Reports of mysterious SUV-sized drones flying over New Jersey have prompted investigations by the FBI, which has admitted having no information about them. Congressman Jeff Van Drew claimed that the drones could be Iranian and launched from a 'mothership' stationed off the U.S. East Coast, possibly targeting President-elect Trump's New Jersey estate. The drones have been spotted over critical infrastructure, including military bases and Coast Guard vessels, heightening national security concerns. Senator Doug Steinhardt called for a 'limited state of emergency' in response to the sightings, noting that the drones become evasive when approached. Representative Mark Green highlighted bipartisan legislation, the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act, aimed at addressing such threats.
