Trump Administration Confirms New Jersey Drone Sightings Were Authorized FAA Flights, Hobbyists

 

While the mainstream media pushed speculation about foreign threats, the swarm of unidentified drones spotted over New Jersey in recent months sparked widespread public concern and intense speculation.

 

Multiple sightings near sensitive military installations led to investigations by both the FBI and Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, residents across the state continued to report mysterious aircraft in their neighborhoods.

 

These “car-sized” drones, as described by witnesses, raised particular alarm when they were observed entering restricted airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey.

Local law enforcement agencies received hundreds of calls about the unexplained aerial activity. Some citizens even expressed fears about potential foreign surveillance or worse.

 

Today, the Trump administration provided definitive answers about the source of these mysterious aircraft. In her first White House press briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that the drones were operating legally and posed no security threat to American citizens.

The Growing Concern

The situation had grown particularly tense after Naval Weapons Station Earle confirmed multiple instances of unidentified drones entering their airspace. Bill Addison, public affairs officer for the naval station, discussed the situation last month.

“While no direct threats to the installation have been identified, we can confirm multiple instances of unidentified drones entering the airspace above Naval Weapons Station Earle,” Addison said at the time.

The sightings weren’t limited to military installations. Residents across New Jersey and neighboring states reported similar aircraft, leading to increased anxiety about potential security threats.

Unlike the previous administration’s pattern of deflection, in today’s briefing, Leavitt delivered a statement directly from President Trump explaining the true nature of the drone activity.

“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons,” Leavitt said. “Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.”

 

The White House clarified that while the number of drones increased due to public curiosity about the sightings, there was never any malicious intent behind the aerial activity.

Once again, the facts tell a different story than what Americans were led to believe. This revelation comes after months of speculation and concern. The Trump administration’s transparent explanation stands in contrast to earlier uncertainty, providing clear answers about the nature and purpose of the drone activity.

The statement confirms that proper security protocols were in place throughout the period of increased drone activity. While the presence of drones near military installations warranted investigation, the administration’s thorough review found no evidence of threatening behavior.
