The Ocean County, New Jersey Sheriff’s Office reported that 50 drones suddenly emerged from the ocean last night, prompting the Coast Guard to conduct a full-scale investigation.
Investigators spotted 13 drones off the coast, each with an estimated wingspan of 8 feet.
The Sheriff’s department launched its own “industrial-grade” drone in pursuit, but it was dramatically outpaced by the mysterious drones, which “disappeared into thin air.”
Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles, “coming off the ocean.”
“If this is not our military, then it’s even more scary,” McHugh said.
Ocean County Sheriff’s Office has struggled to track the flying objects as they don’t give off heat like regular drones.
“We don’t know [why]. It’s not something we’ve had our hands on or experienced,” one officer said.

McHugh also saw the drones and presented his findings on Elizabeth Vargas Reports, admitting the discovery left him stunned.
“If this is not the military, it is even more terrifying. These things look like they are fixed-wing and they have multiple lights,” he said.
“I’m not really sure how to process what I saw last night. Both the photographer and I were kind of stunned.”
Meanwhile, President-elect Donald Trump has called for greater transparency on the drone sightings, demanding the Biden White House shoot them down.
In a Truth Social Post, Trump wrote:
“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT.”
However, former FBI counter-drone specialist Robert D’Amico said hooting the drones down would be reckless and could result in serious injury or death.
