White House Faces Scrutiny Over New Jersey Drone Sightings Explanation

Officials claim FAA-approved research drones were responsible, but skeptics question the lack of transparency and conflicting accounts.

The White House stated that mysterious drones spotted across New Jersey and neighboring states late last year were authorized by the FAA for research purposes.
The explanation has been met with skepticism from local officials and residents, with some questioning the vague nature of the research and the lack of prior disclosure.
New Jersey Assemblyman Brian Bergen and local law enforcement officials have criticized the federal response, calling for clearer and more transparent communication.
An Air Force veteran and self-identified UFO whistleblower has claimed that the drones were not FAA-approved, further fueling public doubts.
The FAA has not provided detailed answers about the drones' purpose or why temporary flight restrictions were imposed during the sightings.
