There have been multiple reports throughout Morris and Somerset County of large drones overhead, nobody knows anything about it. They have been reported by most all towns within Morris County. NorthStar tracked up north of Poughkeepsie and a black hawk was south of Mendham. I don’t know if related to ROCCO.

Totally OFF TOPIC but need to send a special congratulations to one of our members, @PenguinSix. Congratulations on being named one of the nations top YouTube influencers when Pew conducted a nationally representative survey of U.S. adults, they examined a sample of 500 “news influencers” across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, and YouTube, and analyzed more than 100,000 posts in summer 2024..

Two-thirds of news influencers are men — and most have never worked for a news organization

A new Pew Research Center report also found nearly 40% of U.S. adults under 30 regularly get news from news influencers.
