No use of drones at night unless you are sniffing the ground for something, expert’s explanation goes viral – Times of India

Among many theories, most of them conspiracy theories, about the mystery drones flying above New Jersey, an explanation offered by the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, John Ferguson, has gone viral. He explained that drones can’t see, and hence, there’s no use in deploying drones at night unless someone is looking for something—or smelling something.
“Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program with Russia and there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. I believe there were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing. We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does but nobody really knows where these are and I speak with some high-level government officials on this stuff,” he said.

Then he wet on to talk about a gentleman who was trying to raise an alarm with the highest level of the government over one particular nuclear warhead that he physically touched that was left over from Ukraine and he knew that that thing was headed for the US. “We all know that the US govt is pushing to get into a war with Russia. We all feel it. We all see it,” the expert said.
“Drones have no use at night unless you are doing some intelligence work, looking for some bad guys or looking for a victim or doing some type of military project. Drones can see stuff unless they have thermal optics. You need mapping during the day. The only reason will be if you are looking for something — a person, or a gas,” Ferguson said.
Ferguson added that it’s his personal opinion that these mystery drones are not probably nefarious in their intent and they are flying so low to smell something on the ground that’s very important.
In the latest response to the situation, Feds said the are going to deploy a high-tech drone detection system to New York. “In response to my calls for additional resources, our federal partners are deploying a state-of-the-art drone detection system to New York State,” Gov Kathy Hochul said.
“I want to assure the American public that we are on it,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
