a pretty good summary of what has been reported elsewhere. Drones are a nuisance in some circumstances, but there is no evidence whatsoever that what's happening is a national security threat.

What Is The Real Story About The Drones Flying Over US Military Bases?

More and more drones are flying over US military bases around the world, although they haven't posed a direct threat yet.

"It's important to bear in mind that the issue may not be as big as it may seem. Many of the reported drone sightings across the nation are believed to have been normal aircraft operating. There may have been something of a drone mass hysteria in December about drones flying around airports (although there have been multiple confirmed cases of drones being flown at airports and bases)."

"Drones are male bees and their sole purpose is to mate with the queen: they don't work, don't make honey and can't sting. Since a queen only needs to mate once, most of the drones won't even get the chance to fulfil their role. But worker bees keep them around, just in case a new queen needs mating.

Drones usually live for about eight weeks and, in that time, have all their needs met by worker bees. In the fall, the worker bees kick the drones out of the hive because keeping them through the winter demands too much work and food.

You can recognize drones because they are stouter and a little bit longer than worker bees. Their eyes are twice the size of worker bees' eyes because a drone needs good eyesight when he follows the queen high up in the air to mate."
Just saying.....

Sounds like a Woody Allen movie-Woody is the Drone of course

For some reason the Northeast US has always been the most susceptible area of the world to believe they’re seeing shit in the sky

That graphic seems to suggest a correlation between population density and frequency of UFO sightings. Hardly any over the Amazon, Greenland, and the Antarctic.

While population is a requirement to report a sighting, it does not explain the frequency of reports. If it did India, eastern China, Japan, parts of Mexico, most of Western Europe, etc etc would be white hot.

It's almost like the areas you list are filled with people who have better things to do with their time than stare up into the sky and think, "I wonder what that is?"

We have bee hives and it is always kind of amusingly sad when you see all these drones hanging around the entrance to the hive in the fall wondering what to do. They try to walk back in and the guard workers will chase them out again.

Many are called, but only one is chosen.

As we gotten warmer in these parts, I've noticed the kicked out drones don't even bother with the small hive beetles any more either. They seem to know their fate. I have had a tougher time dealing with beetles the past few years versus dealing with mites. Always something.

I posted this earlier, but this "drone hysteria" fits perfectly with UFO history. Skeptics have pointed out for decades that UFO sightings tend to come in waves, or "flaps" as they were called a long time ago. 1947-1948, the spring and summer of 1952 (culminating in the great wave of sightings over Washington, DC in July 1952), the fall of 1957, and so on. In each case the Air Force's Project Blue Book was flooded with public sightings, but nearly all of them were eventually solved as normal phenomena, hoaxes, and so on.

And much of it was due to public hysteria and people just looking up and seeing planes, balloons, stars, meteors, etc. and claiming they were seeing alien spaceships instead, or seeing something strange when they were not. A leading astronomer at the time said that psychiatry should be used to explain people seeing normal objects and swearing that it was something unusual. These "drones" are almost certainly as fictitious and explainable as the UFO sightings were, and are just as likely due to the same mass hysteria. Basically, people seeing what they want to see.

We haven't seen the beetles (or at least haven't noticed them), but we lost both hives in 2022-2023 to mites. The previous year it was a bear. It was like a missile hit the hives. They are now behind electric fences.

I'll never forget driving up to the foothills on a Saturday morning before dawn to get the hives, hoping for a great sourwood haul, only to find the hives torn apart. Honey was still dripping from the frames, so it couldn't have happened long before. Several of the frames had well-defined claw marks in the wax. That was, simultaneously, one of the most amazing, disappointing and frightening mornings of my life.
 
You're telling me that of all the places the Iranians could have chosen to unleash their drones, they picked New Fucking Jersey??
