Uncertainty on drone sightings -- Caitlin Johnstone
Summing up her detailed review of the "news" of drones flying over New Jersey:
The US government is either knowingly lying to the public about its own UAVs or those of a US defense contractor, or it somehow legitimately does not know what these aircraft are, who they belong to, or where they are taking off from and where they are landing. It’s hard to imagine how the latter scenario could possibly be the case after all these weeks with all the technology the world’s most powerful government has at its disposal for monitoring objects in the sky — but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true.
For now, I myself am content to not know. It’s not often we get to enjoy major news stories about a complete mystery these days, so I’m going to relish this one while the mystery lasts. With all the dark, ugly things that we do know about what’s going on in our world, it’s nice to have a big strange question mark hovering around in the air for a bit.
Big Strange Question Mark Hovering Around-- We live in a culture in which our highest governmental officials have regularly been accusing each other of crimes for the last several years. Legitimacy has evaporated, even as an ideal.
Chaos rules over the skies of America.

Heh, it's Texas so of course the folks have to be warned not to shoot them down.

down by fighter jets. Paranoia runs deep.
Perhaps this is just a set-up to blame it on aliens?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
There are actually tactical maneuvers going on in
space for counter attacks against unfriendly satellites.
Laser tech, weaponized assets, etc. Not much in the gnus
about that of course. The US space force is secret - secret
stuff. Billions in spending, unaccountable of course.
This sounds more-like another diversionary tactic.
What? You saw something going flash in the sky?
Aliens! Squirrels in space suits! Hypersonic drone tests!

I have no idea what the truth is but this explanation is as good
as any that I have seen.
It does sound like they are gunning for Santa, hah.
I've wondering why nothing from even a low level FAA person has come out. Towers see everything, at least in movies I've watched.

Obviously, the recent disclosures about UFOs provide the explanation for these unidentified flying objects -- strange visitors from another planet, another solar system, hell, maybe even another universe.

New Jersey?
Hi all,
Just a tiny morsel of anecdata...
It has been a number of years, but when I lived in Jersey, I saw a lot of shit I could not explain!

.has been planning the alien drone psyops. Well before 9/11 it was planning on wars in the Middle East and when that has sucked as much money out of us it would turn to the space program. It was planned way back then too.
Sadly Americans think that their military is doing good. I just saw a shitlib praising the terrorist Julani for overthrowing Assad, he doesn’t believe that the $10 million bounty is for anything bad he did and that we brought democracy to Iraq. People will fall for this nonsense too.

Everything's ok. There is good reason to withhold this info. /s See, the gummint needs for us to be totally distracted and afraid while they do something to screw us. n's

And that isn't
even a particularly hot source, in any case. 68Ge generators are used to produce 68Ga(m) (which produces positrons as it further decays, with a half-life of 68min) as a driving source for PET scanners. This process is essentially physical in nature, and works a lot like producing short-lived 99Tc(m) from the much longer lived 99Mo.
The half-life of the parent 68Ge is 127 days, so that source was decayed well beyond its useful life and was being sent back for disposal. This is very common: hospitals routinely return their mostly-decayed radiotherapy sources, like the 99Mo "cows" from which they "milk" the 99Tc(m) for Technetium scans, pretty much on a monthly basis. I had a couple of those 99Tc(m) scans a few years back, and while they did make my detection equipment hum, they aren't a high-order "ohshit" source.
From the incident report:
Even when brand new, those specific sources have an activity of only 1.49mCi (55MBq). The one in question here is a "Less than IAEA Category 3 source", with a current activity of ~0.27 mCi- so it would not create a major public health hazard, in comparison with something like a Category 1 source. Those can do significant damage to the unwary. As a result, I have to say that this particular orphan source incident is on the low end of the scale. And while it is nontrivial, all this publicity must be intended to distract from something else altogether.
The study of serious orphan sources makes for some amusing (and often very sad) reading. Stumbling across an unshielded Category 1 source in the wild would be a very bad day. A co-worker of mine bought one of these replicas, and keeps it on his desk- and it has indeed caused a panic or two...

The dead giveaway, so to speak, is that the radioactive trefoil on the replica is upside down. But 3540Ci would certainly make one's eye's water in a hurry, if it were real...
