Sen. Richard Blumenthal Calls for Shooting Down Mysterious Drones Over Sensitive Areas in New Jersey and Mid-Atlantic Region
Dec 13, 2024, 09:45 PM
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has called for the potential shooting down of mysterious drones spotted over sensitive areas in New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic region. The senator's remarks come amid growing concerns over the unidentified drones, which have been observed flying at night. Blumenthal emphasized that these drones should be 'shot down, if necessary,' as it remains unclear who owns the unmanned aircraft. The situation has escalated, with reports of local residents attempting to shoot down these drones, despite warnings that such actions could be illegal under federal law. Lawmakers have suggested that the U.S. military may need to intervene due to the increasing number of sightings and the potential risks associated with these unidentified aerial vehicles.
