“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday, in what she described as a statement directly from the president.
The statement closely echoes remarks from former President Joe Biden’s administration last year, which sought to tamp down conspiracy theories surrounding a series of drone sightings across New Jersey and other areas in the Northeast.
Trump previously suggested — without citing evidence — that the US military knew where drones took off from and was willfully withholding information about the sightings. He also said that some of the drones had been spotted around his Bedminster golf course.
