After a strange drone was spotted flying over some of the country last month, rumors and conspiracy theories arose. White House press director Karoline Leavitt on the cause of many of the aircraft observations, including those that were reported over New Jersey in November, helped put people’s minds at ease on Tuesday.
The Federal Aviation Administration in fact gave the robots permission to fly. The FAA granted permission for the large-scale robots that were flying over New Jersey after extensive research and study, according to Lake.
Another drones flown by hobbyists were spotted, according to the White House, as the interest in the occurrence grew. ” This was not the enemy”, Leavitt said.
Trump had promised to find out the truth when he took company during the campaign trail.  ,” I didn’t think it’s an army, or there would have been, you know, individuals may have gotten blown up, all of them. Maybe they were testing issues. I don’t understand why. They wouldn’t have said what it was”, Trump said from the Oval Office next year. ” They had a lot of them flying over Bedminster, which is interesting”, referring to his team in New Jersey.
When the drones were first spotted, there was a flurry of common concern, yet igniting the FBI’s interest. Fox News reviews of the helicopter story:
In a Dec. 3 FBI statement, it is stated that” the FBI Newark, NJ State Police, and NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness are asking the public for any information regarding the recent sightings of possible drones flying along the Raritan River.”
After numerous occurrences, the Federal Aviation Administration placed temporary flight constraints, which forbid helicopter flights over components of , New Jersey.
Nevertheless, an FBI official afterwards said that of the almost 5, 000 suggestions they received related to reported aircraft observations, “less than 100 prospects have been generated and deemed worthy of further investigative action”.
In mid-December, a DHS official said they’re” confident that many of the reported drone sightings are, in fact, manned aircraft being misidentified as drones” , , ABC News reported.
An examination by the White House, in cooperation with the FBI and state and local officials, concluded that “lawful, legitimate, professional hobby and even law police aircraft action” was responsible for the sightings, former White House national protection communications adviser , John Kirby previously told Fox News.
