Sure seems like a ton of UFO/UAP activity in the area. Imo the east coast New Jersey sightings look like current state of the art drone warfare systems deployed in areas where people have never seen these systems operating.
The recent sightings in Oregon and WA seem like a mix of true to form UFO sightings and drones. What's odd in the OR/WA sightings at 4min to this set of ATC convos is a mention of pilot seeing one object in TCAS
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but TCAS is a data radio system not a RADAR right?
My understanding is it works primarily using data radios which are able to send out a ping and the other aircraft(s) hear that ping and sends out a response beacon. The system then essentially does direction finding and optionally can read heading data from ADS-B or mode S data radios.

So if my understanding is right to get a TCAS reading means the UFO is actively implementing this... Imo which is what I'd expect of domestically produced high altitude military drones.
I have not heard of TCAS readings in any other sightings other than the west coast ones which leads me to suspect the US military is infact responsible for some of these or this is all an elaborate mixup of normal air traffic. But these ATC convos seem authentic and not a mistake imo.

So, quick rule of thumb: if you ever think an EM drive in atmosphere explains something you should abort that line of thought, drink some water, and have a lie down.
If this is your genuine gut feeling, the conclusion should be that this is not an area where your gut can provide reliable input, just as how the gut is frequently wrong about just how much chocolate you can eat without adverse consequences.
Seriously, the new jersey ufo panic is not how military industrial conspiracies expose themselves, sometimes a public panic just has dumb immediate causes.
