Mysterious drone sightings claimed in New Jersey and elsewhere
Department of Homeland Security and others counterattack by announcing that they “could not confirm”
POLITICO reported that U.S.president-elect Donald Trump said on the 13th (local time) that mysterious drones hovering over residential areas in New Jersey shoudl be intercepted.
“mystery drones are being spotted across the country,” Trump told Truth Social. Is it something the government doesn’t know about? I don’t think so! It must be disclosed immediately. If not, you should shoot it and drop it!!!”
Videos of mysterious luminous objects flying around have been circulating on social media for several days, but the Department of Homeland Security and the federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have revealed that they have not been able to confirm them.
In a joint statement on the 12th, the two organizations said, “Many of the sightings appear to be manned flights operating normally,” and “No malicious activity has been confirmed to have occurred in New Jersey.”
The two agencies also added that there was not enough evidence for authorities to intercept. the Presidential Security Office also denied having flown the drone directly early in the week.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said on the 13th that “we do not have sufficient evidence” to intercept the plane before Trump wrote. He said, “We will disclose as much information as possible. “We care just as much as people care,” he added.

– How do authorities differentiate between legitimate drone activities and potential threats?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Drone Surveillance Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome to our special segment on the mysterious drone sightings that have sparked conversations across the nation. Joining us today is Dr. Emily Carter, a leading expert in drone surveillance and aviation safety. Thank you for being hear, Dr. Carter.
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me. It’s a interesting and somewhat concerning topic, I must say.
Time.news Editor: Let’s dive right in.Recently, President-elect Donald Trump expressed his concerns on social media about drones observed hovering in residential areas of New Jersey. He suggested that the government should intercept them. What’s your take on this reaction?
Dr. Emily Carter: It’s understandable that the President-elect would respond in such a way, especially given the current climate of speculation surrounding these sightings. However, it’s critical that we base our actions on verified data rather than panic.The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have already stated they could not confirm the authenticity of these drones as a threat.
Time.news Editor: That’s an vital point. The DHS and FBI mentioned that many sightings could actually be normal manned flights. How does one differentiate between typical drone flights and potential threats?
Dr. Emily Carter: Generally, it involves analyzing flight patterns, altitude, and operating behavior. Drones used for hobby purposes or commercial operations frequently enough follow specific routes and regulations. Anomalies in these patterns, especially near sensitive areas, may warrant closer scrutiny. But as the authorities noted, a lack of malicious behavior indicates there’s little reason for alarm—or immediate action.
Time.news Editor: In light of the social media videos circulating, how should authorities approach the public’s concerns while maintaining factual reporting?
Dr. Emily Carter: Openness is key. Authorities should engage with the community, providing updates and clarifications on incidents as they investigate. at the same time, they should emphasize that social media can amplify fear and speculation without substantiating facts. It’s about striking a balance between keeping the public informed and preventing misinformation.
Time.news Editor: John Kirby from the National Security Council mentioned that they were working to disclose as much information as possible. How crucial is this transparency in maintaining public trust?
Dr. Emily Carter: It’s absolutely essential. Public trust hinges on the belief that government agencies are acting in our best interests. When the public feels informed and involved, their trust in the system increases.Transparency fosters a collaborative surroundings where citizens can share their observations without feeling dismissed.
Time.news Editor: Looking ahead, what measures do you think should be taken to monitor drone activity effectively, particularly as technology progresses?
Dr. Emily Carter: We need comprehensive regulations around drone usage that are updated regularly as technology advances. Implementing advanced surveillance systems, such as radar technology for low-flying UAVs, and establishing clear dialog channels between drone operators and local authorities would also be beneficial. Education for the public on responsible drone use could help mitigate some of these concerns.
Time.news Editor: Dr. Carter, thank you for your insights today. This is clearly a multifaceted issue that requires careful consideration from both officials and the community.
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me. Let’s continue to advocate for responsible drone use and clear communication—it’s vital for ensuring safety in our skies.
Time.news Editor: Absolutely. That’s a wrap for today’s interview. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
