Staff Reports
In a classic case of “What on Earth is happening above our heads?” the residents of New Jersey’s Morris and Somerset counties are on high alert over mysterious aerial activity that has caught the eyes—and imaginations—of locals. While the Garden State is famous for its beautiful landscapes and delightful diners, it appears that some folks would rather discuss unidentified flying objects rather than which roadside burger joint has the best fries. And naturally, this story arises near none other than President Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf resort, which has become a hotbed for heightened speculation.
Reports have been coming in since November, with residents describing these flying contraptions as “small car-sized drones” hovering ominously in the skies. It’s as if the aliens have caught wind of Trump’s fabulous weekend retreat and decided to swing by for a visit. Meanwhile, local folks are scratching their heads, wondering if this is some sort of avant-garde art installation or simply a malfunctioning fleet of drones that took a wrong turn in the midst of their recreational escapades.
The local law enforcement agencies are hardly amused. While they reassure everyone that there’s “no known threat to public safety,” they have their hands full managing the influx of reports from frantic residents. Think about it: How could hovering drones create anything but paranoia in a state where people are already on edge? The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office teamed up with the FBI, State Police, and Homeland Security to investigate this puzzling phenomenon, which many are taking all too seriously—because nothing says “I have free time” like scanning the sky for UFOs.
Since November the FBI has been advised about unidentified and unmanned aircraft hovering in the skies near Trump's New Jersey golf resort. FBI is now getting involved. https://t.co/7579t8kU01

One resident, who alarmingly insists on being identified as Mike Walsh, claims he witnessed these soaring enigma machines hanging out in his backyard for upwards of four hours over a fortnight. The skies have been buzzing with activity, with one local even mentioning that they’re “up nightly since mid-November.” As if this isn’t peculiar enough, Mayor Matt Murello has also chimed in to confirm these mystery sightings, adding a layer of authority to what seems like a real-life episode of “The X-Files.”
Although these complaints may sound amusing, they also signal a deeper concern among residents as the FBI and State Police look for additional eyewitness accounts to solve this aerial riddle. Perhaps it’s just another case of government inefficiency, or maybe it’s a plot by the left to distract us from more pressing issues, like skyrocketing gas prices or the latest antics in D.C. Whatever it is, it’s safe to say the sky isn’t the limit for local speculation—it’s just the convenient backdrop to a peculiar and ongoing investigation.
