Trump reveals what New Jersey drones REALLY were as White House admits craft were conducting 'research' President Donald Trump has revealed the source of the mysterious drones over New Jersey, saying they were authorized to conduct 'research.'.
In the first press briefing of Donald Trump's second administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: 'After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.'.
Today's announcement, while ambiguous, delivers on Trump's promise before the election to disclose the source of the drones when he became president.
The Biden administration said in December there was no evidence of anything nefarious with the sightings, after they were linked to Iran and China, but claimed it was unable to verify any of the thousands of reports of craft.
Leavitt continued to explain many of the drones were 'hobbyists, recreational and private individuals' and 'in time, it got worse due to curiosity.'.
