NASA Cuts Live Feed After UFO appears flying past International Space Station Dec 16, 2024, UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 17, 2024

Location of sighting: International Space Station, New Jersey, Hill AFB Utah. 

 

Guys this is really something. Two UFOs were passing the space station on live NASA cam today, then the NASA stream suddenly went to blue screen with a lost contact message. Maybe it was the alien craft which cut communications or maybe it was NASA trying to hide this info from the public, but either way, I got it for you here. These are 100% real alien ships. US gov says drones, but they are maned alien ships. 

 

Why now? Because the alien species out there want disclosure and want the public to know the truth. Why now? Because ai, it's growing exponentially every day and it may get out of control. Aliens can predict the future with a 99.99% accuracy, so they saw something...a turning point, a pivotal moment in human history where aliens were needed or could reveal themselves to the world.

UFO Recorded by Channel 7 TV News Over Mendham Borough, New Jersey, Dec 17, 2024, UAP Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 17, 2024
Location of sighting: Mendham Borough, New Jersey, USA

Hey all, check this out. A UFO was reported over New Jersey and a TV news channel went out to investigate it. They caught a glowing orb or sphere flying low, hovering in place. It's clearly not a US military drone, it's not an Iran drone, this is pure alien technology we are looking at. Great capture, much more news on the UFO front to come. So earlier when I thought they were drones, I was clearly wrong. This is the first clear video that I have seen.

Speaking from Washington on Wednesday, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh confirmed to reporters that the ongoing drone sightings are not linked to any U.S. military drone activities, while also confirming that the Pentagon currently has no evidence to suggest they are being controlled by foreign actors.

“At this time, we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity, or are the work of an adversary,” Singh said yesterday, stating that the DoD was aware of no threats to U.S. military assets resulting from the drone incidents.

Earlier today, Pentagon Spokesperson Major General Pat Ryder reaffirmed that the Pentagon’s assessment that no evidence has been found linking the drones to foreign actors remains unchanged, based on ongoing exchanges with other federal agencies.

On Wednesday, United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) released a statement saying it also is monitoring the situation, and that it has conducted analysis of the incidents, although it has not been formally asked to participate with other federal agencies involved in the investigation.

“We are aware and monitoring the reports of unauthorized drone flights in the vicinity of military installations in New Jersey,” read a statement released by USNORTHCOM Directorate of Public Affairs.

“U.S. Northern Command conducted a deliberate analysis of the events, in consultation with other military organizations and interagency partners, and at this time we have not been requested to assist with these events,” the statement read, adding that USNORTHCOM will continue to assess the situation, and “is prepared to respond when asked or should the situation escalate to threaten any DoD installations.”

Earlier this month, USNORTHCOM was officially designated the Lead Synchronizer for Homeland Counter Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations in the continental U.S. and Alaska.

On Wednesday, Dawn Fantasia, a Republican member of the General Assembly for New Jersey’s 24th legislative district, attended a briefing held for New Jersey State Legislators at the headquarters of the New Jersey State Police, where she said Department of Homeland Security officials told lawmakers they still had few answers regarding the drone incursions.

“We know nothing. PERIOD,” Fantasia said in a posting on social media summarizing key takeaways from the briefing. “To state that there is no known or credible threat is incredibly misleading,” she added.

Fantasia said that the New Jersey State Police and other state authorities were “shackled” in terms of actions that could be taken, and that “Any interception or takedown of any UAS is under the strict jurisdiction of the federal government.”

“At this point, I believe military intervention is the only path forward,” Fantasia wrote, adding that the U.S. Coast Guard would “be the most likely to intervene based upon our briefing, but even that component was shrouded in mystery.”

Homeland Security officials reportedly told Fantasia that sightings have occurred nightly, with as many as 180 sightings in a single night, and most activity reported between dusk and 11 PM.

Many of the drones have been described as large, with some estimates placing them up to 6 feet in diameter and operating “in a coordinated manner.” Currently, the takeoff and landing sites of the drones remains undetermined, although they are believed to maintain prolonged flight periods of up to seven hours, with an estimated range of 15 miles, “raising questions about their technology and intent.”

Fantasia said Homeland Security officials told her some of the drones were difficult to detect for a variety of reasons, which included some operating without lighting, and others appearing to avoid detection by radio frequency emissions or infrared cameras.

DHS officials reportedly confirmed that the mystery drones were not believed to be operated by hobbyists, and that most sightings are occurring “in unrestricted airspace, but their behavior is unusual and potentially nefarious.”

“In-person Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Training starts in Monmouth County in January and will expand statewide,” Fantasia also said.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, who was not in attendance at Wednesday’s DHS briefing, called the situation “frustrating” earlier this week, although he maintains that there is no indication that the drones pose a threat to public safety.

Earlier this week, Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) claimed that he had been told the drones were being operated by Iran from an alleged mothership located off the U.S. Atlantic coast, citing unnamed sources he deemed “very reliable.”

“Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones,” Van Drew said during an appearance on Fox News on Wednesday. “It’s off the east coast of the United States of America.”

“We know it’s not our own government, because they would have let us know,” Van Drew also said. Van Drew provided no context for the claims beyond his belief that the information came “from high sources.” Presently, Van Drew remains the only official to have made such assertions about alleged Iranian involvement publicly.

Asked at yesterday’s Pentagon press briefing about Van Drew’s claims, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh maintained that the DoD has seen no clear evidence linking the drone sightings to a foreign power, and that “there is not any truth” to Van Drew’s claims.

“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,” Singh said on Wednesday.

Although the Pentagon has poured cold water on the claims involving an Iranian connection, several elected officials in New Jersey have maintained they believe the objects may be originating from somewhere off the Eastern Coast.

“They have tracked these things going out to the water,” said Michael Melham, Mayor of Belleville, New Jersey, earlier this week. “So that’s quite interesting.”

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) similarly told lawmakers at a hearing earlier this week that he had learned of a sighting by a law enforcement officer at Island Beach State Park on Sunday where dozens of drones were reportedly observed flying inland from a launch point somewhere in the ocean.

“One of those officers two nights ago saw 50 drones come in off the ocean,” Smith said on Tuesday.

Smith also said a U.S. Coast Guard official told him that one of its vessels had been followed by a group of drones.

“I think this is a very serious threat,” Smith said of the alleged incidents.

At Wednesday’s breifing in Washington, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the Department of Defense will watch the situation closely as federal and local authorities continue their investigations.

“We’re going to continue to monitor what’s happening,” Singh said.

Mystery Drones Invading New Jersey Airspace Are Keeping Officials on Edge as Feds Probe for Answers

This week, sightings of the small aircraft, which have reportedly been occurring over New Jersey now for several weeks, have extended into surrounding states, with recent observations occurring over Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Brooklyn, New York.

In New Jersey, many of the recent sightings reported by residents have occurred in Morris County, home to the U.S. Army’s Picatinny Arsenal. One of the earliest known sightings of the New Jersey mystery drones occurred there on November 13, when a security officer was reportedly one of the first to have observed the objects.

Since then, at least ten more confirmed sightings have taken place near the arsenal, and seven more potential sightings remain unconfirmed.

In a statement provided to The Debrief, a spokesperson with Picatinny Arsenal said officials there quickly began investigating and increasing outreach and coordination with multiple local, state, and federal organizations after the initial sightings several weeks ago.

“While the source and cause of these aircraft operating in our area remain unknown, we can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal-related activities,” said Lt. Col. Craig A. Bonham II, Picatinny Arsenal Garrison Commander, in a statement provided to The Debrief.

The investigation into the drone sightings is ongoing, a Picatinny Arsenal spokesperson said on Tuesday.

In its own investigations into the ongoing sightings, The Debrief has now made inquiries with multiple state and federal agencies, including public records act requests and other efforts aimed at learning what available information can reveal about the mysterious drone sightings that have plagued New Jersey residents now for many weeks.

Many of those inquires are ongoing, and The Debrief is presently awaiting further communication from federal and state officials that will be featured in our ongoing reporting on these sightings. Meanwhile, the emerging picture of the drone situation over the northeastern U.S., how it has developed in recent days, and how officials are responding, presents an intriguing picture of what has become one of 2024’s most significant stories, and a compelling mystery that currently leaves us with far more questions than answers.

Official Acknowledgement of an Ongoing Mystery

Following the initial sightings in mid-November, Morris County officials acknowledged that the mystery drones had also been observed by area law enforcement officers on the evening of Monday, November 18.

“County and local law enforcement agencies are aware of the recurring reports of drone activity around Morris and Somerset counties, and acknowledge the public’s concern about these repeated sightings,” read a portion of an advisory released by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office on December 3.

