The Pentagon on Wednesday rejected speculation that a foreign government could be operating the drones in New Jersey to spy on Americans and U.S. military installations. 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) last week issued two flight restrictions on the area surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, following questionable drone activity.  The drone sightings were first reported on Nov. 18, but still continue this week.

An FBI official on Tuesday claimed the bureau does not know much about the drone activity, or who is behind it, but said the agency has not seen anything that would lead them to believe the drones pose a danger to the American public.

Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh supported the FBI statement in a briefing with reporters and said there has been “no evidence” to support theories that the drones have come from a foreign entity or were “the work of an adversary.”

“At no point were our installations threatened when this activity was occurring,” Singh said. “There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States.”

Singh also said there was “no truth” to a comment from New Jersey GOP Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who claimed “very high sources” told him Iran was launching drones from a mothership.

The comments also come after drones were spotted over U.S. military sites in the United Kingdom last month, and near a U.S. base in Langley, Virginia, where the CIA is headquartered.
