While I am on a rant.
Can’t remember exactly what it was about but Rishi got mad about something and actually defied people to stand against him. He was quite angry.
I remember thinking, wow , would not like to meet him in a dark alley when he is mad.
Gained a bit more respect from me.
Even at my advanced age I would still back myself in a fist fight against either your outgoing president or your incoming president. Which is something I can never before have thought.
Anonymous US Coastguardsman says he doesn’t care what White House spokesman John Kirby or DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas say about drones & added, “they’re full of shit.”
So we get a video of contrails left by a jet airplane and something too far off to be identified with running lights over the TREES and this translates into 12 to 30 drones following a USCG patrol boat offshore 
Social contagion doesn’t even come close, mass experiment with LSD maybe?
Also:
Can people in the CG count? Was it 12 or 30?
There is nothing illegal about following boats around with drones.
Why would someone send 12 to 30 when one would do?
I am about 99% sure this is yet another airplane, constellation, weird light reflection, or anything else but some dude with enough money to buy 30 long range drones and nothing better to do with them then send them ALL to follow some CG boat.
So this Coastie is self-described as “terrible with measurements”, can’t tell if something 100-200 ft in the air, at night, is a certain number of objects or more than twice that many objects, but can tell each one is 7ft across (which, times 30 drones would be massive), and though he is technically a mariner and on a boat at the time, he refers to running lights as “the festive green, red, and white lights”…oh and he somehow knows that this amorphous fleet are for sure “government drones”, whatever that means. Sounds like a real reliable source. /s
DHS, FBI, FAA & DoD Joint Statement on Ongoing Response to Reported Drone Sightings
Release Date: December 16, 2024
There are more than one million drones lawfully registered with the FAA in the United States and there are thousands of commercial, hobbyist and law enforcement drones lawfully in the sky on any given day. With the technology landscape evolving, we expect that number to increase over time.
FBI has received tips of more than 5,000 reported drone sightings in the last few weeks with approximately 100 leads generated, and the federal government is supporting state and local officials in investigating these reports. Consistent with each of our unique missions and authorities, we are quickly working to prioritize and follow these leads. We have sent advanced detection technology to the region. And we have sent trained visual observers.
Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and stars mistakenly reported as drones. We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey or other states in the northeast.
That said, we recognize the concern among many communities. We continue to support state and local authorities with advanced detection technology and support of law enforcement. We urge Congress to enact counter-UAS legislation when it reconvenes that would extend and expand existing counter-drone authorities to identify and mitigate any threat that may emerge.
Additionally, there have been a limited number of visual sightings of drones over military facilities in New Jersey and elsewhere, including within restricted air space. Such sightings near or over DoD installations are not new. DoD takes unauthorized access over its airspace seriously and coordinates closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement authorities, as appropriate. Local commanders are actively engaged to ensure there are appropriate detection and mitigation measures in place.
Seems like a carefully worded statement, Doesn’t say there’s nothing anomalous, just that nothing anomalous has been found.
You cannot prove a negative.
I got my latest drone and registered it with the FAA the other day and programmed the transponder with my unique ID. I check the live map before flying to make sure no restricted area has popped up since I last checked.
I could have just done none of that and flown it, so there will always be some idiot that either by stupidity or design is flying where he should not be with no ID on the drone transponder to see who owns it.
This <> alien attack or the dreaded Chinese infiltration by secret drone agents smart enough to go undercover in the USA but dumb enough to leave the running lights on.
Looks like drones are now everywhere.

A Norwegian ship with a Russian crew was a few kilometers from Copenhagen Airport during the drone attack. Danwatch can now reveal that the ship’s owners have previously collaborated with a major Russian paramilitary organization for years.

