The hosts speculate on the mysterious drone sightings reported across New Jersey, from UFO theories to potential government or private testing, all while keeping things lighthearted and humorous.

Get a glimpse of the recent drone displays, including SpaceX’s 12 Days of Christmas show in Texas and a record-breaking 8,000-drone performance in Japan that wowed audiences worldwide.
