Iranian 'mothership' isn't behind drone sightings over New Jersey, Pentagon says
Federal officials Wednesday rejected claims the mysterious drones spotted in New Jersey are coming from an Iranian "mothership."
Federal officials Wednesday rejected claims the mysterious drones spotted in New Jersey are coming from an Iranian "mothership."
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., said Wednesday on Fox News that the unidentified flying objects in his state's skies are coming from an Iranian vessel off the East Coast — a claim the Defense Department flatly denied.
Drew, who is on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said he has heard from “high sources” that Iran is controlling the mysterious objects.
“Iran launched a mothership probably about a month ago that contains these drones. That mothership is off … the East Coast of the United States of America. They’ve launched drones into everything that we can see or hear,” Drew said. “And again, these are from high sources. I don’t say this lightly.”
He added the drones should be “shot down,” whether they are coming from Iran or people who fly drones as a hobby.
