As questions about the mysterious UFO sightings in New Jersey remain unanswered, a podcast host decided to investigate the flying device by sending his own drone. However, his exploration didn’t go as planned.

Michael B, the CEO and host of the Terror Talk podcast, revealed that he flew his drone near the Picatinny Arsenal in Morris County, where there have been known UFO sightings.
As his drone was doing a sweep of the area, it unexpectedly lost power.
Michael B revealed what caused his flying device to shut down suddenly. He entered an airspace restricted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and his device gave off multiple warnings just before it lost power.
Although his drone didn’t get as much airtime as he had hoped, Michael B said he did spot a UFO just hanging out.
“I put my drone up in the air and went towards it,” he told Fox 5 New York. “I had full battery life. Not 3 minutes into the flight, I lost control of the drone.”
Michael B also told MSNBC that he tried to send his drone up near Morris County Airport to investigate the UFOs but was denied flight clearance in the area.
“None of the things we go after are on flight radar,” he stated.
The podcast host further claimed that the UFOs are in restricted airspace but can bypass the FAA security. He also said he believed the devices are a “government secret” and government officials are “playing stupid” when it comes to sharing details about the mysterious flying devices.
“Either that or aliens,” Michael B declared with a smile.
Multiple Government Agencies Release Joint Statement About the Mysterious UFO Sightings
The FBI recently announced that it has received more than 5,000 reports about drones flying over the northeastern side of the U.S. since Nov. 18. Most recently, people have been asking about the mysterious objects in New Jersey.
The agency also pointed out that around 100 of those reports warrant further investigation.
The FBI, the FAA, the Defense Department, and the Department of Homeland Security also released a joint statement about the situation.
“We assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned, fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones,” the statement reads.
U.S. government officials have also continuously stated the drones are not a security threat. However, they have not revealed who is responsible for the devices.
