YouTuber says video shows drones flying ‘in deliberate formations’ off New Jersey coast

A former stock car racer and self-proclaimed paranormal investigator has posted footage to YouTube he said shows drones flying off the New Jersey coast in “deliberate formations” over the Atlantic Ocean.

CJ Faison, a Delaware YouTuber with 600,000 subscribers, rented himself a boat, grabbed his night vision video camera, and ventured from the Pine Barrens to the ocean 26 miles east.

Faison claimed in the 45-minute video to be “doing something no YouTuber or news outlet has done.”

He teased in the footage “we think we uncovered the truth” about the recent sightings of mysterious unmanned aircraft hovering over the Garden State.

Sightings of unidentified drones emitting strange light patterns started back in mid-November, and reached a fever pitch around Dec. 8.

The debate over what the drones actually are and who is controlling them rages on, with the feds providing little more than assurances they pose no threat to the public.

Like most of the purported drone footage online, Faison’s footage from the rented boat fails to provide clear images of what he claimed were drones that emerged from the ocean.

A series of blinking lights was caught by Faison’s camera.

He noted the lights blinked in a pattern similar to the lights of commercial aircraft.

“They’re blending in,” the YouTuber said. “Hidden in plain sight!”

Some of the alleged drones Faison filmed moved quickly, darting across the horizon.

“It’s wild,” he proclaimed. “It’s eerie.”

“This is only the beginning,” Faison further warned. “I have so many questions. What’s launching these drones? How are they staying airborne for hours? What’s their energy source? And why here? Why New Jersey?”

New Jersey officials said this week the number of sightings had dropped, with very little activity reported around Christmas.

The drop-off follows FAA-imposed restrictions on New York and New Jersey airspace.

The FBI said it has investigated approximately 5,000 of the various reports it received from the public, with about 100 deemed credible.