“There continues to be no known threat to public safety,” the advisory stated.

Since the sightings began in mid-November, observations of the mysterious drones have now been reported in 10 counties in New Jersey. Many sightings have reportedly occurred over infrastructure sites that include railroads and reservoirs, as well as military facilities.

“Over the weekend, nearly a dozen unmanned drones were reported in various areas of Middletown, including the airspace over Naval Weapons Station Earle,” said Tony Perry, Mayor of Middletown, New Jersey, in a letter to U.S. Senator Corey Booker on Monday. “This unauthorized activity poses significant security concerns for critical military installations and the surrounding communities.”

In a statement on social media, Perry said he had also requested briefings from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security “to address our growing questions and concerns.”

The ongoing sightings have prompted several similar concerned responses from state and local officials.

“Understandably, New Jersey residents are very alarmed at this significant and reoccurring phenomenon – and the tepid response from our state and federal agencies so far is totally unacceptable,” said Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) in a statement on Monday. “As we saw with the Chinese spy balloon last year, our fiercest adversaries will stop at nothing to surveil our homeland and threaten our national security.”

“While the source of this drone activity is still to be determined, it is clear that the communication channels and proper authorities among local law enforcement and federal partners must be drastically improved in order to work quickly through deconfliction and security challenges as unmanned aerial systems become more prevalent,” Smith added.

In a statement on Tuesday that echoed similar frustration with the situation, U.S. Senator Jon Bramnick (R-NJ) said he believed state officials “should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.”

Also on Tuesday, mayors from towns across Morris County released a letter to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, where they collectively called for increased transparency on the issue.

“These flights, occurring under the cover of darkness, have raised significant alarm among the more than 500,000 County residents and local officials alike,” the letter read.

“Despite inquiries made to relevant authorities, we have yet to receive satisfactory answers about the purpose, operators, or safety protocols governing these flights,” it added.

Speaking with the media on Tuesday, Governor Murphy responded to the concerns expressed in the letter, saying he didn’t blame residents and elected officials across his state for feeling frustrated with the situation, although he maintained that federal officials have found no evidence indicating the drone flights could pose a threat.

“We don’t see any concern for public safety,” Murphy said, adding that it was “really frustrating that we don’t have more answers to where they’re coming from, and why they’re doing what they’re doing.”

“We had, last night, 49 sightings. I think 20 of them were over Hunterdon,” Murphy said.

The Debrief reached out to officials with the Hunterdon County Sherriff’s Department about the sightings but received no response to our inquiries.

Murphy also said one of the alleged drone sightings on Monday night was later determined to have been the likely misidentification of a small aircraft, possibly a Piper J-3 Cub. Previously, The Debrief reported that several photos and videos that were being featured in television newscasts as purported imagery of the mystery drones were, in fact, misidentified conventional aircraft displaying standard position light configurations required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

On Tuesday morning, a spokesperson for the Newark Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said the agency is “doing all we can to figure out what’s going on,” although admitting that “we truly don’t have much information to provide at the moment.”

The Debrief also reached out to FBI’s Newark Field Office for a comment, but received no response.

Mystery Drones of Varying Descriptions

While there is no single consistent description of their appearance, many reports describe the drones as relatively low-flying objects that produce buzzing noises consistent with conventional unmanned aerial systems. However, the New Jersey objects are often described as appearing to be larger than the varieties of drones typically flown by hobbyists, with some descriptions likening them to the size of an automobile.

Several observers say the drones, which often travel in groups, also appear to follow consistent flight paths that regularly carry them over critical infrastructure sites and military installations.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued temporary flight restrictions over locations that include Picatinny Arsenal and Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, a favorite golfing destination of President Elect Donald Trump.

Although officials have been able to provide few details about the drone overflights, Florham Park Police Chief Joseph Orlando said last week that “their presence appears nefarious in nature.”

Among the proposed explanations for at least a portion of the recent drone sightings, some have pointed to small aircraft like the BlackFly, produced by light aircraft Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) manufacturer Pivotal, who announced in October that more than a dozen of their prototype aircraft had been sent to private owners and the U.S. Air Force.

Meanwhile, the FBI’s Newark field office has issued a public appeal for tips, requesting that anyone with relevant information about the drones to please reach out to authorities.

Drone Sightings Beyond New Jersey’s Skies

As recent sightings beyond New Jersey appear to reveal a greater geographic spread of the drone activity than previously realized, Staten Island’s borough president, Vito Fossella, said he has requested FBI and FAA briefings, calling the situation “odd and quite bizarre.”

The FAA says that drone operators found conducting unsafe or unauthorized flights could face severe penalties, including fines of up to $75,000.

Since the drone sightings over New Jersey began last month, a spate of similar incidents involving unauthorized drone incursions over U.S. military facilities at airbases in the United Kingdom occurred over a span of several days in late November.

Beginning on November 20, what officials characterized as a multi-drone incursion over RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England was followed by similar nightly sightings that expanded to nearby RAF Mildenhall, also in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk. Drone sightings were also reported over RAF Fairford.

On December 5, the DoD announced a new classified strategy for countering potential threats associated with unmanned aerial systems (UAS), largely in response to how drones and other unmanned systems are changing the warfighting and security environment.

“Unmanned systems, more commonly known as drones, have the potential to pose both an urgent and enduring threat to US personnel, facilities, and assets overseas and, increasingly, in the US homeland,” said Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder of the DoD’s new initiative during a press conference at the Pentagon last week.

“The threats presented by these systems are changing how wars are fought,” Ryder said. “With a singular strategy for countering unmanned systems, in conjunction with other major DOD initiatives like the Joint Counter Small UAS Office and Replicator 2, the DOD is orienting around a common understanding of the challenge and a comprehensive approach to addressing it.”

Asked whether the timing of the announcement had been influenced by the recent drone incidents in the U.S. and the U.K., Ryder said no, adding that the DoD’s new strategy is an outgrowth of “work that’s been going on for some time, and obviously very important work.”

On Friday, as drone sightings continued in the skies over the northeast, a classified briefing was provided to lawmakers by the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the DoD’s official investigative unit into what the U.S. now calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (objects traditionally known as UFOs).

It is unclear whether AARO officials who spoke during Friday’s classified briefing addressed the recent drone sightings occurring in the U.S. and over U.K. airbases. However, speaking last month during a Senate hearing, Dr. Jon Kosloski, who has served as Director of AARO since August, told lawmakers that while his office is not directly tasked with the investigation of drone sightings, AARO may still be able to provide resources that could federal agencies who are looking into such incidents.

“As AARO is trying to push the bounds on detectability for UAP, we’re hopefully going to have best practices that we can also provide to the counter-UAS [efforts],” Kosloski told U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) during the hearing.

In response to concerns over the recent drone sightings, on Tuesday a Joint Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence and Transportation and Maritime Security Subcommittee hearing also addressed the situation, where lawmakers discussed the DoD’s ability to detect and destroy drones that could pose security threats over stadiums and other locations where unauthorized drone flights could pose a security risk

“In recent years, the proliferation of UASs both domestically and abroad has raised serious concerns regarding their potential misuse in criminal activities, espionage, and more alarmingly, in threats to U.S. National Security,” said Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) during opening remarks at Tuesday’s hearing. The session featured participation from the US National Football League, the Justice Department, the FBI, and other agencies, in addressing potential security risks posed by unmanned aerial systems.

While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said that he has remained in contact with federal agencies regarding the ongoing drone sightings occurring over his state.

“I was on with the White House and Homeland Security leadership literally at the very top yesterday,” Murphy said. “I’m hoping we’ll get answers sooner than later.”

“I would just ask folks to continue to let the FBI or their local law enforcement know when they see something,” Murphy added.

“We’ll continue to do everything we can with our federal partners to get clear answers.”

• The Pentagon, FBI and Department of Homeland Security are investigating 
  

By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, POLITICAL REPORTER ON CAPITOL HILL, FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Democrat lawmakers are demanding answers about the mysterious New Jersey drones that federal authorities and President Joe Biden have yet to explain. 

The bizarre unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) were first noticed hovering over New Jersey over a month ago, yet neither local or federal authorities have offered an explanation behind the lights that dash across the sky from dusk to dawn - notably disappearing during daylight.  

Biden has since tasked his agencies with finding out what is occurring over the Garden State, White House spokesman John Kirby said last week on Fox News.

In the same interview Kirby, the White House National Security Communications Advisor, did not have an explanation to offer as to what was behind the UAPs, saying the president's men are still searching for answers. 

