White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby told Fox News on Friday that the government has no definitive answers regarding the source of drones and other objects flying over New Jersey, New York and other states as concerns and frustration continue to grow.  

“Many of the corroborated sightings have turned out to be piloted aircraft. I didn’t say all of them, and what I said was those are the ones we were able to corroborate,” Kirby said on Fox News. “There certainly is ones that we have not been able to, and we don’t know the answer to it, and I strongly recommend that for folks that are seeing these things and documenting them to share that as they can with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday that the mysterious drones that have been caught hovering over New Jersey are not a threat. 

“We know of no threat or nefarious activity, and I want to repeat…..that if we learn of any cause for concern, we will be transparent in our communication,” Mayorkas said during a CNN interview, according to The Hill.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-NJ, said that he spent Monday night on a beach where he spoke with several individuals, including a U.S. Coast Guard commanding officer stationed nearby. Smith told Fox News that the commanders said a Coast Guard vessel had been closely followed by more than a dozen drones the previous night.

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. 

Federal officials have claimed that they do not know much about the drones, but have assured the public that there has been no threat to the American people as a result of the activity. The Pentagon also said they have not found any evidence that a foreign entity is behind it.

A New Jersey sheriff has sent his own private drone to follow the drones to see if he can get any more information. 

“If this is not our military, then it’s even more scary,” Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said, according to the New York Post. “These things look like they are fixed-wing and they have multiple lights. I’m not really sure how to process what I saw last night. Both the photographer and I were kind of stunned.”

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy sent a letter to the Biden administration, demanding more action and answers.

New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul on Saturday said that everything going on with the drones has gone “too far.”

The runways of Stewart International Airport were shut down for an hour due to the drones. Hochul called on Congress to take action, according to the New York Post.
