NJ Lawmakers Call for State of Emergency Over Sophisticated Drones
Dec 11, 2024, 11:25 AM
Mysterious drones have been sighted over New Jersey, prompting widespread concern and calls for a limited state of emergency from state lawmakers. The FBI has acknowledged the presence of these drones but has not identified their origin or purpose, stating there is no apparent threat but not ruling out nefarious motivations. The drones have been observed moving in packs, with some reports suggesting they come from the ocean. A New Jersey police officer reported seeing 50 drones coming in from the sea, and a Coast Guard ship was reportedly followed by between 12 and 30 objects. The sophistication of these drones has been noted by New Jersey Governor, who mentioned that they go dark when detected. Speculation ranges from potential surveillance by foreign entities to a demonstration of vulnerabilities in U.S. air defenses. The U.S. military has denied involvement, and the situation has led to frustration among lawmakers over the lack of federal action.