The Pentagon, FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have all been probing what is going on, and its of particular concern because these drones are flying over sensitive U.S. military instillations. 

As the unsettling sightings have racked the minds of residents living in the area with worry, the lawmakers representing these neighborhoods have been bombarded with questions.

'We're here today because it's not a bird, it's not a plane, it's a drone,' Senate Leader Chuck Schumer began a press conference over the weekend. 'And when it comes to drones, people in the New York area and all across the country have more questions than answers.'

Schumer is the highest-ranking Democrat in politics outside of the White House, and his demands that the Pentagon, DHS and FBI provide answers are the weightiest yet outside of the executive branch.

Biden has tasked his agencies with getting to the bottom of the New Jersey drone phenomenon, but so far lawmakers like Schumer and other Democrats are not satisfied with the odd lack of answers

He raised concern that there have not been appropriate answers as to what is flying over NJ

'We've seen lots of recent, recent sightings in New York, New Jersey, Long Island, Staten Island,' he continued while holding up a picture of a drone-looking device pictured in a recent sighting. 

'So it's remarkable with all these sightings over the last while, why do we have more questions than answers?'

Speaking on Sunday Schumer pushed for methods to detect the drones.  

'If the technology exists for a drone to make it up into the sky, there certainly is technology that can track the craft with precision and determine what the heck is going on.' 

He has announced an initiative to push for drone-detecting measures.  

Earlier in the weekend the New York Democrat floated the idea on X:  

'I’m pushing for answers amid these drone sightings,' he said in the post. 'I’m calling for [DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas] to deploy special drone-detection tech across NY and NJ.'

'And I’m working to pass a bill in the Senate to give local law enforcement more tools for drone detection.'

Last week, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said the agency does not know what the drones are, however she could say that DoD has 'no evidence' that the drones are 'the work of a foreign adversary.'

On Monday New Jersey Democrat Rep. Mikie Sherrill mocked this explanation on CNBC. 

She accused authorities of telling the public, 'Don't worry, they're not a threat,' while also claiming, 'We don't know what they are,' an explanation that she found mind-boggling.

'It just both can't be true,' she added. 'We need somebody in charge.'

A former helicopter pilot, Sherill suggested using U.S.-made reaper drones to surveil the devices to determine what they are - a plan similar to Schumer's. 

'So quite frankly, I think why we're here and why I'm so frustrated is that talking point of 'they're just commercial aircraft, don't worry your pretty little head,'' she said speaking to the hosts.   

'That doesn't work in New Jersey,' she lamented. 

New Jersey Democratic Senate-elect, Rep. Andy Kim, went to view the phenomena himself in-person days ago and was still left with questions after his visit despite being accompanied by local authorities. 

'Any images or video footage people get, the police urge them to submit to the FBI, but I haven’t gotten any follow up yet from the FBI on their investigation and what they’ve compiled,' he posted in a thread describing his experience. 

He was told that the UAPs could be the size of the hood of a car and they would disappear when approached by helicopter. 

'This has gone on for weeks. It’s hard to understand how with the technology we have we aren’t able to track these devices to determine origin and this makes me much more concerned about our capabilities more broadly when it comes to drone detection and counter measures,' he concluded his 13-part account. 

Alejandro Mayorkas has said a new Federal Aviation Administration rule may be behind the deluge of drone sightings across New Jersey and the East Coast 

'I’ve concluded the possible drone sightings pointed out to me were almost certainly planes,' the Democrat wrote in a follow-up. 

Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill told DailyMail.com last week about the concerning drone saga has gone on too long without sufficient answers. 

Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called it 'bulls***' that the Pentagon does not have answers despite the sightings having gone on for over a month. 

Speaker Mike Johnson received a private briefing on the matter from FBI, DoD and DHS, though he has not spoken about what they have said. 

Mayorkas said on X Sunday: 'To date, there is no known threat posed by these sightings. If a threat is identified, the federal government will address it and communicate with the American public about it.'

'There is no question that drones have been sighted. It is also true that many reported sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft. The technology we have deployed to New Jersey has confirmed this,' he continued.

East Coast residents and lawmakers are again demanding answers after another slew of drone sightings in the region, with the origins of the alleged craft still unclear.

The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have deployed infrared cameras and drone detection technology to ensure the drones flying over the New Jersey and New York area aren't harmful, according to a law enforcement source.

The agencies are also looking at social media and other photos to determine what exactly is in the photos. Most of the photos and video depict manned aircraft, according to a law enforcement source.

There have also been no reports from pilots about seeing any drones in the sky, according to the source.

Another other issue federal authorities are dealing with: over-reporting of potentially seeing drones, according to the source. In the New York-New Jersey area, where they are being spotted, there are very few restrictions.

Matthew Murello, the mayor of Washington Township, New Jersey, told "Good Morning America" on Monday he believes "something's going on," expressing concern and frustration at the lack of answers from federal authorities.

"I'm not trying to stir anything up, but we all know -- if you just turn on the television -- that drones can be used in an aggressive fashion," Murello said. "They can carry payloads. They can be used for all kinds of really aggressive-type things."

White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said Thursday that "many" of the reported drone sightings appear to be lawfully operated manned aircraft, adding there was "no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or a public safety threat, or have a foreign nexus."

But Murello said those living under the drones are not reassured.

"That's a wonderful thing to tell your residents," he said when asked about Kirby's assurances. "That's fantastic, until it's not."

"Nobody knows what these things are doing," Murello added. "Best case scenario, they're just getting video of us. Again, I don't know why out here. We're nothing but farm country. If you want videos of cows, I'll be happy to send you some."

Murello cast doubt on the official statements suggesting "no perceived threat."

"We've heard that before from our federal government -- 'We're not looking, we're not watching you, we're not watching your calls, we're not doing everything and don't worry -- we're here and we're here to help you'," he said.

Murello was among a group of New Jersey mayors who wrote to Gov. Phil Murphy asking for more information. The mayors were subsequently invited to a meeting, but Murello said the governor did not attend.

Instead, state police told the mayors they had little information on the drones. Authorities, Murello said, could not explain why some drones are being flown without emitting radio frequencies or using transponders -- both of which are required by law when a drone is used at night.

Murello said he had personally seen "a couple" of drones "around my town." He disputed Kirby's statement that many of the reported sightings were of misidentified manned aircraft.

"I have no way of telling you how big it was, but I can sure as heck can tell what they sound like," the mayor said. "And I know that they are not. What Adm. Kirby said -- which is a manned aircraft -- that just isn't right."

"I've seen multiple rotor, helicopter-type aircraft hovering above the tree line," Murello said, recalling one police official who said the drones can be up to 6 feet in diameter. The fact that most are spotted at night makes it "very difficult to kind of get an idea on them," Murello added.

Reports of drone activity forced the temporary closure of runways at New York's Stewart International Airport on Friday. The potential danger to aircraft is causing concern on the East Coast, Murello said.

"If pilots don't see these things and they're 6 foot in diameter and they hit an airplane -- that is not going to end well," he said.

Senators are also pushing federal agencies for more information. Last week, New York Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and New Jersey Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim wrote to the heads of the FBI, Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Homeland Security requesting meetings.

"We write with urgent concern regarding the unmanned aerial system activity that has affected communities across New York and New Jersey in recent days," the letter said, requesting a briefing "as soon as possible on how your agencies are working with federal and local law enforcement to identify and address the source of these incursions."

The mystery has caught the public's attention, with photos and videos of alleged sightings proliferating across social media. One FBI official told reporters Saturday that out of the nearly 5,000 tips the agency had received, less than 100 generated credible leads for further investigation.

As the search for answers continues, Murello said he sees "only two logical conclusions."

"One is somebody knows something and they're just not willing to tell us," the mayor said, suggesting potential national security sensitivities around the Morristown Airport and President-elect Donald Trump's Bedminster golf course.

"If this is an area that needs to be surveilled in the eventuality that the incoming president is going to spend a lot of time here, you know what? I'm fine with that. Just simply say it's an issue of national security," he said.

An "even scarier" explanation is that "we're the greatest nation in the world with the most technologically advanced military on the planet earth, and we don't know what the hell these things are," Murello added. "That's scary."

The DHS and FAA have both warned against attempting to shoot down a suspected drone, citing the danger of falling debris and ammunition.

It is illegal to shoot down a drone. Anyone who does so could be fined up to $250,000 and sentenced to up to 20 years in prison.

Murello said he would "definitely" not advise anyone to try to down a drone. "You also don't know if you do hit it, where it's going to come down and where are the rounds of ammunition going to land," he said.

