Biden says there's 'nothing nefarious' about recent drone sightings
President Joe Biden sought to reassure the public on drones in East Coast states, saying there was nothing alarming about the increased reports of unmanned aircraft sightings.
President Joe Biden sought Tuesday to reassure the public about drones in East Coast states, saying there was nothing alarming about the increased reports of unmanned aircraft sightings.
“Nothing nefarious, apparently," Biden told reporters at the White House. "We’re following it closely. So far no sense of danger.”
Biden’s remarks — his first public comments on the matter — add to a growing number of reassurances from his administration.
Still, the numerous sightings have sparked demands for more information from across the political spectrum, including President-elect Donald Trump, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York and members of Congress, amid conspiracy theories and rising public concern tied to the sightings.
Biden said Tuesday night that "there’s a lot of drones authorized up there."
