Suas anns na speuran, an e drone, itealan neo heileacoptair a tha sin?
Eòlaichean a bhios a’ sgrùdadh siostaman itealain gun luchd-obrach – ris an canar nas fheàrr drones – ag ràdh gum faod e a bhith duilich innse bho mhìltean air falbh. Ach tha sanasan ann.
Tha e furasta mì-mhìneachadh a dhèanamh air solas anns na speuran air an oidhche, a rèir John Slaughter, stiùiriche Ionad Sgrùdaidh is Obrachaidh Siostaman Itealain gun luchd-obrach aig Oilthigh Maryland.
“Chan urrainn dhut dìreach coiseachd a-muigh agus a ràdh, ‘O, chan e drone a tha sin,’ no ‘Sin worry.’ Chan urrainn dhut a ràdh gu fìrinneach ach ‘Chunnaic mi solas anns na speuran,’ ”thuirt Marbh.
Chaidh na dusanan de thursan dìomhair tron oidhche fhaicinn an toiseach Jersey Nuadh air a’ mhìos a chaidh agus a tha ri fhaicinn a-nis air feadh na SA air draghan a thogail am measg luchd-còmhnaidh agus oifigearan. Tha pàirt den dragh a’ tighinn bho na stuthan itealaich a chaidh fhaicinn an toiseach faisg air Picatinny Arsenal, goireas sgrùdaidh agus saothrachadh armachd na SA, agus thairis air raon goilf a’ Cheann-suidhe-taghaidh Dòmhnall Trump ann an Bedminster.
An e plèana a th’ anns na solais lasrach sin?
Tha solais deàlrach aig plèanaichean agus heileacoptairean agus mar as trice co-dhiù aon solas dearg an-aghaidh bualadh, gu tric dhà. Bidh iad cuideachd a’ spòrs solais seòlaidh, a tha nan solais de dhath dearg is uaine mar an fheadhainn a lorgar air bàtaichean. Bidh solais strobe geal aig mòran cuideachd aig bàrr nan sgiathan. Agus tha solais laighe soilleir aca.
Chan fheum drones a tha ag itealaich air an oidhche ach aon solas soilleir an-aghaidh bualadh a tha ri fhaicinn 3 mìle (5 cilemeatair) air falbh. Ach faodaidh sealbhadairean drone solais eile a chuir ris, agus mar sin tha barrachd air aon aig cuid. Tha drones nas lugha, agus mar sin nuair a tha grunn sholais aca tha iad faisg air a chèile, ach air an oidhche gu tric chan eil e comasach faighinn a-mach dè cho fada air falbh a tha iad.
“Is e dìreach puing soilleir a th’ ann an solas, ”thuirt Mgr Slaughter.
Dè am fuaim a bhios drone a’ dèanamh?
Tha drones buailteach a bhith nas sàmhaiche agus a’ dèanamh fuaim nas àirde na na tha air a chruthachadh leis na h-einnseanan jet no na propellers a bhios a’ draibheadh phlèanaichean agus heileacoptairean. Ach faodaidh drones nas motha a bhith nas àirde, agus is dòcha gum bi e duilich am fuaim aithneachadh bho astar.
Dh’ fhaodadh àireamh aithneachaidh a bhith aig drones nas truime na timcheall air leth-phunnd (0.2 cileagram) air an taobh a-muigh.
“Gu cinnteach chan fhaiceadh tu air an oidhche e, agus dh’ fheumadh tu a bhith faisg air fhaicinn, fhios agad, tron latha,” thuirt Paul R. Snyder, stiùiriche prògram Siostam Itealain gun luchd-obrach ann an Oilthigh a Tuath Sgoil Saidheansan Aerospace Dakota.
A bheil drone a’ gluasad mar sin?
Tha plèanaichean agus eadhon heileacoptairean buailteach gluasad gu rèidh san adhar, ach faodaidh drones ioma-copter stad air dime, pivot 90 ceum agus cùrsa air ais, thuirt Slaughter.
“Faodaidh an seòrsa gluasad sin beachd a thoirt dhut gu bheil thu a’ coimhead air drone, chan e itealan, ”thuirt e.