"But I will say that, speaking with friends of mine that are current and former state troopers, we have the technology to be able to bring a drone down," Murello added, suggesting it was "absolutely silly" that law enforcement authorities are not authorized to down drones unless they are deemed a threat by the federal government.

"We don't need to bring all of them down, we need to bring one of them down," Murello continued. "We bring one down, we figure out what's going on."

Mysterious Drone & UFO Sightings Over New Jersey Baffle Experts and Residents

Reports of unexplained drone and UFO activity in New Jersey have captured widespread attention, with sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) sparking debate among residents, politicians, and experts. Since November 2024, clusters of drones and other mysterious flying objects have been seen hovering over sensitive locations, raising questions about their origin and purpose.

Unusual Drone Activity in the Garden State

The drones reported in New Jersey are no ordinary devices. Witnesses have described large, car-sized objects capable of hovering for hours and flying in coordinated patterns with their lights off, often evading detection by helicopters and radar. These sightings have occurred near critical infrastructure, including military installations like Picatinny Arsenal, water reservoirs, and even President-elect Donald Trump’s golf course in Bedminster.

Adding to the mystery, some drones reportedly exhibit transmedium travel—seamlessly moving between air and water—a capability that far surpasses current consumer or commercial drone technology. Such advanced behavior has led experts to question whether these objects are foreign surveillance tools, military experiments, or something entirely unexplained.

Official Responses and Public Reaction

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has formally called for a federal investigation, urging President Joe Biden to address the escalating concerns. Despite this, federal agencies, including the FBI and Pentagon, have yet to provide definitive answers. National Security Spokesman John Kirby has suggested that many sightings could involve lawful manned aircraft but acknowledged the absence of concrete evidence to explain all incidents.

Politicians, including Representative Jeff Van Drew and Senator Andy Kim, have expressed frustration over the lack of transparency and coordination in addressing the sightings. Van Drew even alleged the possibility of a foreign “mothership” launching drones from off the East Coast—an assertion the Pentagon has denied.

Meanwhile, local officials and residents remain unsettled. A Facebook group dedicated to tracking the sightings has amassed tens of thousands of members, sharing videos and theories ranging from advanced military technology to extraterrestrial activity.

Theories and Speculations: UFOs or Advanced Tech?

Tom DeLonge, Blink-182 guitarist and prominent UFO researcher, has contributed his own theories to the discourse. DeLonge suggests that the drones might be mimicking other aircraft, a tactic historically associated with UFOs. He also pointed out their potential for transmedium travel, a phenomenon that has been observed in other UAP incidents globally.

According to DeLonge, such behavior could be a deliberate attempt to gain attention while avoiding outright panic. Historical comparisons to mass UFO sightings from the 1960s further highlight the enduring mystery of such phenomena.

A Call for Answers

The lack of clarity surrounding the New Jersey drone sightings has left the public divided between intrigue and unease. While officials assure there is no immediate threat, the advanced capabilities of these drones—whether human-made or otherwise—demand closer scrutiny.

As investigations continue, the skies over New Jersey remain a hotspot for UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike. Whether these objects are cutting-edge technology, foreign surveillance tools, or signs of something more extraordinary, one thing is certain: the mystery of New Jersey’s drones is far from resolved.

By JOSE RAMOS

Villagers 'can't believe what they saw' after yet another sighting of a suspected drone was spotted flying close to an American air base in Britain.

MailOnline has exclusively uncovered fresh footage filmed by a resident that shows the suspected drone flying over Hockwold cum Wilton, just six miles from RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk.

The village sits between two Air Force bases, RAF Feltwell and RAF Lakenheath. 

It comes as mysterious drone activity near a US Army base in New Jersey causes a sensation in America, with the federal government proving unable to provide an explanation of what they are. Witnesses there claim the drones perfrom manuvers impossible for known technology.

Reports about American nuclear weapons being deployed to the latter for the first time since the Cold War have heightened fears that Russia could be behind the drone activity.

In America, experts have warned that the drone activity could be intelligence gathering by Iran or Russia. Philip Ingram, a former British military intelligence Colonel, said the recent drone sightings in the UK had 'all the hallmarks' of an operation by Russia's secretive GRU. 

The US Air Force admitted last month that drones had flown close to three of its UK bases – including Lakenheath, Feltwell as well as RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. 

Farmworker Ricky Fletcher, 43, was leaving work on November 29 when initially he only saw one of them flying above. 

He told us: 'I first saw them on the farm I work at, I was leaving work at 4pm on Friday evening and saw one flying way from Feltwell low to the ground, I almost thought it was a helicopter, it was so big.

Farm worker Ricky Fletcher, 43, was leaving work on November 29 when initially he only saw a drone flying above him

Mr Fletcher added: 'We couldn't believe what we were seeing'

'But it wasn't. The way the lights flashed it wasn't a plane. It was definitely a drone.'

However, soon after that, he claims the sky was filled with a dozen of them.

'All of a sudden we looked up and saw about 10 of them circling around. We were fascinated by them, they were just circling around, not really flying in the same direction.'

He added: 'We couldn't believe what we were seeing.'

'They moved in and circled around that one there was over my village in Hockwold between Lakenheath and Feltwell.'

He said he drove home, in the same village, but could still see them circling over.

'I would come out to smoke and would see them at night,' he said.

This came after footage emerged of what is suspected to be four drones, brazenly flying with bright lights, in the early evening darkness above RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk.

While two of the drones to the left of the screen in the video appear stationary, the other two are shown moving and passing each other on the night of November 28.

The bright light at the top of the screen is believed to be the planet Venus which can be seen in the south-western sky in the month of November.

The planet which is the brightest in the earth's solar system is often confused with being an aircraft or rocket.

The sightings which are said to have started on November 20 and continued for several days have followed similar drone 'invasions' in New Jersey.

Reports about American nuclear weapons being deployed to the base for the first time since the Cold War have heightened fears that Russia could be behind the drone activity

The US Air Force admitted last month that drones had buzzed three of its UK bases – RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and nearby RAF Feltwell, Norfolk

Unknown craft are reported to have circled the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal in the state which manufactures and researches weapons including arms supplied to Ukraine.

Some reports have talked of 'car-sized' drones over New Jersey since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time. They are also said to have been spotted around New York, Texas and Oklahoma.

A New Jersey police department sparked concern after it revealed that a drone it sent up to track a mystery aircraft 'easily' evaded their device before disappearing into thin air.

Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said a drone was launched after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles, 'coming off the ocean'.

The officer dialed 911 to alert state police, the FBI and the Coast Guard.The maritime agency then reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat, estimating that the devices had a wingspan of eight feet.

Matronardy told NewsNation's Rich McHugh the force put up an 'industrial grade' drone to follow one of the devices, but it quickly slipped through their grasp.

The incident is just one of many drone sightings concerning locals in the Garden State and beyond.

'If this is not our military, then it's even more scary,' McHugh said.

Intelligence analysts from both the US and UK have pointed the finger at interference by Russian despot Vladimir Putin.

The video at RAF Lakenheath was taken shortly after British authorities had announced that 60 soldiers were being sent to investigate the sightings at the three UK bases.

Two days after it was taken, an RAF Chinook apparently flew British special forces troops to join the probe at RAF Lakenheath which is home to the to the 48th Fighter Wing's F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35A Lightning II aircraft.

Flight tracker records showed the Chinook leaving RAF Odiham, Hampshire, and flying to Poole, Dorset, to apparently pick up SBS troops before heading to Hereford where the SAS are based, and then on to the US base.

Earlier this month, villagers near RAF Lakenheath described seeing the drones on repeated nights, along with an increase in security patrols by MoD police. The base stated this week that there had been no new sightings in recent days.

A retired British spymaster yesterday claimed that Kremlin intelligence services were potentially gearing up for a fresh wave of incursions into UK airspace.

Philip Ingram, a former British military intelligence Colonel, said the recent drone sightings had 'all the hallmarks' of an operation by Russia's secretive GRU spy agency.

'It's a distinct possibility if not a certain probability this is all down to Russian intelligence,' he said. '

They and the GRU are just a bunch of petulant little boys. They're trying to suggest they have the ability to disrupt and influence through a level of nuisance action.'

A swarm of drones is spotted over in New Jersey, America, which has alarmed US officials 

Drones have been sighted at military bases in the UK and US. Pictured is one drone circling an American weapons base in New Jersey - which experts say is Russian 

He added: 'I would say we will see another flurry of activity in the next few months for sure. Whether drones or something else, I suspect something else.'

Col Ingram said Russians or their agents could also be using the UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to test Western forces' responses and capabilities.

