COMMENTARY

By Andrew P. Napolitano - Wednesday, December 18, 2024

OPINION:

The skies over New Jersey have been littered with strange flying objects for two weeks, and the feds are hiding the truth from terrified Americans or scratching their heads along with the rest of us. Since early December, there have been between 3,000 and 5,000 reports of large drones — some about the size of a pickup truck. They have three or four arms, at the ends of which are bright lights.

The drone I saw over the northwest tip of the state appeared to come toward me and stood perfectly still. Then — in a heartbeat — it was gone. I didn’t immediately call the police but spoke with them through back channels. New Jersey State Police dispatched a helicopter — manned by two troopers — to pursue the beast but not to interfere with it. As their helicopter approached, the drone fled from them and seemed to disappear.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy — who had no use for the Bill of Rights during the COVID-19 pandemic four years ago — sees no threat to public safety or peace. The White House — which must know the origin and nature of these things — also professes ignorance. President-elect Donald Trump — in this instance, a man after my own heart — said that if this happens on his watch, he’d order the drones shot down.

Don’t expect that from President Biden. Remember the two weeks in which we all watched a huge Chinese “weather” balloon make its way from Alaska to South Carolina, only to have it shot down over the Atlantic? That manifested Mr. Biden’s attitude about strange and terrifying flying objects.

Can people shoot these beasts out of the sky? The uncomfortable answer is yes and no.

Here is the backstory.
