I heard that “mothership” story too. It made about as much sense to me as the story about bamboo ballots in the 2020 election.
Perhaps they’re being dropped from Chinese stealthy stratospheric sky balloons. You heard it here first folks. 
Well that narrows it down to any one of the 435 congresscritters. 
That’s because an Iranian mothership off the coast would be silly. A mothership (with, say, a diameter of one kilometer) flying over New Jersey, on the other hand makes perfect sense.
Technically, US Strategic Command now, but same diff.
When I was living on the base, I could walk out the front door and look down the hill to visualize all the crosshairs marking intended ground zero for the multiple megatons we were expecting. In a world where the living envy the dead, we would have been amongst the most envied.
Mea culpa, I started living there in 1969 and SAC was what it was called then so that imprinted in my brain. I be old and my neurons are stiff.
A lot of “old-timers” still called it SAC. Like my dad, a veteran of the thing. Whereas my association with the command was after they became USSTRATCOM. (Although that was nearly 30 years ago.)
TL : DW - If Iran was placing huge ships just off shore, we’d know it.
Now, let’s not get hasty…
OK, this is getting strange.
Fox News is talking about people taking matters into their own hands
I bet this turns out to be mostly airplanes and helicopters and a case of mass hysteria.
Now the folks in my small town south of San Jose are claiming they’re seeing drones over rural commuter routes. I see their excited discussions on nextdoor, and the occasional posting of a light in the night sky, which look to me just like airplanes lining up to land at a nearby municipal airport. They’re advising each other to shoot 'em down.
I’m on to you, Bigbooty!
As Orson Welles’ experiment showed, the people of New Jersey are very quick to jump to mass hysteria. (Another example; their belief, despite all evidence to the contrary, that they have better pizza than New Haven.)
Blackhawks over Los Angeles is an album and song name by Strung Out and every time I read this thread title the song pops into my head.
“And on and on they drone
In the spotlight glare, this is crazy
All broken glass and panic attacks
Silicone and pillbox hat there’s
Panic in the streets tonight”
I’ve known a few professors who could certainly drone on for hours.
Just discovered that some folks in the Pittsburgh area have spotted these drones last night lol.
I really don’t know what to think.
I was talking to my mother (who lives west of New Haven) yesterday, and she said people in Connecticut have reported seeing the drones.
Oof. Y’all should see what the MAGAs are saying over on Breitbart. They’re in full “this is traitorous Joe’s fault” meltdown.
For anyone who has any faith in humanity, don’t look.
Next thing you know the aliens will begin leaving crop circles on the ground near where the drones are concentrated.
There are already yabbos who urge the shooting down of “chemtrail” planes, so there’s a real risk that morons will open fire on what turns out to be ordinary commercial or private aircraft.
A suitably creepy theme song for the thread:
