A recent spike in reported drone sightings in New Jersey raised public alarm and necessitated intervention from the FAA and governmental agencies. The White House clarified these were primarily authorized drones for research and hobbyist use, causing suspicion among the public. Research highlighted by Mick West suggests that many sightings were misidentified aircraft or ambiguous lights, showing how psychological processes can lead to mass misinterpretation of ordinary events.
"The increase in drone sightings in New Jersey can be largely attributed to eyewitness errors, exacerbated by psychological factors that led to misinterpretation of visuals."
"Mick West pointed out that many of the so-called drones were actually ambiguous lights or aircraft, with no evidence of actual drones being present at the time."
