Air Force Colonel Urges White House to Take Drones Reports Seriously
A retired United States Air Force colonel, Col. Cedric Leighton, has urged the White House to stop dismissing reports of drones buzzing over New Jersey and start treating the claims seriously. He emphasized the need to determine if the mysterious flying objects are foreign assets or other unauthorized entities.
Leighton criticized the government’s response to the drone reports, stating that the public’s help should be solicited instead of being told not to believe what they see. He emphasized the importance of government responsiveness to the people’s concerns.
While the White House National Security Council has downplayed the concerns, suggesting that most sightings are misidentifications of legal aircraft, members of Congress have raised suspicions of malicious foreign entities. The lack of concrete information has left New Jersey residents and lawmakers frustrated.
US Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s claim of drones possibly originating from an Iranian “mothership” stationed offshore was quickly dismissed by the Pentagon, leading to further skepticism among lawmakers and the public.
Unconfirmed Reports of Drone Activity in New Jersey
Recent reports of drones crashing in New Jersey have added to the growing concerns. Police scanners indicated incidents of drones falling from the sky and sparking frenzies of activity in the area. Law enforcement officials have been cautious in handling these incidents, awaiting further investigation.
Senators from New York and New Jersey have joined forces to demand explanations from federal agencies regarding the drone incursions. The bipartisan concern underscores the seriousness of the situation and the need for swift action to address the source of the drone activity.
New Jersey Residents On Edge
The uncertainty surrounding the drone sightings has left New Jersey residents like Ari Perez feeling anxious and unsettled. Perez described a chilling encounter with a drone above Wayne, NJ, expressing concerns about the safety and security of the country amidst the mysterious drone activities.
