Mysterious lights line up in Staten Island sky

New York’s Staten Island. Are the drones there, or are there only stars?

Disembodied voices ask pointed questions about the aerial phenomenon as the camera focuses on a series of lights in the pitch-black sky that create a brilliant, vertical, straight line.

Instagram user @gabbyyy973 posted the video to Advance/SILive.com after capturing the strange scene in Oakwood on Wednesday night.

What the f—? Before other disembodied voices start to overlap with their own perplexity, one asks.

In a time when mystery drone sightings have occurred on Staten Island nights, it seems that yet another variety of flying objects have come to the skies.

Others questioned the phenomenon’s origin by sharing images and videos of the line of enigmatic lights on the Ring video app.

Numerous commenters claimed that it was the launch of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites, however the problem with that is that there were no scheduled Starlink launches on January 1, 2025, according to the SpaceX website.

Actually, on New Year’s Eve, the Kennedy Space Center in Central Florida launched the final Starlink satellite mission.

It might, however, have been Starlink satellites already in the air. Around 6:20 p.m. on the first of the year, there was a four-minute period of average, low visibility, according to the FindStarlink website.

For those who are not familiar with the technology, Elon Musk owns Starlink, the first and largest constellation of satellites in the world that uses a low Earth orbit to provide broadband internet that can enable video chats, streaming, online gaming, and more. According to the website, Starlink provides high-speed, low-latency internet to customers worldwide by utilizing cutting-edge satellites and user devices in conjunction with our extensive knowledge of spacecraft and on-orbit operations.

The emergence of this new dubious phenomenon coincides with a surge in drone activity that has sparked international attention and calls for intervention.

Drones sweep American bases in England

Two high-level, confidential security meetings have been convened by British government officials in response to unexplained drone activity over US air bases in England.

As a result, Borough President Vito Fossella has criticized American officials for their lack of openness over drone operations in the US.

Why do we wait? In a prepared statement, the borough president recently stated.

After mysterious drones buzzed American air bases in England, top U.K. authorities conducted two secret sessions of the Civil Contingencies Committee, according to the Times of London.

According to the Times, the drones’ advanced technology made it impossible for police to track them or identify the perpetrators, raising concerns.

Although military officials have voiced concern that it has been hard to identify the pilots in charge of operating the drones thus far, they have not ruled out the possibility of a hostile state being involved.

It was claimed that live controllers controlled the drones in real time rather than programming them.

Residents on Staten Island have been terrified of the drones and their intentions for weeks. It is crucial to remember that drones are illegal to shoot down in the US.