Up to now, federal companies have repeatedly issued assurances that the drone sightings, alleged or in any other case, aren’t the results of international exercise however haven’t defined what they really are.
And as a few of those self same officers have appropriately identified, the void of silence from federal authorities relating to the true clarification for the phenomenon has opened a vacuum for disinformation and conspiracy theories.
Far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed, with none proof, that the drones have been truly federally operated.
She gave no cause for why that may be or their supposed goal, solely giving her social media followers a imprecise sense of unease with the declaration: “It truly is that unhealthy.”
Democratic congressman Jim Himes, the highest Democrat on the Home Intelligence committee, fired again that Greene’s assertion was incorrect.
“That is completely not true. And actually irresponsible to say,” he wrote in response.
Himes informed Fox Information Sundaythat “there’s a variety of us who’re fairly pissed off proper now,” and “the reply ‘we don’t know’ just isn’t a ok reply.”
Homeland Safety secretary Alejandro Mayorkas additionally sought to deal with the rising panic together with his Sunday morning look on ABC’s This Week. However the secretary, like different oficials, had little to supply past guarantees to behave and complaints of his personal restricted authority to research unidientified unmanned plane.
“A few of these drone sightings are, in actual fact, drones. Some are manned plane which can be generally mistaken for drones,” Mayorkas mentioned. “However there’s no query that drones are being sighted.”
The FBI and Division of Homeland Safety mentioned final Thursday that federal authorities had no proof of a “international nexus” for the drones allegedly noticed by residents of New Jersey.
“We take severely the menace that may be posed by unmanned plane methods (UAS), which is why legislation enforcement and different companies proceed to assist New Jersey and examine the studies,” the companies mentioned in a press release.
“To be clear, they have uncovered no such malicious exercise or intent at this stage,” they added. “Whereas there isn’t any identified malicious exercise occurring in New Jersey, the reported sightings there do, nevertheless, spotlight the insufficiency of present authorities.”

However the criticism leveled on the companies, together with by Democrats, is of a failure to offer clear solutions to the American public to mitigate a burgeoning panic.
Quite a few state and native leaders have now written the Biden administration asking officers to tackle a higher sense of urgency within the investigation into the drones, together with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer is calling for not too long ago declassified radar expertise to be deployed throughout New York and New Jersey that would assist decide whether or not the objects are drones or birds, after which observe the objects again to the place they got here from.
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal even recommended assist for the federal government to attempt to “take them out” if it may possibly’t clarify the place they’re coming from.
“We must be performing some very pressing intelligence evaluation and take them out of the skies, particularly in the event that they’re flying over airports or navy bases,” he mentioned this week.
Writing on Reality Social on Friday, Trump mentioned: “Thriller sightings all around the nation. Can this actually be occurring with out our authorities’s data? I do not suppose so! Let the general public know, and now. In any other case, shoot them down!!!”
Residents there have noticed dozens of drones flying at night time close to delicate places, together with the Picatinny Arsenal – a US navy analysis facility – and Trump’s golf course in Bedminster.
Some witnesses claimed the drones have been bigger than these used for leisure functions, with reviews suggesting some have been even the dimensions of an SUV.
The sightings have sparked a combined response. Whereas Governor Phil Murphy has assured the general public that the drones pose no menace to security, others aren’t so satisfied.
Congressman Andy Kim, as an illustration, shared a video of drones close to Spherical Valley Reservoir on X, writing: “This has gone on for weeks. It’s onerous to grasp how, with the expertise now we have, we aren’t in a position to observe these units to find out origin.”
Homeland Safety officers held discussions with native leaders earlier this week to handle the rising issues.
However Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has downplayed the state of affairs, suggesting many sightings are circumstances of mistaken id.
Chatting with CNN, he mentioned: “Now we have not seen any uncommon exercise. We all know of no menace. We all know of no nefarious exercise. Expertise has not confirmed any drone sightings.”
Mayorkas added that some reviews turned out to be small plane somewhat than drones.
Nevertheless, with sightings rising throughout the nation – from Washington DC to California – scepticism stays excessive.
The FBI is now investigating the incidents and has inspired residents to submit images, movies, or every other proof.
In the meantime, the Pentagon insists there’s no menace to nationwide safety however has been unable to clarify the place the drones are coming from or who is working them.
As officers seek for solutions, some conspiracy theories are additionally filling the knowledge void.
Some conspiracy theorists have linked the sightings to “Mission Blue Beam,” a decades-old principle claiming governments plan to stage celestial occasions, and even alien invasions, to govern the general public.
Whereas far-fetched, such concepts have gained traction on-line, fuelled by frustration over the shortage of official explanations.
Footage on social media seems to point out a drone focusing on a navy within the Russian metropolis of Grozny in Chechnya.
Russian Telegram channels have blamed Ukraine for the assault in what could be a formidable show of their drone preventing capabilities if true.
The Chechnyan capital is round 1,500km from Ukrainian territory, highlighting the huge distances that may now be lined by the cheap however lethal weapon.