He suggested they were potentially carrying out such operations to massage Russian tyrant Putin's bruised ego, after his failures in Ukraine.

He also claimed the drones were part of a wider spate of small, 'seemingly isolated' incidents which could be part of a larger coordinated test of disruption tactics.

'There's a pattern building up and from an intelligence perspective, I don't like patterns,' Col Ingram added.

'Each one of these things in isolation won't massively disrupt our way of life and none will potentially raise a big question mark but if you suddenly put them together and they all happen at once, then the level of disruption you could have could be really serious.'

The sightings follow a series of suspicious incidents worldwide, which have seen hackers carrying out cyber attacks, sabotaging underwater internet cables and bomb scares triggering chaos at Gatwick and in central London.

The FBI and other agencies are said to investigating the sightings in America, but the Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing.'

Britain this week unveiled its newest weapon in the war against drones - a high powered laser which is able to scorch the devices out of the sky in seconds.

The high-energy device, mounted on the roof of a Wolfhound armoured vehicle, was successfully tested at the Radnor Range in mid-Wales.

Soldiers from 16 Royal Artillery - an air defence regiment based near Portsmouth, Hampshire - were able to track and destroy hovering targets.

Retired police lieutenant and intelligence analyst Tim McMillan told DailyMail.com the descriptions of the UFOs in Jersey 'sound exactly like Russian Orlan-10 drones' — secretive craft that fly in packs of three to five.

The Orlan-10 craft comes with 'standard positional lighting' — a red light on the left (port) wingtip, a green light on the right (starboard) wingtip, and white taillights, similar to the lights seen on ordinary aircraft and Jersey's 'mystery drones.'

Experts suggest that Russia could be carrying out an intelligence-gathering mission known as 'ferreting', meant to intentionally trigger and test a rival's airspace defence procedures and response times.

Or the Kremlin could simply be spying on allies of Ukraine who are aiding the fight against Russia's invasion.

While experts could not rule out a theory that Iran was behind the attacks, argued by NJ Congressman Jeff Van Drew, but denied by the Pentagon, White House officials have long noted that Russia and Iran collaborate on military drone development.

'Russia has been very aggressive and reckless with its responses to Western support of Ukraine,' Lt McMillan told DailyMail.com. 'This isn't something I see discussed in US media, but it's well documented and openly discussed here in Europe.'

The first New Jersey drone sightings appeared over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal on November 18, but reports to varying levels of credibility have now spread to at least 12 counties throughout the Garden State.

Officials have received reports of craft flying of 'water reservoirs, electric transmission lines, rail stations, police departments, and military installations' in recent weeks, according to Florham Park, NJ police chief Joseph J Orlando.

But those earliest and most credible sightings above Picatinny, according to Lt McMillan, are most worth focusing on.

'Picatinny Arsenal,' as Lt McMillan told DailyMail.com, is 'home of the US Army's CCDC Armaments Center, which is responsible for manufacturing and supplying Ukraine with 155mm artillery ammunition.'

Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew has claimed that Iran is behind the drones in New Jersey, telling reporters that the nation parked a 'mothership' off the East Coast.

MailOnline have approached the MoD for further comment

Satellite images spy Iranian 'mothership' linked to mysterious drones flying over New Jersey

• READ MORE: Live updates for drones over New Jersey 

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Satellite images have spotted the Iranian 'mothership' linked to the mysterious drones in New Jersey.

The Shahid Bagheri drone carrier was last seen at its berth in the Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex on November 12, but an image taken 18 days later showed its docking station empty.

That is around the same time New Jersey police started to be inundated with sightings of drones in the skies, flying in clusters and acting strangely.

New Jersey Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew claimed this week there was 'circumstantial evidence’ that Iran's ship was releasing the drones from America's East Coast.

Van Drew said that Iran made a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies' for the drone attack on the US, a theory the Pentagon has dismissed.

Drew doubled down on his claims Thursday, saying 'credible individuals that have security clearance... believe there's a real possibility it could be Iran.'

He also argued that the US is not being told the truth and the American public are being treated as 'stupid.'

The 800ft-long Shahid Bagheri has since been spotted on satellite in the open waters of the Persian Gulf. It would take around 13 days for the ship to travel from Iran to America's East Coast.

The Shahid Bagheri drone carrier was last seen at its berth in the Iran Shipbuilding & Offshore Industries Complex on November 12, but an image taken 18 days later showed its station empty

The militarized cargo ship is allegedly conducting its first sea trials since leaving the nearby Iran Shipyard and Offshore Industries (ISOICO) shipyard.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh said: 'There's no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there's no so-called 'mothership' launching drones toward the United States,' said Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.

She reiterated the Pentagon does not believe the drones are coming from a foreign adversary but also stated they are not US military drones.

Numerous 'SUV-sized' craft have appeared in the state since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time, according to eyewitnesses.

The first sightings were over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, which raised concerns the drones were part of spy campaign.

Shahid Bagheri was spotted on December 12 in the open waters near two of Iran's naval ships: Shahid Roudaki and Shahid Mahdavi.

Shahid Roudaki was a merchant ship that was repurposed for military use. It is capable of carrying drones, helicopters and missile launchers.

The carrier (bottom left) was pictured in formation with two of Iran's naval ships: Shahid Roudaki (top right) and Shahid Mahdavi (bottom right)

And Shahid Mahdavi, developed in 2023, was 'designed for long-range operations and is outfitted with missiles, air defense systems, and advanced radar technology.'

White House National Security spokesman John Kirby was pressed about a Van Drew's claim on Thursday, replying the drones not foreign, and they may not even be drones.

'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,' Kirby told reporters Thursday.

The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI reiterated Kirby's statements in a joint release Thursday saying that there is no national security risk.

'We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus,' the statement reads.

Shahid Mahdavi, developed in 2023, was 'designed for long-range operations and is outfitted with missiles, air defense systems, and advanced radar technology'

But New Jersey State Representative Paul Kanitra (R) questioned this.

'That goes directly against what the federal Department of Homeland Security told us in the briefing Wednesday,' said Kanitra. I couldn’t possibly understand what their motivation is to try and diminish this.'

New Jersey Assemblymember Brian Bergen (R) also hit back at Kirby's claims.

'That guy is an idiot. That I can tell you right now,' Bergen, a former US Army helicopter pilot, said Thursday evening in an interview on Fox News.

Mysterious drone sightings in the skies above New Jersey continued to alarm locals and baffle experts on Friday, despite assurances from the White House that they pose no threat.

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby insisted that the public had nothing to fear, but admitted that officials were still struggling to corroborate some of the reports.

The first drone sightings appeared over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and over Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster on November 18. 

Donald Trump explodes over drone 'invasion' and sends Biden an ominous warning

The president-elect demanded the drones flying over multiple US states be shot down by the Biden White House after days of mysterious sightings across the sky.

The first sightings were over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, which raised concerns the drones are part of spy campaign.

The president-elect didn't directly address the sightings over his club, but demanded action from Joe Biden and the government in a Truth Social post Friday.

He wrote: '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.'

Drones, planes or UFOs? Americans abuzz over mysterious New Jersey sightings

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHATHAM, N.J. (AP) - That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It's unclear if it's drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward.

Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights.

This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what's behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey's new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X.

More drone sightings have been reported in New York City, and Mayor Eric Adams says the city is investigating and collaborating with New Jersey and federal officials. And then President-elect Donald Trump posted that he believes the government knows more than it´s saying. "Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!" he posted on his social media site.

But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies, none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they're looking into what's happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else.

Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump´s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on.

This photo provided by Trisha Bushey shows the evening sky and points of light near in Lebanon Township, N.J., on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024.

In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group.

The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones - let´s solve it, has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there.

One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it´s otherworldly. "Straight up orbs," the person says. Others weigh in to say it´s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.)

Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she's glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said.

"I find myself - instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house - checking it," she said.

She doesn't buy what the governor said, that the drones aren't a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose "a national securityor public safetythreat or have a foreign nexus."

"How can you say it´s not posing a threat if you don´t know what it is?" she said. "I think that´s why so many people are uneasy."

Then there's the notion that people could misunderstand what they're seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots.

Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they're looking at.

Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories.

"It represents the United States of America in 2024," Austin said. "We´ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it."

Federal officials echo Austin's view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy.

That's not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects.

For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it´s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions.

"My main goal is I don´t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time," he said.

"Whether or not it´s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I´m saying is it´s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time," he added.

My New Jersey home was menaced by 30 drones in one night - here's who is controlling the aircraft

By BETHAN SEXTON and RUTH BASHINSKY IN NEW JERSEY FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A New Jersey resident has revealed her terror after spotting dozens of drones in the skies above her home.

