Claims that an Iranian drone mothership is sitting off the east coast of the US and launching drones over New Jersey have added to the questions over what on earth is going on with the mystery.
For days now, large car sized drones sporting anticollision beacon lights have been seen hovering over at least 12 counties inNew Jersey, in particular close to the Trump National Golf Club of Bedminster, with a military base close by having made 11 sightings of the drones.
How are dozens of SUV-sized drones flying over New Jersey on a nightly basis and nobody in our government knows where they’re coming from or what they’re doing?

FBI, Congress, local officials – all baffled.
And no one is even talking about it?

Now Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew says intelligence insiders have told him that Iran is behind the drones.
“I learned from very high sources, from very qualified sources, Iran launched a mothership a month ago that contains these drones, Van Drew said, claiming “It’s off the east coast of the United States.”
Van Drew claimed that China has supplied Iran with the technology, urging “These drones should be shot down!” adding that “We are not getting the full deal, and the military is on alert.”

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "These drones should be SHOT DOWN."
This is utter madness. The military is "on alert."pic.twitter.com/XyrBTlVc27
Van Drew also notes that the drones have been staying out of restricted airspace, indicating that the operators know exactly what they are doing.
Senator Josh Hawley commented that he doesn’t believe the government isn’t aware of who is behind the drones.
If our government really doesn’t know what these giant drones are over New Jersey and our military bases, they’re even more incompetent than we thought. Time for them to level with us about what’s really going on pic.twitter.com/d8ADMgnYoD

The Pentagon flatly denied the claims of an Iranian mothership, but didn’t provide any further details of whether they have any information pertaining to who is behind the drones.

Then…what are they?! Whose are they? Who is propelling them? https://t.co/eFMFQqWbDW

White House National security communications advisor John Kirby commented “The FBI is looking at this. DOJ is looking at this. I know the Department of Defense when it, when it affects or comes near a military base, they’re looking at this. So I can’t tell you definitively exactly what we’re talking about here. In some cases, the, the investigation has led to a revelation that it’s actually manned aircraft and not drones at all. So each one is going to be a little bit different. And you know, we’re looking at this hard. We’re concerned about it as well. But again, I want to stress no indication at this time that it’s a foreign adversary.”
The FBI claims it doesn’t know who is behind the craft. Assistant director Robert Wheeler was asked if the drones are a threat, and he responded “there is nothing known that would lead me to say that, but we just don’t know, and that’s the concerning part.”
During the Homeland Security hearing Tuesday, New Jersey Republican Congressman Chris Smith asked Wheeler “I know you have the capability to identify and bring down drones. Why can’t you deploy them, at least to the ocean, bring one of these down, and find out who’s doing it? They have the capability.”
Wheeler responded that it is a matter for the DoD.
Would be nice if we could actually believe anything these Biden Admin spokespersons say, but we know they reserve the right to lie to us whenever they feel it's necessary, and then just change the story later on as needed. That is standard operating procedure for them.

I am sure someone will say the administration has been perfectly clear and answered this question previously.
— The One True Barrold 🇺🇸 (@BarryHuizenga1) December 11, 2024
We all know the federal government knows exactly where the drones are from and what they are doing here.

I am sorry. The Pentagon said they don’t know what it is, but do know it is not Iranian drones. How is this possible that they don’t know what it is but can unequivocally state it is not something? I don’t follow the logic.

Have they tried tracing the signals or jamming?

I think I’m gonna choose to believe Representative Jeff Van Drew until I hear convincing evidence otherwise. “Nuh-uh” ain’t gonna cut it.

They know what it isn’t but won’t say what it is.

We spend nearly $1 trillion each year on the military, they need to tell us what is going on. We are the client and need to know.
