New Jersey has been experiencing a series of mysterious drone sightings, prompting concern and action from both state and federal officials. These drones have been observed over military facilities, including Picatinny Arsenal, and even over former President Donald Trump's Bedminster golf club. The U.S. military has explicitly stated that these drones are not theirs, leading to speculation and theories about their origin and purpose. Governor Phil Murphy has reported that the drones often 'go dark' when spotted, adding to the mystery. In response to the ongoing situation, New Jersey state Senator Jon Bramnick has called for a 'limited state of emergency' to ban all drones until the source of the sightings can be identified. The FBI has expressed concern over the situation, and lawmakers are furious with the federal government's perceived inaction. There is no clear explanation for the drones' presence, with theories ranging from recreational users to potential adversaries spying on critical infrastructure.
