Drone Sightings in New Jersey Spark Concern and Debate among Officials and the Public

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is demanding that the Biden administration “do its job” and provide clear answers to concerns surrounding the recent drone sightings in New Jersey, criticizing their responses as insufficient.
“I am extremely concerned about these reports of drones over New Jersey,” Jordan said during a press conference on Tuesday. “The American people are not buying the answers they’re getting from this administration.”
Jordan’s comments come after FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed that only a small percentage of reported sightings have been deemed credible, and officials believe they were lawfully flown drones, planes or stars.
“I think the public is smart enough to understand what we’re dealing with here,” Jordan said. “And I think the American people are not satisfied with these vague answers from this administration.”
The congressman added that he has spoken with his colleagues in Congress who have received frantic calls and messages from constituents expressing concern over the issue.
“The FBI and other agencies are doing their job, but it’s time for the Biden administration to do its job,” Jordan emphasized. “We need transparency, we need honesty, and we need real answers.”
This comes as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent critic of COVID-19 vaccines and government policies, also spoke at the press conference, claiming that the drone sightings are part of a broader conspiracy.
“We know what’s going on here,” Kennedy said. “We’re not going to let this administration get away with it. We’re going to hold them accountable.”
Other officials have weighed in on the situation, including White House national security spokesman John Kirby, who stated that there is no credible evidence suggesting any public safety or national security risks from the reported drone sightings.
Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder dismissed speculation that the military was involved in the incident, stating that it’s unlikely the drones are engaged in intelligence gathering due to their loud and bright nature.
As the situation continues to unfold, officials urge citizens not to point lasers at suspected drones or fire weapons at manned aircraft they have mistaken for drones.
The FBI has reported over 5,000 drone sightings, with about 100 deemed credible enough to warrant further investigation.
