Congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey claimed that drones, reportedly the size of SUVs and sighted since mid-November over New Jersey, are being launched from an Iranian 'mothership' stationed off the U.S. East Coast, possibly involving China. He reported receiving this information from credible and high-level sources. The drones have been spotted over New Jersey, including near properties owned by President-elect Donald Trump. Van Drew urged that the drones should be shot down. However, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh denied these claims, stating there is no evidence that the drones are coming from a foreign entity or adversary, and there is no Iranian 'mothership' off the coast. The Pentagon confirmed that these are not U.S. military drones.