Irene Piasis said she was out driving on Sunday when she saw 30 UFOs hovering above Chatham.

She is among those who have called on President Joe Biden to provide answers as hysteria over the unexplained phenomenon threatened to engulf the entire country

It has been several weeks since the first drones were sighted over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and Donald Trump's golf course.

The White House has so far failed to provide an explanation for the sightings, which have resulted in more than 3,000 reports to the FBI.

As Garden State locals reported seeing 'car-sized' drones flying overhead, Piasis was unequivocal about who she believes is responsible.

'I think it's the government,' she told DailyMail.com. 'I thought it was the Biden administration trying to play with us because Trump came in, so they were shooting it off.' 

The hair stylist explained she was on her way to Parsippany on Sunday night when she looked up and saw the drones.

'I was getting a little scared,' she added. ‘Everyone is talking about it. Nobody knows. At least come forth and say, "this is what is going to happen this month. We are testing drones for the military - dah dah dah". 

'What the f**k! Call the FBI they tell you. This is getting ridiculous.'

Her pleas for transparency have been echoed by the president-elect, who called for the objects to be shot down.

'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,' he wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

He joined several other lawmakers in New Jersey and beyond demanding more information be released.

On Friday, US National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby reiterated his insistence that the sightings are nothing nefarious.

'Many of the corroborated sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft. I didn't say all of them, and what I said was those are the ones we were able to corroborate,' Kirby told Fox.

'There certainly is ones that we have not been able to, and we don't know the answer to it, and I strongly recommend that for folks that are seeing these things and documenting them to share that as they can with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.'

Dramatic moment mysterious flaming drone descends in New Jersey

US National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby has insisted that the sightings pose no threat to national security but admitted officials have not been able to corroborate all reports 

Explanations for the sightings have ranged from everything from foreign interference to extraterrestrial contact but officials have stressed there is no threat.

'My nephew, he has drones and he was saying military testing,' Piasis added. 

‘All different countries use the drones - China, Russia - they are very big on drones we are not we are always behind. If we were being invaded don’t you think they would have figured it out by now. It is two weeks now.

'You are not going to find out the real reason. Go call up Washington.'

Are drones over New Jersey alien tech? UFO expert says there's 'something nefarious about this'

• READ MORE: I'm a tech expert- here's what you should know about the digital world 

By KIM KOMANDO FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The White House has ruled out foreign adversaries and hobbyists as the cause of the drone invasion in New Jersey, leaving many residents to speculate it could be aliens.

The internet has been flooded with images and videos showing bright orbs and triangle-shaped craft having in the night sky that move in bizarre flight patterns.

George Noory, host of Coast-to-Coast AM and a leading voice of the unexplained, told DailyMail.com: 'It's bizarre. There's something else very, very nefarious about this.'

The drones are avoiding capture, he said, adding, 'They shut their lights off, they are undetectable in some cases. It's very, very bizarre. This could be an act of war for all I know.'

But alien tech? Norry said it doesn't add up.

'I'm going to rule out extraterrestrial. It doesn't sound like that,' he said. 'It sounds more like a military effort than anything else.'

'I'm going to rule out extraterrestrial. It doesn't sound like that,' he said. 'It sounds more like a military effort than anything else.'

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the initial assessment is that 'this is not the work of a foreign adversary or a foreign entity.'

The FBI and Homeland Security are investigating, and politicians have conflicting takes.

White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said this week that many of the reported drones are manned aircraft being operated lawfully.

'A congressman out of New Jersey believes that there is an Iranian ship parked off the East Coast of the US and it is sending these drones over certain military bases, Donald Trump's golf course, and strange strategic locations,' Noory said.

The drones were first spotted in northern New Jersey, near Morris County, in November.

Residents said the drones gather in clusters at night and fly with their lights off. They appear to avoid detection by helicopter and radio.

'There's some helicopters that have been seen in the area, and these things seem to avoid those,' said Noory.

A few spots drones have surveyed: military research facility Picatinny Arsenal, President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, and around critical infrastructure including water reservoirs, electrical transmission lines, police stations and military bases.

'Drones are legal as long as they're registered with the FAA and are allowed to fly around certain spots,' Noory said. 'But this is weird.'

There are some notable no-fly zones even for registered drones: around airports, military installations, certain landmarks, nuclear plants and stadiums during sports games.

Swarms of drones have been spotted in the skies of New Jersey for weeks, sparking officials to call for a 'limited state of emergency'

The FAA issued a temporary ban on flights over Trump's golf course and Picatinny Arsenal Military Base after requests from federal partners.

Noory said the fact that there's been no official statement on what's going on could mean the government doesn't want to worry U.S. citizens.

'Maybe there's something that's a little more nefarious, a little more dangerous and they don't want to alert and panic the public,' he continued.

'I'm hoping to God that our government is investigating this very thoroughly. I have to assume they are — they're just not letting us all know what's going on.'

'The other thing you've got to be concerned about is, drones carry missiles in some cases. Hope to God that these aren't warfare.'

One of the strangest parts of this story is the size of the reported drones, Noory said.

'They obviously are not from hobbyists. There's not a bunch of kids flying these little toys around,' he added.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is one of several politicians who have called for shooting down the drones if necessary.

Is that even possible? Would we have time to disable them? 'Oh, yeah, we've got the technology to take these out,' Noory says. 'There's no question.'

So, why is the government permitting them to stick around at this point? Will we get answers, or is this destined to remain another unexplained phenomenon?

'I think we may be watching them right now,' Noory says. 'But eventually, we're going to take action and probably start shooting these things down.'

Meanwhile, a Facebook group with 32.8K members and growing is buzzing with theories and concerns. One poster, Madison Leigh, said she'd heard reports the drones were leaving chemtrails.

For most folks, it's fear of the unknown that has them commenting and sharing stories on Facebook.

Jenna Diehl of Pohatcong, New Jersey posted that she saw hundreds of drones over her house in one night. 'These are not manmade drones. These are huge.'

'We are being watched and we are being invaded,' she wrote.

Are drones over New Jersey alien tech? UFO expert says there's 'something nefarious about this'

• READ MORE: I'm a tech expert- here's what you should know about the digital world 

By KIM KOMANDO FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The White House has ruled out foreign adversaries and hobbyists as the cause of the drone invasion in New Jersey, leaving many residents to speculate it could be aliens.

The internet has been flooded with images and videos showing bright orbs and triangle-shaped craft having in the night sky that move in bizarre flight patterns.

George Noory, host of Coast-to-Coast AM and a leading voice of the unexplained, told DailyMail.com: 'It's bizarre. There's something else very, very nefarious about this.'

The drones are avoiding capture, he said, adding, 'They shut their lights off, they are undetectable in some cases. It's very, very bizarre. This could be an act of war for all I know.'

But alien tech? Norry said it doesn't add up.

'I'm going to rule out extraterrestrial. It doesn't sound like that,' he said. 'It sounds more like a military effort than anything else.'

'I'm going to rule out extraterrestrial. It doesn't sound like that,' he said. 'It sounds more like a military effort than anything else.'

Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the initial assessment is that 'this is not the work of a foreign adversary or a foreign entity.'

The FBI and Homeland Security are investigating, and politicians have conflicting takes.

White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said this week that many of the reported drones are manned aircraft being operated lawfully.

'A congressman out of New Jersey believes that there is an Iranian ship parked off the East Coast of the US and it is sending these drones over certain military bases, Donald Trump's golf course, and strange strategic locations,' Noory said.

The drones were first spotted in northern New Jersey, near Morris County, in November.

Residents said the drones gather in clusters at night and fly with their lights off. They appear to avoid detection by helicopter and radio.

'There's some helicopters that have been seen in the area, and these things seem to avoid those,' said Noory.

A few spots drones have surveyed: military research facility Picatinny Arsenal, President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, and around critical infrastructure including water reservoirs, electrical transmission lines, police stations and military bases.

'Drones are legal as long as they're registered with the FAA and are allowed to fly around certain spots,' Noory said. 'But this is weird.'

There are some notable no-fly zones even for registered drones: around airports, military installations, certain landmarks, nuclear plants and stadiums during sports games.

Swarms of drones have been spotted in the skies of New Jersey for weeks, sparking officials to call for a 'limited state of emergency'

The FAA issued a temporary ban on flights over Trump's golf course and Picatinny Arsenal Military Base after requests from federal partners.

Noory said the fact that there's been no official statement on what's going on could mean the government doesn't want to worry U.S. citizens.

