?They?re looking for something?: rumors abound over unsettling drone sightings in New Jersey

Kyle Breese, 36, works remotely in insurance and lives in Ocean Township, New Jersey, a sleepy suburb with tree-cloaked streets, not far from beaches. Last Saturday night, with his wife and two kids inside their home, he let out his ageing dog Bruce into the backyard and then looked up.

There, in the sky, was an unmistakable floating object. Not high enough to be a planet or a star, but about the elevation of an aircraft.

“It’s not an airplane that’s just hovering there,” he described. “What it looked like, it was so high it’s tough to see, but just like a red light and a white light.”

Breese and his wife said they saw others the day before while driving to dinner. His mother Luann, 68, confirmed seeing the same thing, white and red lights floating firmly in the night sky.

“To me they’re looking for something,” said Luann about the drones. “My concern is we have ammunition bases here in New Jersey.”
