The new jersey drone frenzy is getting so big that even after it becomes obvious that it is an epic case of mass hysteria, it will be too embarrassing to admit it. It is likely to become some kind of lingering myth. Like the myth of Donald Trump’s intelligence.

Until November I lived within 10 miles of that reported encounter. I think it’s a mass hysteria, people who rarely ever look at the night sky are going out and seeing benign normal stuff. But some real sightings of private or government drones may have sparked it. US government or foreign.
