The White House addressed the mysterious drone sightings over New Jersey, attributing them to authorized FAA operations and hobbyists, while downplaying public concerns. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated that curiosity surrounding the issue exaggerated perceptions of combat threats. Reflections on the significant number of reported sightings, some raising alarms near sensitive areas like airports and military sites, underscore concerns that persisted despite official reassurances. This explanation follows speculation generated by the incidents, marking a contrast between public fear and governmental oversight over drone activities.
"After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for research and various other reasons."
"Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones."
"The public curiosity amplified the situation, adding, 'This was not the enemy,' before moving on to unrelated business."
"The government knows what is happening," Trump asserted during the uproar, and before inauguration.
