Last Year’s East Coast Drone Scare May Be Solved

A private company exhibiting at an Army aviation summit claimed responsibility for a series of drone and “UFO” sightings that alarmed New Jersey residents last year, according to a report in The New York Post.

At the Army’s UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker this August, the contractor gave a live demonstration of a manned aircraft that impressed attendees with its unconventional design and flight pattern, a source told The Post.

After the display, one company employee reportedly said to a small group, “You remember that big UFO scare in New Jersey last year? Well, that was us.”
