In recent weeks, numerous reports have emerged of mysterious drones flying over New Jersey and other parts of the northeastern United States. These sightings have raised public concern and prompted various theories about their origin and purpose.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly claimed that the U.S. government is responsible for these drones. She stated, without providing specific evidence, that the government is “in control of the drones” and is withholding the truth from the American people.
Federal agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and the Federal Aviation Administration, have addressed these concerns. They released a joint statement indicating that the sightings likely involve a mix of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, and other aerial activities. They emphasized that they have not identified any anomalous activity and do not assess the current drone operations as posing a national security or public safety risk.
Despite these official statements, some lawmakers and members of the public remain skeptical. Representative Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey suggested that the drones might be launched from a foreign “mothership” off the East Coast, though he did not provide concrete evidence to support this claim.
President-elect Donald Trump has also commented on the situation, calling for the drones to be shot down if the government does not disclose their origins. He expressed suspicion about the lack of transparency and urged immediate action.
As of now, investigations are ongoing to determine the exact origins and purposes of these drones. Federal authorities continue to monitor the situation and have urged the public not to take matters into their own hands, such as attempting to shoot down the drones, due to safety concerns.
