I have said there are no drones. Well, at least, no illegal, foreign, coordinated, secret, spooky drones. 

Not a single one?

It is known.

Apparently so.  Here, I would have assumed that China, Russia and Iran all have covert US drone programs in case of war, and that part of that would mean flying drones over the US occasionally during peacetime.

Now this is more convincing, but it's still not a drone.

this story disappeared all at once.

I wonder what the other hand is doing.

Or what it was masking by misdirection?

The FAA will conduct drone-detection testing in Cape May, New Jersey, between April 14-25. 

The FAA’s Center of Excellence for UAS Research (ASSURE) will conduct the testing. The Delaware River Bay Authority Police and other local first responders will also participate. 

The FAA will operate several large drones and more than 100 commercial off-the-shelf drones during the two-week period. Testing will take place over the water and near the Cape May Ferry Terminal during the daytime on weekdays only. The public should not fly recreational drones near this area during the test period. 

The agency has been testing drone detection technologies at airports over the last few years and is expanding testing to off-airport locations. These tests will help determine the effectiveness of these technologies and whether they might interfere with FAA or aircraft navigation systems.  

The FAA conducted the first of these off-airport tests in Alaska and will conduct additional testing in New Mexico, North Dakota and Mississippi later this year.

 

I assume this means they have truck-mounted microwave radar systems.

Or trailer. Or containerized.
