From the New York Post: A private company at a high-powered Army conference demonstrated a unique aircraft at the event — and allegedly took responsibility for setting off last year’s drone and “UFO” pandemonium in New Jersey, a source told The Post.
At the Army’s UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker in August, a private contractor conducted a live demonstration of a manned aerial craft that wowed the crowd with its unconventional appearance and unorthodox flight-movements, an attendee told The Post.
“You remember that big UFO scare in New Jersey last year? Well, that was us,” an employee of the unnamed contractor claimed to a small group after the demonstration, according to the source who was invited to the summit.
The company was in the air over the Garden State in November 2024 to “test out their capabilities,” the contractor’s employee claimed to the source — adding they were not required to disclose their activity to the public because of a private government contract.
The private company reportedly gave a live demonstration of their manned drone-like contraption.

The mysterious drones had buzzed over New Jersey in November and December, freaking out local residents and prompting both panic and wild speculations on what they could be.
The Biden administration had claimed there was no national security threat, but failed to ease the growing concern from the public or give a reasonable explanation for the sudden increase in all the drones buzzing in the sky every night.
The drones were spotted flying over Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey golf course, and near multiple military sites, including Picatinny Arsenal, Naval Weapons Station Earle, Fort Hamilton, Fort Monmouth, and Naval Station Newport, sparking even greater security concerns.
Then-president-elect Donald Trump first called for authorities to shoot down the mysterious drones
“The government knows what is happening,” Trump said in mid-December, adding, “Our military know where they took off from… and for some reason they don’t want to comment. I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows and our president knows, and for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.”
“Something strange is going on and for some reason they don’t want to tell the people,” he added.
President Trump is canceling his own trip to Bedminster because the drones are flying over his property. This tells you all you need to know.
President Trump said what I said last week. Our government knows what these drones are doing.
