US President-elect Donald Trump has asked the administration to tell the public about the mysterious drones that were spotted in New Jersey or shoot them down.
The unusual thing seen in the skies of New Jersey and around the country has become the town's new buzz, and now the President-elect has also commented on it.
Taking his Truth Social account, Trump said, "Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government’s knowledge. I don’t think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT"
Since November 18, the sightings began with nightly observations continuing until about 11 p.m. Reports vary from four to 180 sightings per night. According to state Rep. Dawn Fantasia, the objects are "six feet in diameter" and operate in coordination with lights off.
Yesterday, White House spokesperson John Kirby dismissed the case of the possibility of an Iranian "mothership" being responsible and said that the Coast Guard has confirmed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based involvement from coastal vessels.
In a presser, Kirby said, "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat or have a foreign nexus. The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating these sightings, and they’re working closely with state and local law enforcement to provide resources, using numerous detection methods to better understand their origin."
Earlier, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh stated, "There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there's no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States."
She further noted there is "no evidence" suggesting foreign adversary involvement.
While the Pentagon denies foreign involvement, the FBI has expressed concern about their limited knowledge. During a Congressional hearing on Tuesday, FBI Assistant Director Robert Wheeler acknowledged uncertainty about potential risks.
