High Levels of Radiation Detected Across the East Coast After Mysterious Drone Sightings

According to GQ Electronics' Geiger Counter World Map, high emissions levels were detected near the Bronx and the Upper West Side of New York City. The radiation reading scale measured 1048 counts-per-minute (CPM), or the number of particles detected. This exceeds the average number of particles detected by the 200 counts-per-minute safety threshold. In comparison, the average person is usually exposed to background radiation that measures about five to 60 CPM.

Author of Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America, Gordon Chang, told Forbes that the drones could be associated with the area's high radiation levels.

“There have been reports of spikes and radiation in the New York metropolitan area,” Chang said. “Two of them, one on each side of the Hudson. That leads to the conclusion that maybe they're looking for an implanted nuclear weapon.”

Chang compared the current drone fiasco to the 2023 Chinese spy balloon crisis spotted in U.S. airspace, saying that in both instances, there was an“apparent failure of the federal government— both the military and the president to protect the American people.”
