President-elect Donald Trump shared that his Bedminster, NJ, golf course has witnessed several drone sightings. He assured the public that he would release a detailed report on these mysterious flying objects shortly after assuming office. Trump emphasized the frequency of drone sightings over Bedminster and expressed concern over the lack of information provided to the residents and lawmakers of New Jersey.
Speaking at a Republican governors event at Mar-a-Lago, Trump highlighted the need for transparency regarding drone activities. He promised to deliver a comprehensive report on drones within the first days of his administration. The president-elect criticized the current lack of information surrounding the drone incidents and pledged to address the issue promptly.
Residents and officials in New Jersey were alarmed by the surge in drone sightings, prompting Trump to take action on the matter. He acknowledged the significance of keeping the public informed about such occurrences and committed to providing a detailed report on the situation. Trump’s proactive approach towards addressing the drone sightings reflects his commitment to transparency and accountability.
Trump, 78, noted that several governors at the Palm Beach, Fla., meeting had also reported seeing drones in their states and wanted answers.
“We are home to the largest naval base in the world in Quantico,” GOP Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, who was seated next to Trump at the event, told reporters. “And we also have a lot of the [Navy SEAL] teams and have a huge national security infrastructure and now for two years running, we have had drone incursion over secure airspace.”
“And we still don’t know why. And I think that’s absolutely unacceptable,” Youngkin added.
Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry also recounted suspicious drone activity over sensitive nuclear sites in his states that occurred around the same time an ISIS terrorist rammed his truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans.
“While we were dealing with a terrorist attack in New Orleans we had drones being flown over our nuclear reactors in Louisiana, and we brought that attention to the [Federal Aviation Administration],” Landry said. “We’ve been asking the FAA to give states the ability to mitigate these drones.”
“It is sitting on some bureaucrats desk, and that’s real,” the governor fumed.
The FBI said it has investigated approximately 5,000 reports of drone sightings it received from the public, with about 100 deemed credible.
Federal officials maintain the drones pose no threat to national security or the public at large but have not provided concrete answers about the origin and purpose of the objects involved in many of the most alarming incidents.
“They don’t want to talk about it, and nobody knows why,” Trump said of the Biden administration’s response to the drone surge.
“I hope it’s not an enemy, but we’re going to find out on the 21st,” the president-elect said, referring to the day after his Jan. 20 inauguration.
“You have to give me a little time for the inauguration but shortly thereafter, we’ll give you a report on it. We’ll tell you exactly what it is they know, and it’s very strange that they aren’t talking about it,” he added.
