My town of Ringwood NJ has recently become a hot spot for large mysterious drones. While it’s made the national news, there are still a lot of people who think “it’s just airplanes” or “it’s made up”, so I have been trying to capture a photo, but they are not cooperating. The drones arrive after it’s dark, move fast enough that a tripod isn’t an option and they’re too far away to use a flash…at least a normal flash (I’m trying to be creative).

Flying my own drone towards them hasn’t worked either since they can go faster than my Mavic 3 Pro which tops out at around 40 MPH, but this video does show how much activity was going on one night last week. Does anyone think all of these moving lights are planes? I have no idea who is behind the mystery drones, but it’s becoming a fun hobby.
