Mysterious New Jersey drones appear to avoid detection by traditional methods

I saw in movies how they shoot a tracking device from some gun or rifle. Was that sci-fi? Are modern technologies not advanced enough to do something like that? Can we slingshot a chewed up bubblegum and an Apple's AirTag at it?

I don't know about that, but there are a few things they could use to make it fall out of the sky and become available for forensic examination.

The tepid response from the governments involved makes me suspect that they know perfectly well where these are coming from and have some reason why they don't want to say that.

Yeah, I want to believe.

Apparently the military just wants Americans to enjoy the light show and take cover if anything toxic or lethal drops from these drones.

boy the press really wants to make this a thing that gets people all worked up
