Description

I took the family on a drone recon mission through NJ tonight. From PA we went from New Hope, through Hunterdon County and ended up at Trump’s golf course in Bedminster. Saw some interesting things along the way, nothing that screamed drone though. My wife had an impulse to check out Round Valley Reservoir and I was like, yes, yes we should do that. Gut feelings.

We saw an unusual looking object lit up and hovering. I assumed helicopter (and still do) but we all got strange vibes. My wife reported ringing in her ear.

We drove closer to it and pulled over. The (likely) helicopter was shining two spotlights. It honestly looked to all of us like two vehicles were in close proximity, but this is probably because of the dual spotlights. We took some pictures and video. Then I got back in the car and tried to drive up the mountain.

The scene was electric. People pulled over haphazardly, heavy police presence. Clearly something going on.

After some twists and turns and heavy tree cover we ended up seeing a vehicle—probably the same on as before, possibly a different one entirely. Once roughly underneath the vehicle it took off in roughly the direction we just came from.

When I got home I saw that my friend had texted me an X post about a downed drone in Lebanon. I checked a map—sure enough, that’s right where we were.

The videos attached depict our first stop off and then my wife filming it taking off in the other direction. I’m sharing these in the event that they will somehow be useful. I will attempt to share additional photos and metadata in the event that these are also useful.
