Narrative
Time: Dec 31, 2024, around 8PM. Location: Northern New Jersey (Morris county). This was during the winter 2024 "drone scare" in NJ, but seriously, this is unlike any other small plane or regular drone I've ever seen. Saw a NY Post article way later about a contractor at an expo claiming their drone was behind the NJ drone scare, and it had a somewhat similar configuration, it either was or was similar to a BlackFly VTOL, but not verified, not a perfect match, and these lights are odd so idk....
