Tom DeLonge offers his thoughts on mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey.
On Saturday (Dec. 14), the Blink-182 guitarist and UFO enthusiast shared a post on social media proposing a theory about the mass drone sightings that have been reported across the Garden State in recent weeks.
“Drones in question, can hover for six hours and then disappear once detected,” DeLonge wrote on Instagram. “This is why it has been difficult to get evidence from any US agency. Some of them can even move to the ocean and then take to the air. Which is called “through travel”. A very difficult thing.”
The drone sightings, which have also been reported in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut since late November, are under investigation by local, state and federal authorities, who remain baffled by the flying objects.
On Friday (December 13), White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby played down the sightings, suggesting that people may be misidentifying the manned aircraft as drones, according to the New York Post. He also assured the public that there is no need to worry. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy reported nearly 50 sightings in the state alone last week, NPR reports.
DeLonge, who has devoted many years to UFO research and awareness, compared the current sightings to mass UFO reports from the 1960s.
“There is a strong possibility that these drones are 'mimicking' other aircraft,” the Blink-182 co-founder speculated, sharing a 1960s document about a military base that had “experienced a significant number of UFO reports.”
He continued, “It's all something to consider, and [although] We don't have all the evidence yet, we do know that UFOs play “mimicry” and this has been known for some time. Why? To make us notice them without any big monsters? Who knows… but well, we notice it nonetheless.”
