WASHINGTON – The Trump administration has provided clarity on the mysterious drones spotted over New Jersey late last year, assuring the public there was no malicious intent behind the sightings. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking during her first press briefing under President Donald Trump’s second term, revealed the drones had been authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for research purposes and recreational use.

“These drones were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many were also operated by hobbyists and private individuals who enjoy flying drones,” Leavitt said. “In time, it got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.”
The influx of sightings, particularly in areas like Bedminster, near Trump’s private club, initially raised public alarm and drew scrutiny from the FBI and FAA. Temporary flight restrictions were issued in some areas, while local law enforcement agencies encouraged residents to report suspicious activity.
Investigations by federal and local authorities concluded the majority of sightings were lawful. Experts suggested many of the drones were mistaken for other aerial objects, especially at night. Dr. Will Austin, a national drone expert and president of Warren County Community College, attributed the confusion to the “parallax effect,” which makes it difficult to gauge distance and perspective in the dark.
Tom Adams, a retired FBI special agent and director of public safety at DroneShield, noted that unfamiliarity with drones also contributed to the hysteria. “Drones are still new to a lot of people, and the rules for their use in U.S. airspace remain unclear to the general public,” Adams said.
The FAA, along with other federal agencies, has been urged to increase public education efforts regarding drone regulations to prevent future misidentifications and unwarranted concerns. For now, officials hope this explanation brings peace of mind to residents who were alarmed by the flurry of activity over New Jersey skies.
Sounds innocuous, yet the Biden Administration kept this secret; there must be a reason for that. What were they “researching”?
In exactly which universe would you classify this vague explanation as “providing clarity?!” This answer is a bunch of meaningless words strung together, saying nothing and not explaining a thing. This certainly does NOT “provide clarity!”
so Biden didn’t say, but we didn’t expect much from Demented Joe….
Well at least the War in Ukraine ended on Jan first.
Do you believe the government’s claim? Why?
But yet our beloved government is still dumping chemtrails on the gullible sheeple and no member of government is doing anything to stop it.
