    Drones over New Jersey

    They keep talking about drones the size of an suv but I have yet to see a verified picture or video. The one I saw was the Leonardo experimental aircraft. Also when they say in these reports that they can't be airplanes because they don't show up on Flight Radar 24, that's just wrong. Some...

    Thank you for the update. It's been a rough handful of years especially Christmas. Hopefully this year is much better for them.

    I think we've seen this play out before. Yeah I'm a product of 60's and 70's TV 🤣

    Drones over New Jersey

    With all due respect to you my friend, this video sounds like a lot of conspiracy nonsense. Drone detection equipment deployed in NJ has effectively found nothing thus far. But probably won't hear that from either of these guys because it doesn't fuel their business model. I'm still open to...

    Drones over New Jersey

    Yup that last sentence is spot on. Last thing we want to do is indiscriminately shoot unknown objects out of the sky. If someone is visiting here from another galaxy the safe bet is they probably have technology vastly superior to ours... best to try and be friendly or we might be vaporized...

    Many of the videos looping on the internet, news etc are nonsense--- Airliners, military transport, consumer drones. Consumer Quadcopter Proven military training exercise Published military testing schedule C17 Landing Leonardo prototype aircraft Southwest airliner

    Drones over New Jersey

    I don't disagree there is a history of many unexplained objects in the sky, and sometimes drones interfering in the airspace. But the recent stuff hitting the news is 99% complete nonsense. Yes there are lots of drones but no nefarious actor is displaying proper aircraft nav lights. This guy...

    Drones over New Jersey

    I'm pretty sure the Iranian ghost ship has been proven to be nonsense. We track Iran's drone ships w/satellite ALL THE TIME. They aren't off the coast of NJ. But I get it, in absence of definitive information the conspiracist like to fill in the blanks.

    Drones over New Jersey

    I still say lots of what people see are planes and starlink. The human eye at night is horrible at identifying distance, speed and altitude of objects. If they really think it's 200ft and silent overhead then my bet is it's way more than 200ft. Easy to validate with a golf or hunting...

    Just fine but it seems to use a bit more battery in the cold. I used 35% battery for 17.5 miles and 600 ft ascent. Ran the motor in low Eco for 56% of the ride and trail mode for 44%. I do remove the battery and keep it inside as well as charge it inside. Removal and reinstall is simple and...

    Drones over New Jersey

    I agree Juan Brown, Blancolirio, is an excellent source of aviation news. Also Ryan Mcbeth also covered this - - he's former military, IT security and works for a drone company. As for the comment you read from someone in Blancolirios I'm always skeptical about comment reliability, but this...

    Drones over New Jersey

    If these are foreign government drones or some group with nefarious intentions then why the heck would they have proper identification lights on the drones? I'd think they'd rather be dark. Secondly, some of the amateur videos I've seen are clearly aircraft, some in the flight levels, which of...

    It's Time to Ski New York

    The town is definitely charming and she'll like it. Even if not into the night scene there's plenty of places to grab a drink and dinner. Small gift shops a couple good ski shops. Great village to walk around. It's a real ski town. The lodges at the mountain are large and have comfortable areas...

    It's Time to Ski New York

    Harv, when you do Holiday Valley and Holimont just remember Holimont is open to the public only weekdays that aren't holidays. If you like Apres Ski night scene and live music then plan to be in Ellicottville on a Friday or Saturday night. Absolutely one of the best ski towns. Sounds like a...

    Holiday Valley 12.08.24

    I like your optimistic view here. Let's hope for a great winter! Holiday Valley is a special place and glad you liked it. Aside from being spread out with excellent lifts which disperses any crowds nicely they also have great snowmaking. Also their lodges are nice, well maintained and roomy...
