NJ Senator Speaks Out Against New Jersey Drones
The New Jersey Senator, John Bramnick, is fed up with the lack of answers over the mysterious drones appearing in his state. He spoke bluntly with NewsNation pointing some accusations at the government for not providing answers.
Bramnick admitted to the news reporter that he called for a "limited state of emergency" and for the "FAA shutting down the airspace for drones." He also argued that he wants the "Department of Defense to come in and answer questions."
From there he made a chilling statement. "Whatever these drones are doing, the government doesn't want us to know." He continued to argue that if the Department of Defense truly doesn't know the origin of these drones then we "are in trouble."
Like most Americans, Senator John Bramnick assumed that "if there was something in the sky the size of a car that the Department of Defense would know where it came from, what it's origin was, and what it's purpose was."
He argues that there is no way the Department of Defense doesn't know what is going on and that the only reason they are not sharing the information is because they fear the publics' response when we find out.
Homeland Security Assures People Mystery Drones Are Not A Threat
Despite the rising speculation over the mysterious New Jersey drones, Homeland Security maintains its position that these drones are not a threat. The Department of Homeland Security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, argued that the mysterious drones are likely "just the result of relaxed rules on the devices."
Despite the public's mounting concern and drones being found over Governor Chris Christie's house, he still expressed no concern. Furthermore he argued that there is no evidence of any foreign involvement with these New Jersey drones.
The NY Post shared a statement that he made to ABC News. He stated, "There's no question that people are seeing drones. And I want to assure the American public that we, in the federal government, have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology, to assist the New Jersey State police in addressing the drone sightings. "
Additionally he argued that not all of the New Jersey drones were actually drones. "Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones. Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. And we do see duplicative reporting." Furthermore, he told the public that the Federal Aviation Administration updated its drone policy back in September of 2023 to allow them to fly at night.
He attributes the increased sightings to that. However, residents are still not appeased. With some of these drones being the size of SUV's and flying at altitudes and speeds not previously commercially known the public is concerned. Despite Mayorkas constant downplaying of the current events, the public is demanding answers.
