@engineer,
Hey.
I’m not sure what news reports you’ve seen are reporting.
Sightings along with footage from multiple witnesses from several states are posted online. At least two airports have been closed due to activity by multiple UFOs (or whatever nomenclature for unidentified flying objects is currently in vogue).
I understand that AI causes a healthy skepticism of video, but the governor of NY has demanded federal assistance to investigate.
I don’t think NJ stands out in any way.
