I sat and watched a piece yesterday.....NJ politician, who'd talked to some fed-anonymous source, and the 'solution' to the drones in New Jersey....was that some Iranian 'mother-ship' (probably a freighter with a transponder off) was parked off the coast.
An hour or two later....the Pentagon folks announced that the drones are NOT Pentagon property....nor assets of a adversary of the US (meaning Iran, or China or Russia).
I tried to contemplate all of this....which doesn't really 'fit'.
There are at least thirty locations (the UK among them)....where the drones are operating.....so this 'mother-ship' BS doesn't work.
How the Pentagon said the adversary stuff? Total and absolute BS.
So I'm still with the Chinese high-tech drone theory.
As for the idea of Chinese freighters parked off NJ....with the transponders turned off? I could see that being the case.....but if so.....I'd suggest five to ten ships in this situation. And I'd say the same for the Gulf of Mexico.
How long this continues? I would suggest....just suddenly....all drone events stop for a month. Then they will ramp back up.
