Garden State Rep. Jeff Van Drew claimed on Wednesday that the mystery drones appearing in the sky above New Jersey may be coming from an Iranian ship off the East Coast; “What we’ve uncovered is alarming,” the congressman said in a post on X.

Van Drew, whose district includes most of the Jersey Shore, sits on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee; he did not reveal his sources.

“These drones should be shot down,” he said, adding that “the military is on full alert with this.”

“I’m going to tell you the real deal. Iran launched a mothership that contains these drones,” Van Drew said. “It’s off the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones.”

“These are from high sources, I don’t say this lightly,” he added.

From The New York Post:

Van Drew’s startling claim comes as officials have continually told Americans that the drones pose no threat – even as the FBI has admitted they have no idea what they are or how to stop them.

The large drones have been spotted flitting across the night skies across Jersey for weeks, baffling residents with mysterious arrays of flashing lights and seemingly aimless movements.

Sometimes numerous objects have been spotted flying in formation, and they’ve begun appearing across parts of New York, too.

Last Sunday alone, there were 49 reported sightings, mostly in New Jersey.

And their technology appears to be particularly sophisticated. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy explained that every time officials begin trying to track them, the drones “go dark.”
