Mayor Orders the Use of Hazmat Suits Around Downed Drones
In New Jersey, reports have emerged of large drones hovering over several counties, prompting Mayor Michael Melham of belleville to take precautionary measures. He instructed first responders to don HAZMAT suits and contact the bomb squad if a drone were to crash. Melham discussed these directives during an appearance on Fox News, mentioning the guidance received from the Office of Emergency Management and highlighting the alarming nature of the situation. Many residents are unsettled by the unexplained presence of these drones, which have been described as SUV-sized and flying over critical infrastructure without clear identification or purpose.
Despite the concerns, officials claim there is no credible threat, leading to confusion and frustration among the public and local leaders. Melham expressed doubts about the government’s narrative, suggesting that the drones might be government-operated assets for surveillance or other purposes. Residents are being cautioned not to engage with the drones, yet there is widespread confusion and a call for transparency regarding their origin and intent.
Mayor Michael Melham ordered first responders to wear HAZMAT suits and to call the bomb squad should one of the mysterious drones drop from the New Jersey sky.
Since the week before Thanksgiving, residents across several New Jersey counties have reported sightings of mysterious large drones hovering in the night, according to the Bergen Record.
Mayor Melham, of Belleville, New Jersey, d his instructions during a segment of Fox News’ “The Faulkner Focus” on Friday.
Melham said the Office of Emergency Management had briefed him just prior to his interview with Harris Faulkner.
“We now have guidance coming from the state, and the guidance does say two different things,” Melham said. “First of all, if there is a downed drone in our vicinity, we are immediately to call the bomb squad of our county.”
“And second, our fire department has been instructed to make sure they wear hazmat suits,” he said.

Faulkner asked Melham if a fallen drone would be treated as an attack on the homeland.
“That is correct, because they’re not quite sure if there’s a payload or not, and that’s what we were told during our briefing on Wednesday,” Melham said, referring to an “unprecedented briefing” that 200 state mayors attended earlier that week.
How are dozens of SUV-sized drones flying over New Jersey on a nightly basis and nobody in our government knows where they’re coming from or what they’re doing?
FBI, Congress, local officials – all baffled.
And no one is even talking about it?

Melham, who has seen the drones himself, discussed several other issues with Faulkner, including the federal government’s lack of response to the aerial threat.
“We’re being told that people in New Jersey must be crazy, that they’re only seeing small aircraft, and that’s just not the case,” Melham said. “If you’re on the ground in New Jersey, my residents are concerned, and they’re quite alarmed because they have no idea what’s hovering over their houses.”
I’ve never seen a more full of shit press conference.. The American public and especially the people of New Jersey deserve answers on what’s operating above their homes without identification and w/ impunity. Stop gaslighting us and tell the truth…#drones #UAPs #Ufox pic.twitter.com/PWRjlM2Ite

Melham said that he was advised at the Wednesday briefing to instruct residents not to shoot down the drones.
“These drones are hovering over our critical infrastructure. Now, that’s interesting because they’re not doing any harm, they’re just hovering over them. We’re also told that there’s no credible threat.
“When you start putting things together that they’re telling us: Critical infrastructure, no credible threat, they’re unwilling to shoot them down, they’re unwilling to do a temporary ban — and we can see them, that they have lights on them, so, something’s not adding up here.
“And, it sounds like it might very well be our highest level of government. It might be government assets that are being deployed as a counter measure,” Melham said.