'Maybe there's something that's a little more nefarious, a little more dangerous and they don't want to alert and panic the public,' he continued.

'I'm hoping to God that our government is investigating this very thoroughly. I have to assume they are — they're just not letting us all know what's going on.'

'The other thing you've got to be concerned about is, drones carry missiles in some cases. Hope to God that these aren't warfare.'

One of the strangest parts of this story is the size of the reported drones, Noory said.

'They obviously are not from hobbyists. There's not a bunch of kids flying these little toys around,' he added.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut is one of several politicians who have called for shooting down the drones if necessary.

Is that even possible? Would we have time to disable them? 'Oh, yeah, we've got the technology to take these out,' Noory says. 'There's no question.'

So, why is the government permitting them to stick around at this point? Will we get answers, or is this destined to remain another unexplained phenomenon?

'I think we may be watching them right now,' Noory says. 'But eventually, we're going to take action and probably start shooting these things down.'

Uri Geller says drone sightings are UFOs 'warning' Earth with 'show of power and superior tech'

The self-proclaimed psychic claimed that the 'drones' being sighted near airbases around the world are not 'man made' but instead another force wanting to 'show off'

By Dan Grennan

Celebrity psychic Uri Geller has claimed that recent 'drone' sightings near airbases are "not man-made" but instead a warning from UFOs with technology outside of our understanding.

Geller claimed the UFOs "want to be seen" in a series of social media posts, also speculating that the repeated sightings were a "warning".

There have been a number of reports of flying crafts with strange lights spotted near US airbases - in New Jersey, Germany and RAF Lakenheath in the UK. The 77-year-old illusionist claims we're in the midst of the "the biggest cover up since Roswell" by blaming "drones" for the sightings.

Uri's extra terrestrial assertions are supported by TV psychic Deborah Davies, who predicted aliens will soon visit us as they will no longer fear us. After one US Senator claimed Iran could be behind the mysterious sightings, Uri took to X to set out his views.

He said: "Trying to blame these sightings on Iran – and claiming they come from an Iranian “mothership” - has to be one of the most ridiculous cover stories since the infamous ROSWELL incident, when the US government claimed that the UFO debris they had retrieved was nothing more than the remains of a weather balloon!!

"If these are really just 'drones' then why does the US military appear to be completely POWERLESS to stop them, as they blatantly and persistently infiltrate their air space – and WHY are they able to fly without any consequence, day after day, over incredibly strategically sensitive locations?

"It is obvious that these craft are NOT making any attempt to hide or go 'under the radar' – in fact, their intention seems to be precisely the opposite. They appear to want to be seen, witnessed and blatantly noticed!

"They are not SPYING in any sense of the word – they are instead putting on a very public 'show' and demonstrating their ability to continually and easily observe and infiltrate US military bases – and evade and outmanoeuvre any effort to deter them.

Reports of mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey appear to have now spread to multiple US states and foreign countries, as residents and local officials demand answers from the US Government. 

Numerous 'car-sized' drones have been seen hovering throughout the state since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time. 

The first drone sightings appeared over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and over President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster on November 18. 

But reports of varying levels of credibility have now spread to at least 12 counties throughout the Garden State, as well as eastern Pennsylvania and Orange County, New York. 

The FBI and other agencies are investigating, but the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing.'

Everything we know now

During a Tuesday coongressional hearing, Robert Wheeler, assistant FBI director, said that more than 3,000 sightings had been provided to the agency's tip line set up last week.

When asked if these drones posed a threat to public safety, he said: 'There is nothing known that would lead me to say that, but we just don’t know and that’s the concerning part.'

The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement Thursday, saying that many of the reports are legally operated manned aircraft.

The Biden administration and the Pentagon have also pushed back against claims by Republican lawmakers that the drones are being operated by any one of America's foreign adversaries — including claims that the flights originate from an Iranian 'mothership' offshore.

Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that Iran launched the vessel 'probably about a month ago' after making a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies.'

Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Sing said in a briefing: 'At this time we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.'

DailyMail.com has recieved unverified reports from New Jersey residents stating that since the drones began flying over their communities, they have developed rhinitis and swollen runny eyes.'

Drones sightings reported in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania

Over the last several weeks, New Jersey residents have reported seeing numerous, 'car-sized' drones hovering throughout the state, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time.

Now the sightings have spread to two more states: Pennsylvania and New York.

On Thursday evening, Pennsylvania residents took to social media to share reports of lights in the sky from the Easton area to the Slate Belt and beyond.

Multiple sightings were also reported in the Poconos. The Monroe County Office of Emergency Management said it was aware of reports throughout the county in a Facebook post.

That same night, emergency officials in Orange County, New York, stated that they were 'aware of several reported incidents of drone sightings throughout Orange County this evening,' in a Facebook post.

Residents of Texas, Oklahoma and California have also reported potential drone sightings, but at this time, there is no evidence to suggest they are linked to the sightings in northeastern states.

Social media reports claim drones are 'spraying' unknown substance over New Jersey

Multiple reports claiming that drones were seen 'spraying' an unknown substance over New Jersey have surfaced on social media.

Photos and videos show lights in the night sky that appear to be followed by long trails of vapor or a beam of light.

'Clear footage captured by NJ resident of drone ejecting large amount of liquid. Resident noted a chemical smell in the air after drones repeated spraying at night,' one person posted on X.

But these images - and the reports - are unverified.

What are the mysterious SUV-size drones spotted flying over New Jersey? All the theories explained

• READ MORE: Live updates on mysterious flying drones in New Jersey

By ELLYN LAPOINTE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

New Jersey residents and officials are demanding answers about mysterious drone sightings that have been blamed on everything from foreign governments to alien UFOs.

Numerous 'SUV-sized' craft have appeared in the state since mid-November, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time, according to eyewitnesses.

The first sightings were over the US Army's Picatinny Arsenal and President-elect Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, which raised concerns the drones are part of spy campaign.

That appeared to be corroborated this week by NJ congressman Jeff Van Drew who claimed the drones were coming from an 'Iranian mothership' off the east coast.

However, reports of varying levels of credibility have now spread to at least 12 counties throughout Garden State and the Pentagon has said there is 'no evidence' to back up Van Drew's claims.

Two intelligence experts told DailyMail.com that the descriptions of the craft by eyewitnesses 'sound exactly like Russian Orlan-10 drones' — secretive craft that fly in packs of three to five.

To add further confusion, the White House has told the public that there is no evidence the sightings are drones at all, saying they appear to be simply 'manned aircraft' being operated lawfully.

Here are all the main theories about what's going on in New Jersey: 

New Jersey residents and local officials are demanding answers as reports of mysterious drones flying over the state have climbed into the thousands 

Iranian 'mothership'

Van Drew said Wednesday that Iran launched the vessel 'probably about a month ago' after making a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies.'

'These drones should be shot down,' he told FOX News, adding that 'the military is on full alert with this.' 

He accused the Pentagon of being 'incredibly stupid and incredibly weak' when it comes to addressing the drones.

'I had credible individuals who have high-security ratings, and they came to me and again, these are dependable, credible individuals that have security clearance that felt they wanted to clear the air,' Van Drew told Fox News on Thursday.

'They were in essence whistleblowers and said look, they believe there's a real possibility it could be Iran,' the lawmaker insisted.

'There could be a ship out. Not right on the coast of New Jersey, not right there, but these drones as sighted by the coast guard are coming in and out of the ocean,' he continued.

Russia has infiltrated US airspace

Intelligence analysts have revealed why they believe Russia is behind the mysterious drones invading the skies over New Jersey.

US Army general Darryl Williams described a situation that mirrors what has unfolded at American/NATO bases across Europe that are known to supply arms to Ukraine.

Reports of varying levels of credibility have now spread to at least 12 counties throughout Garden State and the Pentagon has said there is 'no evidence' to back up Van Drew's claims.

And retired police lieutenant and intelligence analyst Tim McMillan told DailyMail.com that the descriptions of the UFOs in Jersey 'sound exactly like Russian Orlan-10 drones' — secretive craft that fly in packs of three to five.

Lt McMillan and other experts have noted that the New Jersey sightings circled around Picatinny Arsenal, home of the US Army's CCDC Armaments Center, which is responsible for manufacturing and supplying Ukraine with artillery ammunition.

These experts suggest that Russia could be carrying out an intelligence-gathering mission known as 'ferreting', meant to intentionally trigger and test their foreign rival's airspace defense procedures and response time.

Or Russia could simply be spying on allies of Ukraine who are aiding the fight against Russia's occupation of its southeastern regions, including Donetsk and Mariupol.

