Reviewing all the available information on these drone sightings, there are several things we can conclude:

The Drones are imitating or mimicking the lights of regular aircraft until they are chased by aircraft, then they turn off their lights and leave the area.

These UFOs are a variety of sizes from around 5 feet in diameter to the size of a bus. But most sightings report that they are the size of a car or SUV.

Some reports say the observers could hear motors and fans.

However, when they are chased they seem to remove themselves from the area at high speeds that may be faster than an average drone

It is assumed that these drones are not piloted by a person, but are being controlled remotely from another unknown location

I have not heard of any of the drones landing on the ground, however there was a rumor/report of one that crashed, but this was never verified. It could have been covered up.

A Congressman has revealed that inside gov. sources have said that Iran worked with China to use a Chinese ship to launch these drones a few miles off the East coast from the Atlantic ocean. All Iranian ships are accounted for, so the idea that the report is false because Iranian ships are accounted for is irrelevant. But this shows the kind of negatively US citizens have to deal with on UFO reports from the gov. and mainstream media. It's as if the US gov. is trying to purposely hide the truth about these drones.

The drones appear to be observing specific areas in the US, and the reports are widespread all across the US, and it not only being reported in the New Jersey area. In addition to that, there are numerous sightings of the same type drones all over the world at this time.

The observation areas also include a variety of military bases, power plants, Federal offices and US infrastructure.

These quite large drones are expensive and require not only maintenance, but high tech equipment and human controllers to operate them.

The drones seem to only come out at night and will hover at times in one area for many hours. This means they are customized to have larger amounts of fuel or batteries to make that possible. The average drone can only maintain flight for about 45 minutes.

Sometimes the drones will work together in unison in an area and fly around in looping patterns.

This kind of technology and cost rules out hobbyist drone owners.

For the most part the drones appear to be operated by human beings. However, if they were alien technology and operated by aliens, these sightings are being created to "look like" an earth bound aircraft. But, in my opinion this scenario is unlikely.

Since the US and Russia have been in a proxy conflict over Ukraine, it is highly unlikely that Russia would bother with these kinds of observations. It may incite the conflict more and would give little advantage to the Russians.

It is unlikely that the North Koreans could afford this kind of operation and would bring them little advantage.
However, the Chinese have already proven they have sent large balloons over Alaska and the mainland US, and have been photographing military bases and nuclear missile locations.

Iran has the motivation to spy on the US with drones, but the lengthy spying would seem to give them little advantage. It is however possible that Iran would collaborate with the Chinese to monitor the US for a variety of reasons, but it would have to be financed exclusively by the Chinese.

There are several major factors that point to communist Chinese involvement. They have done this many times before.
They have the technology and the finances to operate this type of spy activity.

They are wondering that with Trump becoming president they will lose much of the free trade they enjoyed, so they are feeling that a confrontation is inevitable with the US.
There long term goals for the US is to conquer the US with out firing a shot or dropping nuclear bombs. They want the farms intact to produce food for their people in the future.

If a major war breaks out it is highly possible a high altitude nuclear EMP blast would be used by Russia or China. This would knock out communications, electric plants and disable most vehicles.
The focus would then be on military bases and and enemy would find a way to neutralize any military intervention or defense of the mainland. Another prime motivation would be to monitor missile launch sites.

The continuous use of the drones night after night appears to be a test of our responses and a spying activity to gather information. It is obvious they are not trying to hide their activity at all, and only turn off their lights when chased.

It must also be realized how large and expensive this operation costs. It is in the $ hundreds of millions. It is highly possible it will come to a sudden halt when the risk out weighs the advantages.

In my opinion the federal government knows exactly what is going on, but doesn't want to panic the people on where it will lead later on in mainland America. As we well know, the US government hides the truth from the public for a variety of reasons when it comes to UFOs, this is no different.

Because of the constant push against rogue nations like the BRICS, China knows their days are numbered on being able to sell their slave labor produced products and also the pirated movies and music CDs, etc.
Once the US places tariffs on Chinese products that will immediately end the gravy train China has had for enormous profits.

Another issue that is not widely known is the fact that China already imposes major amounts of tariffs on US goods to protect their markets. To solve this issue, both countries should drop all tariffs on all goods, but China refuses to do that.

This is why Trump felt it was imperative to protect the US market and force China to play on a level playing field. In China's view, this is an act of war. And since that is on the horizon, this may be a motivation for them to spy on the US mainland and prepare for an unconventional war in the near future.

With the bad blood between the US and Iran, it is highly possible that Iran has a motivation to join forces with China and carry out this spying activity.

It is also obvious that this current spy activity is not a threat to the US public, or else some kind of attacks like germ warfare, chemical warfare or nukes could have already been utilized against an unsuspecting populace. As it stands now the drones are simply a nuisance to deal with.

However, the fact that local, state and federal departments haven't dealt with this already is quite disturbing. Any aircraft that flies in US airspace must be considered a threat. It's like the US government hasn't learned a thing from the 911 event.

The truth is, these drones should be intercepted and brought down by any means necessary. The fact that this has not already happened is the height of dereliction of duty. I am shocked that some hunters with high powered rifles haven't targeted these drones.

What needs to happen is full disclosure on what the drones are doing and why this is happening. The US public deserves to know the truth and to prepare for the consequences of these actions against the US. This is a clear and present danger to the homeland, and the fact that nothing has been done is inexcusable.

These drones come from somewhere, and the government has satellites watching everything in the Atlantic ocean. In my view the gov. has already studied what is going on and they are hiding the results of their research to not panic the public.

I regret to say this, but under this illegal coup gov. they may be hiding the truth for a specific reason. They understand what the agenda is by China and possibly Iran, and they are INVITING a future attack for ulterior motives.

The bottom line is, this wealthy elite globalist controlled nation WANTS an attack on the US mainland so they can exploit the attack to take away more constitutional rights and subjugate the people even further. This makes this fraudulent government complicit in what is going on. George Eaton
