US Pdwellnt-elect Donald Trump has called for the “shooting down” of the mystery drones that have been materializeing in various parts of the country.
These drones were first spotted in New Jersey a restricted days ago and are now being seen in other areas as well.
The federal rulement and the White House have so far upgrasped that these do not pose any national security menace and nor there is any evidence of a foreign hand in it. The materializeance of the mystery drones, however, progresss to be the subject of spendigation.
“Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this reassociate be happening without our rulement’s understandledge? I don’t leank so,” Trump shelp on Friday in a post on Truth Social, a social media platestablish owned by him.
“Let the accessible understand, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!! DJT,” he shelp with his personal signature at the finish of the post.
The White House on Thursday shelp there was no evidence yet that the inestablished drone sightings pose a national security or a accessible safety menace or that they have a foreign nexus.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are spendigating these sightings, laboring seally with state and local law enforcement to provide resources, using many acunderstandledgeion methods to better understand their origin, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby tageder inestablishers.
He inserted that “… upon verify of useable imagery, it materializes that many of the inestablished sightings are actuassociate manned airplan that are being functiond lawfilledy.” “The United States Coast Guard is providing aid to the State of New Jersey and has validateed that there is no evidence of any foreign-based joinment from coastal vessels. And, meaningfully, there are no inestablished or validateed drone sightings in any remercilessed airspace,” Kirby shelp.
In a joint statement, the Department of Homeland Security and FBI also shelp that there was no evidence yet that the inestablished drone sightings pose a national security or a accessible safety menace or have a foreign nexus.
“We are aiding local law enforcement in New Jersey with many acunderstandledgeion methods but have not corroborated any of the inestablished visual sightings with electronic acunderstandledgeion. To the contrary, upon verify of useable imagery, it materializes that many of the inestablished sightings are actuassociate manned airplan, operating lawfilledy. There are no inestablished or validateed drone sightings in any remercilessed air space,” the statement read.
In a letter to the DHS, FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim shelp that “since tardy November, communities in the New York City area and northern New Jersey have inestablished disjoinal incidents of unattributable drone sightings at night, alarming both dwellnts and local law enforcement”.
They highairyed that “the potential safety and security dangers posed by these drones in civilian areas is especiassociate pertinent pondering recent drone incursions at comardent military sites in and outside of the continental United States over the past year”.
Congressman Josh Gottheimer from New Jersey on Friday inspired federal law enforcement agencies, led by the FBI and DHS, to help state and local law enforcement to deploy assets that can safely apshow down drones that “should not be in our skies”.
He wrote a letter to the FBI, DHS and the FAA, asking them to promptly alert the accessible.
“They also need to labor seally with state and local law enforcement to donate them the providement they need to watch drone activity. There is clearly too much of it here in Jersey and other parts of the country,” Gottheimer shelp.
