MAYBE GET SOME RECOGNITION CHARTS.

I've seen people getting worked up on social media over sightings of drones spewing vapors into the atmosphere.  You don't have to have video review, dear reader, to recognize that if there's a green light on the starboard wing and a red light on the port wing and a flashing belly light, it's an airplane, and those are contrails.  Furthermore, it might be prudent to have at least rudimentary knowledge of the stars, there are, for instance, two configurations to the north that look sort of like sauce pans, and near that is one that looks like a W, and this time of year there's this prominent grouping of three stars with some bright ones above and below in the south most of the night.

It's probably more fun to engage in speculation.  But don't get carried away.  There are some fairly large logistics drones with tilt-rotor capabilities that the military have been improving on for years.  Now, it might be that our military types are testing some capabilities.  "So, one possibility is that the U.S. Naval Air Warfare Center is testing advanced drones from PteroDynamics or some other contractor(s) and perhaps want to see if other U.S. military facilities can detect them and how quickly."  Why you do that over New Jersey when you have the likes of Nellis and Area 51 and Roswell with a lot of open space doesn't make much sense.  It might be that some other military is testing some capabilities.  After that Chinese balloon episode, maybe we don't want to believe our government.

And star charts are still valuable.  "Some cases are mundane phenomenon being mistaken for something abnormal; apparently Larry Hogan’s video features two stars from the Orion constellation." Larry Hogan is an elected official.  Sure, if Betelgeuse is in an active cycle and the upper atmosphere is busy, you might think there's something moving up there, but if it's bright and orange and there's that line of three stars nearby, R-E-L-A-X.