When Copenhagen Airport was shut down by two to three large drones on Monday evening, the Norwegian cargo ship Oslo Carrier 3 was a short distance away.
The ship is owned by the company Bulkship Management, which is part of a larger, international Norwegian company called Oslo Bulk. This is stated on the company’s website.
What is not stated is that they also have a branch in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Until 2022, the Russian branch also had its own website, but after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Russian website was first turned into a site and then closed down completely.
However, at least one key person from the Russian branch in Kaliningrad is still part of the now on the surface purely Norwegian company.
9. Sep '25
The director of Bulkship Management in Kaliningrad is a Russian citizen who continues to live in Kaliningrad and has been part of the company for 19 years. Although the Russian website no longer exists, his email address appears on Bulkship’s Norwegian website, where he is described as responsible for recruitment. His name is not mentioned anywhere on the website, but Danwatch is aware of his identity.
The Russian CEO’s LinkedIn profile also shows a direct relationship with the owner of Russia’s oldest paramilitary group, RSB Group. The owner is personally sanctioned by the United States for being close to the Russian intelligence service FSB, and Danwatch’s research shows that the owner himself has also previously worked for the FSB.
On LinkedIn, in 2015, RSB Group’s owner wrote very warmly about Bulkship Management and the Russian CEO, with whom he had worked for at least three years. He had big words for the Norwegian company’s Russian boss:
The RSB employs highly qualified Russian Special Forces soldiers, including veterans of
the Russian intelligence service
U.S. Treasury Department
“He manages a large fleet. His vessels sail the world’s oceans. If you need professional help, seek his help; He never makes mistakes! He is a unique individual,” it reads.
Danwatch has contacted Bulkship Management’s CEO and CFO and asked about the relationship, but they have not returned our inquiry.
We have also asked them about Oslo Carrier 3’s activities over the past year, where the ship has been in the vicinity of no less than three suspicious and hybrid incidents.
First, the possible sabotage of the cargo ship Ursa Major in December 2024. Then a drone incident in Køge Bay in January 2025 according to Berlingske, and now the hybrid attack at Copenhagen Airport.
RSB Group is sanctioned in the US, EU and UK. According to the Americans, the group has close ties to Russia’s intelligence service, the FSB:
“RSB-Group is a private military company with close ties to Russian intelligence services. The RSB employs highly qualified Russian special forces soldiers, including veterans of the Russian intelligence service. RSB has provided global services to Russian companies in close cooperation with the FSB,” the US authorities assessed back in 2022.
Images shared by RSB Group show several uniformed individuals with the paramilitary group’s emblem on their shoulders, who are armed on board at least one of Oslo Bulk’s ships.

The pictures are from a collaboration in the period around 2014, but what role RSB Group plays is unknown.
In an interview from 2018, the CEO of RSB Group emphasizes the close ties to the Russian state. Asked directly whether paramilitary groups like his should be considered “a tool to protect Russia’s national interests and a complement to Russia’s military,” he replies:
“Yes. Absolutely. A private military company is a surgical instrument that must be used precisely and accurately.”
When it comes to the paramilitary groups in Russia, the RSB Group is the oldest of them all. It was founded over 20 years ago and over the years has grown closer and closer to the Kremlin.
Karen Philippa Larsen from the Danish Institute for International Studies has written a PhD on Russia’s paramilitary groups, and she explains how they don’t do anything anymore without the Kremlin knowing what is going on.
During the war in Ukraine, several paramilitary groups, so-called PMCs, have been deployed together with the Russian army, but this has also meant that Russia’s government has gained much more direct power over the groups, she explains.
“You don’t operate as a Russian private military without the state being aware of it. And not without a certain form of coordination with the state security apparatuses,” she says.

The Russian connections make Oslo Carrier 3 appear to be a very suspicious ship, according to Commander and Defense Analyst Jens Wenzel Kristoffersen. He compares the ship to the Russian shadow fleet, which is known to be shrouded in mystery and false information.
“It shows that we are now seeing a shift in the use of the types of shipping companies and flag states that they (Russia, ed.) have started to use. In the past, the shadow fleet has primarily carried ‘flags of convenience’, but now we see that more house-clean flag states are used to hide behind,” he says.
If it is true that the ship has been systematically involved in these events, as you say, then I definitely think that it should be investigated. It’s a red flag

He therefore does not believe that it can be ruled out that RSB Group may be behind the drone attack in Copenhagen. But there is still a lack of a “smoking gun”, he says.
Regardless, it is “sensational” that Oslo Bulk and RSB Group are connected to each other, according to Karen Philippa Larsen. Especially in light of the fact that Oslo Carrier 3 was present at both the explosion of Ursa Major, the drone incident in Køge Bay and the drone attack in Copenhagen.
“It is definitely something that the authorities must investigate further. If it is true that the ship has been systematically involved in these events, as you say, then I definitely think that it should be investigated. It’s a red flag,” she says.
If RSB Group has been involved, is it a “capable player”?
“RSB has a long history of performing security tasks for Russian companies globally. They operate in close symbiosis with the security service, so they can probably get the equipment they need. So I would say that it is a pretty capable player”.
A few days before the drone incident in Copenhagen, Oslo Carrier 3 was inspected by the German authorities.
According to Danwatch’s information, Oslo Carrier 3 sailed into Nordenham in northwestern Germany, where authorities boarded on September 17 and met 11 Russians on the ship out of a crew of a total of 13 sailors.
The authorities did a light inspection and did not look for any kind of drone equipment.
nt, the company has also denied being involved in the drone incident in Copenhagen.
These are the only two press releases on their website.
At the time of writing, Bulkship Management’s contact information page is down.
The ship Oslo Carrier 3 is currently in port in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and according to Bulkship Management’s press release, it has been inspected by the Lithuanian authorities. Nothing suspicious was found, the company writes.
NRK report on the incident:
One of several private companies that offered arme guard to ship passing through Gulf of Aden or the Red Sea at the time.
