8. Reader comments include:

• "Not sure why it's such a mystery. The feds can know pretty easily everything about the drones (and they most likely do know). The silence is what's puzzling."
• "More like China spies getting intel on our fuel depots."
• "NJ Gov. Murphy says don’t worry. It’s nothing. But he doesn’t know what they are."
• "If they know that the drones "pose no threat" then answer who owns them and what they are doing. If they don't know then they should shoot them down and collect them. Maybe they should use the manpower used to track the assassin that killed the CEO of Untied Health Care. This seems like a security risk. Get your best people on this right away."
• "Where is our 4 trillion dollar air force to shoot these things down? Air Force and Pentagon are quiet because they know who's flying these things. Second all drones give off unique digital squawk to identify them. Its like an ip address."
• "These drones could be identified with a good, clear night vision photograph. Drones of this size are probably US military, and it would take several well-trained operators to control them...also likely US military. Their mission...anyone's guess."
