The One About the New Jersey Drone Mystery Being “Solved”
October 20th, 2025The aircraft in the New York Post article below looks a lot like the Black Fly, a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft made by Pivotal:
The flight time of that aircraft is about 20 minutes.
Reports from 2024 indicated that the mystery drones would be operating for, “Six to seven hours per night.”
Additionally, this account does not sound like aircraft with flight times limited to 20 minutes:
More than a dozen drones followed a 47-foot Coast Guard boat Sunday night, while law enforcement tracked another 50 drones coming onto land from the ocean at Island Beach State Park, Rep. Chris Smith said.
Meanwhile, an FBI assistant director admitted that the agency doesn’t know who is behind the unidentified drones that are flying over New Jersey.
Authorities did confirm that the drones are not coming from local military bases.
So…
It doesn’t seem likely, at least not to me, that the Pivotal aircraft are what were observed.

A private company at a high-powered Army conference demonstrated a unique aircraft at the event — and allegedly took responsibility for setting off last year’s drone and “UFO” pandemonium in New Jersey, a source told The Post.
At the Army’s UAS and Launched Effects Summit at Fort Rucker in August, a private contractor conducted a live demonstration of a manned aerial craft that wowed the crowd with its unconventional appearance and unorthodox flight-movements, an attendee told The Post.
“You remember that big UFO scare in New Jersey last year? Well, that was us,” an employee of the unnamed contractor claimed to a small group after the demonstration, according to the source who was invited to the summit.
