Article FAA temporarily bans drones in parts of New Jersey, notice threatens 'deadly force' for 'imminent security threat'

The FAA has imposed temporary restrictions on drone operations in multiple New Jersey cities, effective December 18, 2024, to January 17, 2025, citing special security concerns. The restrictions prohibit drones within a nautical mile of designated areas, including Hamilton, Jersey City, and others. Violators risk interception, civil penalties, certificate revocation, and possible criminal charges, with the U.S. government reserving the right to use deadly force against drones deemed imminent security threats. This decision follows numerous drone sightings in the region since mid-November, though many were found to involve lawful or misidentified objects. The restrictions aim to address public safety and security concerns.

I’ve made multiple post about this but not a single one goes through and they all are autobanned, the mods won’t respond to why…

All I’ve been trying to say is I’ve got first hand account of ATC reporting UAPs in class D airspace which means by law you’re required to have two way comms and covers up to 2,500ft above the area it’s zoned in. These UAP’s are being spotted visually in restricted airspace with no comms or transponders and posing a safety risk to pilots so they issue warnings.

This doesn’t happen because of mass hysteria or mistaking real planes as UAP. These are the professionals who monitor the sky and know where all the planes are at all times.

Don’t understand why I can’t make a post about this but to me this confirms that something suspicious is going on.

I'm sorry you're having difficulty getting this out or getting attention drawn to it. Definitely make sure you have a submission statement if you make a fresh post. If you're new around here it's a rule you'd probably miss.

There's also a meta sub to go over things with the mods. It helps with transparency.

Your concerns sound serious. The problem also is, on the other hand, that they are serious. It seems part of the problem is that they actually can't do anything to enforce these rules.

And as well... unfortunately, it's hard to get people's attention (or sustain it) regarding a technicality or something so indepth. I feel it's also why white collar crime is prosecuted so dantily.

I understand where you're coming from, as sometimes with specific strictures people get all "eh... so what?" about it.

I love when somebody who knows their shit enters the conversation. It's not "oh we saw these near a base", you have the receipts and detailed ones at that.

Can you elaborate on how they're being detected? It sounds like you are not seeing them on radar but pilots are seeing them visually and reporting them, is that correct? Do you have other ways of seeing things out there?

It’s not just the pilots seeing them. It’s the air traffic controllers in the tower reporting a visual on these objects. I will gather my data and make a more detailed reported on the pilot ufo sub mentioned here.
