On Friday the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) released an event report (Event Number: 57455) regarding a radioactive source being lost in transit in Newfield, New Jersey on December 2.
The radioactive source, licensed to Nazha Cancer Center, was sent to be disposed of. The shipping container it was in arrived damaged and it no longer contained the radioactive source.
The NRC report quoted a New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) email.
“The licensee reported to NJDEP on December 3, 2024, that a Ge-68 pin source that they sent for disposal has been lost in transit on December 2, 2024. The source is a Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-0132, with current approximate activity of 0.267 mCi. The shipping container arrived at its destination damaged and empty. The licensee has filed a claim with the shipper. If the source is not located within the 30 days, the licensee will follow-up with a full written report to include root cause(s) and corrective actions,” the NJDEP email said, according to the NRC report Friday.
BREAKING🚨: While looking at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Alerts. I can confirm that there is Radio active Material that has gone missing on Dec 2nd, 2024 out of New Jersey.

This might be the reason for the drones..just speculation at this point.

“This might be the reason for the drones..just speculation at this point,” political commentator Officer Lew said in a social media post Monday.
The source itself is said to be less than a category three level of radioactive material.
“Sources that are ‘Less than IAEA Category 3 sources,’ are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly – although it is unlikely – temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks,” the NRC report said Friday.
Missing sources can theoretically be used by terrorists to make dirty bombs – conventional explosives with radioactive material around them. When detonated they create a radioactive fallout effect.
Infowars reported in October that drone phenomenon, like is now being witnessed, could be related to a national security threat.
Interestingly, soon after the source was reported missing, mysterious drones began to comb the country, particularly the New Jersey area.
“John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a manufacturer of manned drones, gives his assessment of all the mysterious drones plaguing New Jersey and other places in America right now,” social media influencer Mila Joy said in a post on Saturday.

Interestingly, stars release a subatomic particle called a muon. Muons penetrate the entire earth easily but not really dense materials (like radioactive metals). Flying at night may be done to position the sun on the opposite side of the earth in order to see where muons don’t appear or get deflected (where a radioactive source is).
Stanford University released a paper in 2021 discussing muon analysis for nuclear source detection in the Fukushima reactor.