American conducting secret operations

A 'swarming drone' expert told APP.com that the drones are the work of the US military.

'If I were to list all the options of who this could be, the very first obvious thing is it has something to do with the military, the U.S. military,' said Pramod Abichandani.

Michael Pellettiere of Lanoka Harbor told DailyMail.com: 'It could be a government contractor, then they would tell the truth, or they are straight up lying. 

'I trust the Pentagon less than I trust Mexican tap water.'

He continued to explain that the lack of answers from the government is very frustrating.

'If it's secret testing or something, just tell us it's testing. If it's a threat let us know it's security. We don't need all the details if would mess up what's going on , but let the people know something,' Pellettiere added.

For weeks, numerous 'car-sized' drones have been hovering throughout the state, sometimes appearing in groups and often remaining in the same place for hours at a time

Alien invasion

While no answers have come from the government, many New Jersey residents have been left to think aliens are invading the skies.

Katelin Lee told DailyMail.com: '[It's aliens. I mean, what else could it be? People are seeing orbs there's plenty of video evidence.'

Resident Ken Ahitya agreed, saying: 'I think there were real sightings of Non-Human Intelligence that happened at the end of November.

'The government most likely already knew about this, so to prevent mass hysteria and panic, they released drones up in the air to confuse the masses.'

Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Sing said in a briefing: 'At this time we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.' 

Rep Chris Smith (R) also spoke during a congressional meeting Tuesday, revealing a report of 50 drones coming in off the ocean and following US Coast Guard boats.

The representative also noted that 'it could be Putin, Xi Jinping in China or the Middle East, we cannot rule any of that out.'

The FBI and other agencies are investigating the strange activity, but a representative from the Department of Homeland Security said Wednesday: 'We have no more information as to where these drones are coming from, where they're launching from, where they're landing.'

Then one day later, Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew made a wild claim that an Iranian 'mothership' was behind the drone invasion, saying it was parked offshore.

He said Iran launched the vessel 'probably about a month ago' after making a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies.'

'These drones should be shot down,' he told FOX News, adding that 'the military is on full alert with this.'

However, the Pentagon rushed to claim there is no evidence the drones are the work of an adversary and denied there's an Iranian 'mothership' lurking off the coast.

Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Sing said in a briefing: 'At this time we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.'

The first video footage showed drones with green and red lights on their wings and multiple eyewitnesses described them as large as a small car.

Drones have since been reported in 12 counties: Sussex, Passaic, Bergen, Essex, Monmouth, Ocean, Camden, Burlington, Somerset, Hunterdon, Morris and Warren. 

Mayors in 21 towns across the state have now written a joint letter to New Jersey Gov Phil Murphy calling for statewide action. 

During a Tuesday congressional hearing, Robert Wheeler, assistant FBI director, said: 'There is nothing known that would lead me to say that, but we just don't know and that's the concerning part.

He told Congress that more than 3,000 sightings had been provided to the agency's tip line set up last week.

They have been spotted over water reservoirs, electric transmission lines, rail stations, police departments and other military installations. 

The drones' talent for evading their federal and local law enforcement pursuers has frustrated Governor Phil Murphy and government investigators alike.  

'We're not getting good characteristics of the drone,' the head of the Ocean County, NJ Sheriffs Office drone unit, Sergeant Kevin Fennessy said.

And, in fact, New Jersey officials and residents have also seen drones that do not resemble fixed-wing aircraft deepening the mystery of the craft's origins and intent.

'We had one the other night that, as we're watching it, it just shuts the lights off and it's gone,' Sgt Fennessy told The New York Times, 'pure darkness.'

During the hearing, Sen Jon Bramnick (R) said: 'The State of New Jersey should issue a limited state of emergency banning all drones until the public receives an explanation regarding these multiple sightings.' 

Rep Chris Smith (R) also spoke during the meeting, revealing a report of 50 drones coming in off the ocean and have followed US Coast Guard boats.

The representative also noted that 'it could be Putin, Xi Jinping in China or the Middle East, we cannot rule any of that out.'

According to one NJ local, this image depicts roughly nine of the unidentified drones flying in to the Garden State from the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday night, December 5

Republican Rep Jeff Van Drew said Wednesday that Iran launched the vessel 'probably about a month ago' after making a deal with China 'to purchase drones, a mothership and other technologies.' 

'These drones should be shot down,' he told FOX News, adding that 'the military is on full alert with this.' 

However, the Pentagon rushed to claim there is no evidence the drones are the work of an adversary and denied there's an Iranian 'mothership' lurking off the coast.

Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Sing said in a briefing: 'At this time we have no evidence that these activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.'

Intelligence analysis who spoke with DailyMail.com have a different theory. 

They believe Russia could be behind the strange activity, despite the Pentagon's statement.

US Army general Darryl Williams described a situation that mirrors what has unfolded at American/NATO bases across Europe that are known to supply arms to Ukraine.

And retired police lieutenant and intelligence analyst Tim McMillan told DailyMail.com that the descriptions of the UFOs in Jersey 'sound exactly like Russian Orlan-10 drones' -  secretive craft that fly in packs of three to five.

Lt McMillan and other experts have noted that the New Jersey sightings circled around Picatinny Arsenal, home of the US Army's CCDC Armaments Center, which is responsible for manufacturing and supplying Ukraine with artillery ammunition.

These experts suggest that Russia could be carrying out an intelligence-gathering mission known as 'ferreting', meant to intentionally trigger and test their foreign rival's airspace defense procedures and response time. 

Russia is suspected of flying several drones - including military UAVs like this Russian Orlan-10 (above) - over a nuclear power plant in Germany, state security officers said. The lights and shape of the Orlan-10 make it a possible candidate explaining the drones over New Jersey

Above, an Orlan-10 system being tested during the 'Slavic Brotherhood 2018 war games'

Russia could simply be spying on allies of Ukraine who are aiding the fight against its occupation of the nation's southeastern regions, including Donetsk and Mariupol.

While experts could not rule out Congressman Van Drew's theory that Iran was behind the attacks, White House officials have long noted that Russia and Iran collaborate on military drone development.

'Russia has been very aggressive and reckless with its responses to Western support of Ukraine,' Lt McMillan told DailyMail.com. 'This isn't something I see discussed in US media, but it's well documented and openly discussed here in Europe.'

The experts said the New Jersey sightings resemble the description of Russian drones known as 'Orlan-10.'

The Orlan-10 craft comes with 'standard positional lighting' - a red light on the left (port) wingtip, a green light on the right (starboard) wingtip, and white taillights, similar to the lights seen on ordinary aircraft and Jersey's 'mystery drones.' 

What's more, the Russian craft fly in packs for three to five, similar to what has been reported in New Jersey. 

 Packs of Orlan-10s, Lt McMillan noted, often come 'with each one running a different package like EW [electronic warfare] and data relays.' 

The comment matches some reports in New Jersey, where one family in Morris County reported a drone that interfered with their car's dashboard clock.

On Tuesday, Congress asked an FBI assistant director with the bureau's Critical Incident Response Group, Robert Wheeler, if these drones posed a threat to public safety.

Mysterious drones again seen flying at night over New Jersey

Officials and residents have also seen drones that do not resemble fixed-wing aircraft (example above) deepening the mystery of the craft's origins and intent 

'There is nothing that is known that would lead me to say that,' Wheeler told Congress, 'but we just don't know. And that's the concerning part.'

The Biden administration has also pushed back on claims by Republican lawmakers that the drones are being operated by any one of America's foreign adversaries — including claims that the flights originate from an Iranian 'mothership' offshore.

'No indication at this time that it's a foreign adversary or a foreign actor,' The White House's national security communications advisor John Kirby told NewsNation's Kellie Meyer. 'The FBI is looking at this. DOJ is looking at this.'

'I know the Department of Defense, when it affects or comes near a military base, they're looking at this,' Kirby added. 'In some cases, the investigation has led to a revelation that it's actually manned aircraft and not drones at all.'

Governor Murphey has also claimed that the drones 'pose no threat.'  

Despite federal and state officials' assurances, other local police, like the chief of police for the New Jersey borough of Florham Park, are convinced that the drones pose a serious threat.

'Their presence appears nefarious in nature,' Police Chief Orlando said.

This is just mindblowing! A pilot was flying on the Eugene-Seattle route when he and his copilot saw some glowing spheres that moved around, over and in front of them. The objects were red, but video shows them differently due to digital vs human eye. This is big, real big, in the way that it's so rare. Yet right now the US gov is labeling all UFOs as drones. It's a new Gov scam they are pulling. What are they really? Alien space craft flying around in our skies.
