Mysterious recent drone sightings over New Jersey investigated by FBI. “Iran launched a mothership that contains these drones”, guarantees Republican deputy. Pentagon denies everything.
Republican United States Congressman Jeff Van Drew warned of “a national security crisis” this Wednesday: Iran “launched drones” over the USA.
“I’m going to tell the truth”, began the member of the judiciary committee of the chamber of deputies to , who says he received the information from “highly placed sources, very qualified and responsible”, whose identity he did not reveal.
“Iran launched a mothership, probably about a month ago, that contains these drones. That mothership is off the east coast of the USA. They launched dronesand I don’t say this lightly”, confessed the member of the transportation commission about recent mysterious sightings in the state of New Jersey.
“We know that it is not our own government”, assured the US congressman, who belongs to the aviation subcommittee, arguing that flying objects should also not belong to an amateur: “ordinary citizens do not have access to this technology”.
“These drones must be shot down. We are not receiving all the information and the military is in maximum alert“, he highlighted, pointing attention to “the agreement that Iran made with China to buy drones, motherships and technology”.
Later, he reinforced in a publication in X that the situation “it’s alarming”pointing to “a national security crisis that we cannot ignore”.
“Slaughter them now”, he appealed.
What we’ve uncovered is alarming—drones flying in from the direction of the ocean, possibly linked to a missing Iranian mothership.
This is a national security crisis we cannot ignore.
Bring them down now.

Carta a Joe Biden
According to , Van Drew sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking for “quick action”.
The letter states that the Coast Guard saw drones entering New Jersey from the Atlantic Ocean and that an Iranian mothership is currently missing from port, and that the date the ship left port coincides with the start of the sightings, which were reported several weeks ago by several citizens on social media, with the FBI investigating the cases and calling for official reports of sightings.
Is anyone concerned with the drones flying over the reservoirs in NJ? They do provide drinking water to millions.

Don’t worry Although Phil Murphy doesn’t know anything about these drones, he can assure you that there’s no threat. 🤦♂️

“We know that Iran has the motive and capability to carry out such an operation. In the past, Iran has brought ships closer to the United States and has a sophisticated partnership with China to produce drones,” the congressman wrote.
“While I remain open to alternative explanations, I have not been presented with a single credible and cohesive narrative other than that Iran is controlling these drones,” he further said.
Pentagon denies
In turn, the Pentagon denied the Republican congressman’s surprising statements, insisting that “there is no proof” that the drones belong to a country that is an adversary of Washington.
During a press conference held on Wednesday, Deputy Secretary of Defense Sabrina Singh said that “there is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States and there is no mothership launching drones toward the United States.”