Different experiences declare {that a} navy facility used as a staging publish earlier than sending troops to Ukraine has additionally been hit.
Chechen chief Ramzan Kadyrov stated a drone was “shot down” over a police constructing with 4 guards receiving minor accidents.
In a publish on Telegram, he stated: “The drone exploded within the air, broken the roof and broke the home windows. The fragments brought on a small fireplace which was rapidly extinguished.”
Kadyrov is a long-term supporter of Putin and has despatched 1000’s of troops to help him in his efforts in Ukraine.
The Russian defence ministry stated it shot down 16 Ukrainian drones in a single day, together with one over Chechnya, three within the neighbouring area of North Ossetia and eight over the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea.
Ukraine not often claims accountability for assaults launched outdoors its internationally-recognised borders.

Drones of indeterminate origin have been buzzing New Jersey during the last month, prompting a combined bag of responses from lawmakers. The state’s governor has insisted the drones are protected, whereas a Congressman believes they’re the vanguard of an Iranian “mothership.”
Homeland safety officers and regional lawmakers met on Wednesday to debate the sightings additional.
Dozens of mysterious nighttime flights began final month and have raised rising concern amongst residents and officers.

Operators should even be FAA licensed.
President-elect Donald Trump weighed in on Friday, calling on the airborn objects to be shot down.
“Thriller Drone sightings everywhere in the Nation,” he wrote on Fact Social. “Can this actually be occurring with out our authorities’s information. I don’t suppose so! Let the general public know, and now. In any other case, shoot them down!!!”
Most, however not all, of the aerial objects noticed in New Jersey had been bigger than drones sometimes utilized by hobbyists, with stories claiming some are the scale of an SUV,

“As well as, it has confirmed that some drone sightings are in truth small plane.”
Gov. Phil Murphy and native regulation enforcement officers have pressured that the drones don’t seem to threaten public security. The FBI has been investigating and has requested residents to share any movies, photographs or different data they could have.

“This has gone on for weeks,” he wrote together with the movies. “It’s onerous to know how with the expertise we’ve got we aren’t capable of monitor these units to find out origin and this makes me rather more involved about our capabilities extra broadly in relation to drone detection and counter measures.”
Many municipal lawmakers have known as for extra restrictions on who’s entitled to fly the unmanned units. At the least one state lawmaker proposed a short lived ban on drone flights.
“That is one thing we’re taking lethal critically. I don’t blame individuals for being annoyed,” New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy stated earlier this week.
New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew echoed Murphy’s sentiments.
“We now have a significant issue with our aerospace,” he stated on Wednesday earlier than the Home Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. “The latest sightings of unidentified drones within the state of New Jersey, my residence state, is justifiably inflicting large public concern.”
Not like Murphy, nevertheless, Van Drew blamed the drones on an “Iranian mothership.”
“I’ve discovered, for actual, that there’s circumstantial proof that there is an Iranian mothership off the East Coast of the USA, and that is launching these drone incursions,” he stated.
Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh shot that principle down, assuring ABC Information that there “isn’t any fact to that — there is no such thing as a Iranian ship off the coast of the USA, and there is no so known as mothership launching drones in the direction of the USA.”
“We’re going to proceed to watch what is occurring,” Singh stated. “At no level had been our installations threatened when this exercise was occurring.”
Van Drew didn’t purchase the Pentagon’s response, insisting throughout an ABC Information interview that there’s a “actual chance that it’s a overseas entity.”
“[The Pentagon says] to us there’s nothing to concern, however we don’t know who it’s, the place it comes from, what it is about, and what it may well do,” he stated.

Republican Assemblyman Erik Peterson, whose district consists of components of the state the place the drones have been reported, stated he and different legislators met with Homeland Safety and state police officers for about 90 minutes at a state police facility in West Trenton.
Peterson stated DHS officers had been beneficiant with their time, however appeared dismissive of some issues, saying not all of the sightings reported have been confirmed to contain drones.
“So who or what’s behind the flying objects? The place are they coming from? What are they doing? “My understanding is that they haven’t any clue,” Peterson stated.
A message in search of touch upon Peterson’s remarks was left with the Division of Homeland Safety.
Many of the drones have been noticed alongside coastal areas and a few had been lately reported flying over a big reservoir in Clinton. Sightings even have been reported in neighboring states, together with the New York Metropolis space, and over Pennsylvania’s Delaware County and Philadelphia.
James Edwards, of Succasunna, New Jersey, stated he has seen a number of drones flying over his neighborhood since final month.
“It raises concern primarily as a result of there’s a lot that is unknown,” Edwards stated Wednesday. “There are many individuals spouting off about numerous conspiracies that they imagine are in play right here, however that solely provides gas to the hearth unnecessarily. We have to wait and see what is admittedly occurring right here, not let concern of the unknown overtake us.”
